holy excitement batman...

For those of you that know me or for those of you that don't know me and read my blog, you have probably realized that I am addicted to reality television.  I may have mentioned that a few times on here... :) 

Now, I just started watching "Big Brother" last summer, and let me tell you I love it!  I really fell in love with Jeff and Jordan.  So It brought me great delight to find out at the reunion show they were dating (insert awwws).  But yesterday I found out something that brought even more joy to my life...Jeff and Jordan are going to be on "Amazing Race"!!!!!!!!!  It brought such joy and excitement to my life to know this.  I love "Amazing Race" and I love Jeff and Jordan...how perfect!!!!!!  Now if they will just win!

The Bachelor...

As I have already mention, I have an unnatural obsession with reality shows. And I will say that it has only grown worse. Recently I have become entertained by the reality show "The Bachelor". However, it is with some apprehension that I admit that I am entertained by "The Bachelor". Here is why...

1. Have we really come to a point in society that girls are so desperate to find "Mr. Right" that they will go on national television with 25 other girls and all "date" the same guy?

2. Really ladies...do you really think that a guy is going to be interested in you if you prove over and over again that you are just as shallow as the stereotype may prove?

3. Last night on "The Bachelor" during a one-on-one conversation with Jason, one of the girls revealed to him that she had a breast reduction (first of all you don't know the guy why would that be in the conversation at all?). But after she told him that, his immediate response was "Why?"---seriously! I know that guys can be shallow, but do you really have to prove it?

4. Most girls would be offended if they found out that a guy they were dating or even interested in was talking to or heaven forbid making out with another girl, but on this show somehow all "reality" is lost and the girls are alright with the situation.

5. Girls would actually go on a show and attempt to find true love based on only surface knowledge of a guy. And then once they meet him are "in love" with him. They then allow themselves to be led on by the man (I will not use the term gentleman, because that my friends he is not) and lead themselves to believe that they are the only one...and are truly heartbroken when they do not receive a rose. I mean really aren't there enough disappointments in life in and of itself that we really don't need to set ourselves up for disappointment?

I think that is enough of my soapbox for now...

I will say that last night on "The Bachelor" was probably one of the best conversations ever...

Jason (aka "the Bachelor") to Natalie during the one-on-one date: "Is there anything else I should know about you?

Natalie: "I like bears..."

Jason: "Like panda and koala bears?"

Natalie: "I mean I had a bear named fuzzy when I was little that made the local paper because I left it at a store"

***Side note: She did not get a rose...so ladies, please note: on a first date, don't tell a guy that you like bears...

But more than actually watching the show, I truly enjoy the time I get to spend with my dear friends...that time is priceless, and really some of the best quotes come from this time...
for example:

"I like my men younger...I mean...with lower voices" -Spring while watching American Idol
"Are we going to pass any gas (lots of laughter)...stations?" -Spring while driving
"We are just going to do a little Minnesota laundry..." -Fox 4 news caster
