I love watching TV! it's no secret, and I'm not ashamed to admit it :) I love, love, love that there are things such as DVR and Hulu for me to keep up with it all! Reality TV is everywhere now, and I am definitely a sucker for it! But last week, 2 shows really actually taught me something! I'm a little ashamed to tell you the two of them because I think they are my worst guilty pleasure, but here I go....Real Housewives of OC and The Bachelorette. okay, you can stop laughing now. :)
First, Housewives. I know it's reality and I don't believe everything, but it's entertaining television, it's sort of like a train wreck you know, you can't stop watching. In this particular episode, the season finale, there is no way Vicki's emotions are false. The poor woman is going through a divorce. She cries because she is in her bathroom and his toothbrush is still there, anytime anyone says his name she starts crying again, and as soon as you think she's going to stop crying, feelings take over again and she starts crying, basically over anything and nothing. My heart aches for her! I know I have never been through a divorce, but I have been through heartache, and lost loves, and that's exactly how I have felt in the past. I admit I am an emotional person and I cry as easily as I laugh and as much as I text (aka, A LOT) Except with heartache I always thought, why the hell do I cry over any little thing that remind me of him? and I would tell my self I was dumb. Vicki showed me that I am not the only one who does that. Watching the episode was so, so sad, but I know that she is a strong woman and will be able to overcome all of it. to read more, here is Vicki's blog
Moving on, The Bachelorette. oooooh man. Bentley! BENTLEY! if I was asked to describe in a nutshell the type of guys I've dated I would describe most of them as a "Bentley"
Here's the link if you'd like to watch the episode week 3-Bentley Here's Ashley (Bachelorette) so in lust with this guy, she's eating up all the bs he's feeding her, and in the interviews (that Ashley doesn't get to see until the show airs) Bentley says numerous times how he wishes it was someone else as the bachelorette, and how Ashley's not really his type. Now, I know that production probably knew about this but decided to put him on because it would make good tv (and it does) but I'm glad they did, now I don't feel like I am the only stupid one who eats up everyone's sweet nothings and "has a good feeling about this one" while the guy is being a douche seeing what he can get out of me. Even when she was crying on him when he decided to tell her he was leaving (which he used his child as an excuse by the way, WHAT A PIG) he made a nasty comment on the position they were in (she was straddling him while hugging him) that he "wanted to get some then" PIG. again. watch the episode, you will see it ALL and will want to hate him :)
I watch reality TV because for the most part, a lot of it is true. I giggle at the corny dates on bachelorette and the funny drama there is on it sometimes, but I do believe peoples feelings are real. I mean, actors have to feel something when they are playing a part, so why would normal people be able to leave their feelings at the door? that's my reasoning behind "real feelings on reality tv" I know a lot of it is fake, and a lot is taken out of context to make a good show, and it works! haha
I think I'm going to write a blog once a week on shows. So You Think You Can Dance has started and I am hooked already! and I started Parks & Recreation so I am LOVING Netflix for that!
I hope everyone enjoys my deep dark secrets coming out about my guilty pleasures and how much I connect with these silly shows, it took a lot of guts for me to put this out there, so I hope you guys can relate, or at least got a good laugh!
Happy Wednesday everyone! <3
ooh! and I almost forgot! Gretchen, my favorite Housewife, said something in one of her interviews about her relationship: "sometimes love isn't enough" and "I'm in love but I'm not in love and stupid" these two quotes, ahhh, I have really fallen in love with them. Just wanted to put them out there :)
