My Reality!

Last night I got home and cranked on the DVR (as is overly typical on a Sunday night in Carlee-land) to check out all of the fabulous things that I've had recording over the last week. (Just as a side note, thanks to Steph and Linds for plugging the TIVO enough to make me spend the money - so stinkin' worth it!!) I always seem to rationalize not getting to bed at a decent hour by telling myself that if I don't catch up on the latest telelvision programming, I'll be a total outcast at work. Hmmm, maybe my thoughts about work being a popularity contest are what should be in question here? Who knows.
Anyway, as I was sifting through the array of garbage that has been saved for my late-night viewing, I noticed a completely unhealthy trend. . ."The Office - 8 episodes" (shocker), "Grey's Anatomy - 9 episodes" (also a huge shocker), Reality Show, Reality Show, Reality Show, Half of a Reality Show (No, I don't want to talk about it! I hate forgetting to check the prioritizer. That's twice I've come in or dropped off part way through a program. Gooo!). I am admitting it right now, I'm addicted to reality tv.
I don't really know what it is about reality television that can totally twist a person's mind into thinking that the world is a better place because we can see the Real World cast battle it out against the Road Rulers, but it does! I can't get enough of it. While I haven't reached the point of no return - that area when a reality show is actually your favorite television program (MTV has some serious ground to make up if they are ever going to overtake The Office and Grey's), I still have an unhealthy obsession. So, in hopes of getting other people addicted to this madness (yeah, it's like I'm a meth dealer or something, but way less harmful. . . I hope), or getting enough ridicule to make me stop watching, here's my top 3:

Real World/Road Rules: The Duel: We are only like 4 weeks into this and one girl has already been sent home for punching another girl in the face!! How great is that? Combine good looking idiots, Brazil, roller derbies and fab prizes and you get one crazy fiasco.
The Amazing Race: Remember when I said 1/2 a reality show? This is it and I was so angry! Luckily, it was the later half that I got to see so that was at least positive. The hicks from Kentucky (who could be the most white trash people I have ever seen) avoided elimination for the second time in the game. Combine teams with titles like 'Beauty Queens', 'Models' (they are guys who are also former drug addicts), and 'Girl with one leg' (ok, her team already lost, but it was for effect), you get one heck of a show on Sunday night!
Unwrapping Macy's: Laugh if you want but the dorky business side of me loves watching the inner workings of the largest department store in the world. Every thing from window designing to coming out with new fall lines - it's pretty impressive really. Oh, if I could only work for a store where Diddy makes a regular appearance. . .

Any and all reality show suggestions are totally welcome. Afterall, that's what the DVR was made for! I can watch them next Sunday so that I can form My Reality!
