Why is it that most of America is getting off on watching Simon (American Idol) destroy the hope and dreams of some young person who aspires to be a singer?


I fucking hate reality TV. I remember when only one reality show, The Real World (the older seasons), was worth watching. Now it seems every channel has there own version. (Btw, the creator of all those shows died, not too long ago)

Many of these shows are based upon the idea of betraying everyone in order to win. Examples: Survivor, Big Brother, etc. It’s almost like they believe the only thing worth watching are a bunch of “normal” people act like asses to one another. Like I really want to see that. These people come on the show with this “it’s all about me” mentality that makes me sick. I like to believe in the goodness of others but I can’t see any of that through all the back stabbing and arguments.

The reason I put “normal” in quotations is because these people aren’t regular everyday people. These guys have to be searched for out of many other applicants. Each one of the “chosen” are those that fit certain stereotypes in order to create drama and conflict.

Oh, and have you ever wondered why a reality show needs about six writers. Well, turns out those very same writers write what the “normal” people say in the confessionals. Haven’t you ever wondered why everyone sounds the same, even though they all come from different backgrounds?

Even the real world has changed. It used to be a show about seven strangers picked to live…blah blah blah…You all know the rest. Now it seems to be about whom in the house is gonna hook up with whom.

My guess would be Trishel with…whatever guy just happens to be around at the time.

Then there are the reality shows about the people who have no idea about reality, rich celebrities. Ok, lets talk a little bit about “Rich Girls” and “The simple life”. Both shows follow around rich girls that don’t live on the same planet we all do. Damn, same page different book. These girls are so oblivious of the world around them. They’re spoiled brats that will never amount to anything without “daddies fortune”.

I guess it’s not really their fault they were raised on money. So I can let it go. Hell, I actually like watching The Osbourne’s.

While we’re on the subject of the rich. There’s also the other kind of reality show that’s all about tricking people to participate in some fake contest to see how far that person will go to win it. Ex. “Joe Millionaire”, where they trick the most money hungry women into believing that this guy is rich and looking for someone to share it all with. After meeting “Joe” these girls instantly feel some kind of “connection” with him. Yeah a connection with his wallet, but the jokes on you, cause really, he’s construction worker that gets paid about fifteen bucks an hour…have fun.

Is anyone else’s gag reflex working on overtime? I know mine is.

Now there seems to be a new trend in reality shows, the reality show makeover. Not the kind of makeover that requires only a haircut and some lipstick, but the kind of make over that requires a plastic surgeon. Example: The Swan, Fox’s answer to “Extreme makeover”. I hate this show with a passion. It comes off as taking “ugly” women and doing the greatest thing they could possibly do for them…pay for their plastic surgery. After all the “makeovers” the “swans” will compete against each other in a beauty pageant, that’s if you’re still watching.

Anyone else feel the vomit coming?

Many if not all of the women on the show are attractive already; well when it comes to physical looks anyway. I see these women go through their “transformations” from “ugly duckling” to “swan”. I see a change in the way they look. I also see how much pain; they’re in after the surgery. Maybe they could’ve dieted to lose the weight? Ya know a bit of exercise would help. Then again I guess no amount of exercise will ever get your nose to look the way you want it to.

Why can’t these people see that in the end you’ll be old, fat and your hair will be gray? What’s so wrong with that? It’s normal to grow old, acquire wrinkles and so on.

I’m not against plastic surgery, mind you. I’ve seen women disfigured by their ex husbands, who confused their faces with punching bags and go through plastic surgery to get back what was taken away from them. I think that’s the best (and to me the only) reason to get plastic surgery.

Then I see these girls that want a smaller waist and it just makes me crazy. Marilyn Monroe was a size fourteen. What’s wrong with that? I don’t know about you guys, but I miss women with curves. America’s shallow frame of mind is just disappointing. I’ve seen very attractive young women have such low opinions about their bodies. (It’s not just the women either bulimia and anorexia are on the rise amongst men)

I saw this one makeover show…on MTV, about two girls going through plastic surgery to get a bigger chest and a smaller waist in order to be models. In the physical sense of the word beautiful, they weren’t, not before or after. When it comes to being beautiful in any other way, they weren’t. I think that’s why I wasn’t attracted to them at all.

(Sarcasm coming in 3… 2… 1)

Oh yeah, I love women with more plastic in them than a Barbie Doll. I can’t stand to see a woman that has the nose, chin, and cheekbones they were born with. I love a size two waist with size double d breast sitting on top, cause girls that look like they’re about to topple over just turns me on in all the right ways. Oh and those over inflated lips just make me so hard. Lets not forget about that face of yours that has been stretched so far back that your ears are touching each other. Oh god! I think I’m gonna have an orgasm just thinking about it.
