observations…reality tv style

Today it was between working out, going to the grocery store, or catching up on my reality tv shows. Guess what won out?
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my obsessions and I think its high time. (My new upstairs neighbors would be giggling right now that I just said high.)
Dancing with the Stars
Borrrrrring. 
All season was painful for me to watch. I don’t even really know why I continued to do so. But I did, and here are my thoughts. 
Chuck and his blonde girlfriend: I don’t think life is fair, and they simply prove it. How can two people look so hot no matter what is going on or what they’re doing? I think she could be puking her brains out and still look amazing. It’s not fair. My self esteem needed them to go home.

Shawn Johnson: She reminds me of those beauty pageant toddlers. She looks exactly like them! All little and young, but done up as though she is a drag queen. It made me sad. I just wanted to throw some PINK sweats on her and hand her a text messaging phone and be done with it.
Melissa: Watching her made me want to get in shape. Seriously, did you see her become the perfect body before your eyes? Being dumped nationally combined with dancing I guess does wonders for your abs. 
Moving on to the other heartbroken girl in my life…
The Bachelorette
I only watched the first ten minutes before I fell asleep. I think after the ten minutes of seeing Jillian in her bikini, running, working out, washing a car?, walking in a field of flowers whilst staring off pondering her life…..really at that point, only the men watching could have still been awake.
I’ll try to get back to that one later.
Might I mention again, that heartbreak did wonders for her body?  Has she been dancing too??

The Hills

I don’t even know anymore what’s real and what isn’t. And it’s affecting me in such ways I didn’t even know were possible. Such as, is this diet coke I’m drinking really diet? Is this couch I’m sitting on really real? Because if The Hills isn’t reality tv, if it’s truly scripted, then what is real anymore?

And don’t even tell me that Heidi’s hair, nose, chin, boobs, and eyelashes aren’t real either, because then I think my world would really fall apart.



American Idol
Again, even with Danny Gokey, I was still super bored all season. I don’t think I can handle another season of this. It’s not fun anymore. It feels like torture really. And you might shoot me, but I don’t see what the big deal is about Adam. He likes to scream a lot, and come on now, we get he can hit the high notes. WE GET IT! But, I’m not too surprised, because of all the winners over the past years, I’ve never been a big fan or wanted to run out and buy the winning cd. Won’t happen this time either…unless Kris wins.  
I’m not holding my breath.
Also, they need new writers.  Because the cue cards that say:  You can sing the phone book, Aw dawg, it’s a bit pitchy, song choice song choice, wasn’t my favorite performance….and so on, are getting old.  It’s like they just rotate the cards and the judges just recite what they see.  
Not fun.
But what is fun????

Real Housewives of New Jersey
I am in love.  And while there are rumors someone is mafia affiliated, it is certainly not I spreading those rumors.  Uh uh.  No way would I ever ever assume such a thing.  
I think I love this show.  They are sthicker than stheives, and don’t you know I won’t ever forget it.

  1. of all these shows, I only watch The Hills …and lol to that. Of course Heidi is 100% REAL …just compare her look now to when the first episode ran ..lol

  2. Ahahaa, “We are as STHICK as STHIEVES!”… I laugh every time i see that promo!

    And I can’t stand Adam, either. I don’t get why so many people do. Seriously? Would people buy that cd? Maybe I’d go see a rock opera with him in it… that’s about where I’d draw the line.

    P.S. Is there such a thing as a rock opera?

  3. Of those, I only watch DWTS, and I love it!

    Yesterday, while I was bored to death getting some IV fluids at the hospital, they had limited channels. I ended up watching “The Fashion Show” and “Make Me A Supermodel”. I lol’d at those.

  4. I haven’t watched the new housewives yet. After seeing the “meet the new housewives” special I didn’t think I’d like it. But every review has been awesome so I started DVRing last night. Looks like it could be a fun weekend.

    Also, did you hear the new casting call is for Real Houswives of Beverly Hills????? Awesome!

  5. Enjoyed your post and thoughts about your fav reality shows. You might know this already, but I have a secret for you on Melissa and her killer body. One of the dancers, I think her name is Karina, has been reporting on DWTS for E! News. They interviewed the DWTS spray tanner lady and she said that she sculpts the muscles on ALL the dancers, from abs to arms to legs. They do shading on body parts and create ab definition. Karina even admitted that they did that to her too. She said the gals need it when they are wearing those belly baring outfits. In Vegas they have sprayers that go around the pools and will spray abs and muscles on you for a fee. I have seen pics of these gals and guys on DWTS and they do have killer bods. All that dancing and diet restrictions work. I wish I had the motivation to do what they do, but I think I will stick to spray tan muscles. Take care.

  6. I am SO on the Housewives bandwagon!! And what’s the deal with the phone sex lady!?! I mean seriously, that’s just weird. I really didn’t envision her looking like that…she sounds a lot thinner on the phone.

  7. I have been vieing for Danny and Adam all season… but i am tired of the screaming better known as “the note”

    I don’t watch any of the other shows you mentioned. You didn’t mention America’s Next Top Model, wassup wit dat?

  8. I love reality tv. But I prefer suvivor, so you think you can dance, real world, etc.

  9. Reading this made me very glad I don’t watch realty TV, haha. Seriously, I can’t get into it no matter how hard I try! I’m just too addicted to Law & Order, and since Law & Order reruns are ALWAYS on, I really have no choice. 😉

  10. Great post Summer, loved reading this! Please do more like it!

  11. I don’t watch much tv. I’ve heard that dancing is the best workout ever. It might also be fun, too.

    I haven’t watched American Idol since Doughtry was voted off … how many years ago was that? Did I spell his name right?

    And … that’s about all I know about tv. Your post made me realize that I really am not missing much. 🙂

  12. Spray tan abs or not, Melissa has clearly not birthed yet!!!

  13. I havent watched American Idol in a few years. I just lost all interest. Seemed like the same dang thing over and over and over and the person I always wanted to win never did, so I threw a fit like a baby and decided I was done. I dont watch any of the other stuff, except I watch Real Housewives of OC, never tried any of the others

  14. I love your blog first off. Been a lurker but have never commented! I swear you think like me so often. And those thoughts on reality tv are dead on! And those Jersey girls kill me! I am addicted. Happy Wife Happy Life I think I need to stitch that on a pillow. Kindly Karen~

  15. Love your new blog! It looks fabulous! I am also completely in love with the Real Housewives of NJ. Could possibly be my favorite so far…because I have seen ALL the others to compare it to!

  16. I haven’t watched any of the shows except the Real Housewives! It was so fantastic. I wanted it to go on and on forever and never end : ). Well, at least until my bedtime. They are too crazy for words. So, who do you think has mafia connections? The one who paid $120,000 CASH for her furnishings? I am enthralled and can’t wait until the next episode!

  17. OK…I think I might be in love…you have the exact same opinons about the reality shows as me…and to boot…the hubs and I totally make fun of sthicker the sthieves….How histerical is that !!!! I am following you…whether you like it or not….;)
