Okay - fess up ......
Who watches "The Bachelor"? I couldn't get past the first 2 minutes. Now I'm watching PBS. I do have to admit to watching "Dancing with the Stars", "Idol", "Survivor", "Little People, Big World" and a lot of HGTV as well as Court TV. Guess we all need our guilty pleasures.

1. I sometimes watch "Little People Big World" and a lot of HGTV as well
About the only other 'reality' TV I like is "Miami Ink" although I wish they'd cut out all the weird crap and focus on the artwork!
I don't consider HGTV to be quite a "guilty pleasure," you can actually learn a lot on that channel!

4. Hey - we could be joined at the hip .....
I like "Miami Ink" as well and consider getting a tattoo at times. I do like the stories of the artists and the clients who come into their shop. My husband shudders every time I have HGTV on, wondering how much it's going to cost him .... LOL!

5. *lol* My hubby likes some of the stuff on HGTV but he can't watch as much
of it as I do. Wish we got the DIY network; he'd love that one.
He likes Miami Ink once in a while; he wants to get a tattoo and says I can't get any more until he has at least one, so he'd better get crackin'! I've got more planned!!! *lol*

What kind of home projects do you like to do?

2. reality sucks
I get a double barreled dose of it between the eyes every day.
I won't pay to have it conveyed into my home.
Besides, reality tv is a scam.
It puts skilled actors and writers out of work.
And it's about as entertaining as watching a faucet drip.

6. In the beginning I would agree with you ......
I know that the reality shows are edited to the hilt, but it helps me to get out of the dark spiral of the GWB administration. They really are guilty pleasures for me.

3. I started watching Reality TV about 3 years after it got big
and mainly only the shittiest shows ever. Like Celebrity Mole, or I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. I even watched All-American Girl, which got canceled. I watched The Bachelorette with Trista Rehn, and watched The Bachelor Seasons with Bob the one funny guy from Trista's show, and the one with Jesse Palmer who was the Giants backup QB at the time. I have never watched Survivor or American Idol or Dancing With The Stars. I really only watched reality tv for about a year.

I really like the PBS reality stuff. Like Colonial House, Manor House etc. Those are the best by far. Flat out awesome!

7. whenever vh1 has an "Americas next top model" marathon on i'm there watching
oh yeah. That is one of the funnest mock fests ever, it's all about Tyra Banks even though it's not supposed to be, whatever the contestants do Tyra would "have done it this way" and when she says to the girls "Some models were really mean to me" she is always talking about Naomi Campbell. The judges are all assholes and you don't really give a shit who wins.

I haven't watched that, but I am hooked into "Top Chef" as well as "Top Design" (I think that's the name? - the one about designing clothes??) how could I have forgotten those two?

10. I don't watch The Bachelor
but I am a reality TV junkie: Survivor, The Amazing Race, Rockstar (CBS's version of American Idol), Top Chef, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, and probably a bunch of others I can't think of right now. I watch The Apprentice sometimes but I'm not a fan of it.
