I have never been a big fan of Reality TV. Sure, there's a few shows that I've watched. JBG has been a big fan of MTV's Real World, so I've watched a few episodes of that. But come on. You can't tell me that those people would actually act that way if the camera weren't on them.
Take a video camera to any event, any place where there are people. Once you point the camera at them, they will act like total imbeciles. It's uncanny how it works. The camera doesn't even have to be on, just point it at them and watch tens of thousands of years of evolution go right in the crapper.
The reason I'm writing this is the Bachelor. I never watched a second of it, and I really couldn't care less. However, somewhere in the back of my mind I'm glad the Jersey girl won. Yay for Jersey. For those of you who don't know, Helene is actually from Gloucester County, which is where I'm from. Yay.
But beyond that, I give less than a shit. The whole show's concept is shit. How can you call that reality? A guy has basically a harem full of women from which to choose his mate. Where does that actually happen in real life?
So to recap, Yay Helene, yay Jersey, Reality TV sucks, and I'm going to eat lunch.
