Guilty Pleasure

For my last blog entry I've decided to come out with my love for trashy TV. When reality TV first began gaining popularity I thought it was the worst type of TV ever thought of. I refused to watch one episode of any one of those "trashy" shows as I called them. I actually didn't watch much TV. There were only a couple of drama shows that I was hooked on.

One day my best friend told me to watch a show called "Project Runway." I resisted at first, but after watching one episode I was hooked. I told her, and myself, that this would be the only reality TV show I would ever watch. I made excuses for the show. I said it was much better quality reality TV and it actually required skill to win. Unfortunately, this was not the last reality TV show I would ever watch.

After becoming obsessed with "Project Runway," much more smut followed. I began watching "America's Next Top Model" and then "Flavor of Love." I soon became a regular reality TV watcher. I now watch most reality shows on VH1, E!, and Bravo. I understand how horrible they are, and I actually spend most of my time making fun of what's happening, but I just can't stop. These trashy TV shows pulled me in and I can't find the will to stop watching them. I am a little embarrassed by my love for these shows, but I suppose we are all entitled to our guilty pleasures.
