Guest Blogging
I, too, am a guest blogger. I'm new to all this (guest blogging, that is) so y'all will have to bear with me.....
I normally blog at Kittysays. This week I may just hang out here because I have enough trouble filling up one blog, let alone two.
There are some reality shows I like despite my better judgment (read: Big Brother -- yeah, I don't know why I like it, I just do) and some I can't bring myself to like, even after a few glasses of wine (Temptation Island comes to mind -- no more Mark Wahlberg, EVER). One of my all time favorites was Joe Schmo, the un-reality show on Spike TV. The premise of this show was to stage a completely fake reality show (in that case, Lap of Luxury), and populate the show with actors, all playing parts. The only exception to the actors is one poor guy (the schmo) who thinks he's really on a reality show and is really trying to win a bunch of money.
The Schmo creators are back with Joe Schmo 2, a show that pokes fun at the romantic reality show genre (which no one really needs to tease, since the genre is such a self-parody). In my favorite aspect of the show, one of its creators has a blog, and he updates it after each episode.
And no, I don't know the difference between Ru Paul and J. Lo. But the research will begin at once.
I have never been able to sit through a reality show episode of any kind from start to finish. I don't know why. It's not like I have taste or good judgment or anything like that. It's probably the game show aspect of it because I don't watch those, either.

Well now - you might want to give that new Outback Jack show a shot, it's tacky as all get-out and pretty funny sometimes too (unintentionally, of course). I've never been a fan of reality TV, but in this case I can let it slide - the scenery is pretty good if nothing else!
