I Hope You All Die In A Fire

You know, I have hated reality TV since it's inception, but occasionally I will get trapped at the gym with the long line of tvs showing nothing but those programs with the closed captioning on.

And I realized something. Every singe person on those shows is a whiny, immature brat who would be much happier and would be enjoying whatever 'predicament' they were if if only the possessed the slightest spark of adventure, disciple, or endurance.

I remember way back in the day when Survivor was making its first season and my dad was so excited of seeing it. He thought it was about actual surviving in the wilderness and all that.
When he saw the first episode he was both disgruntled and disappointed that it is more about backstabbing than actual, y'know, surviving.

"It's like the Blair Witch Project: they don't know how to use a compass!"

My mom had the same reaction: "this is not how you would survive in the wilderness! You would be working together for the good of all!"

I think my dad would've enjoyed it more if it is more of the failings of attempting to survive in the wilderness then it is about being bastards.

I despise dating shows for reasons mentioned above, but I do enjoy watching that Matchmaker Millionaire show in purely on the fact that the matchmaker/host will put her foot down on these narcissistic millionaires when they go too far, saying things like "You are being an idiot, and you will not get her approval whether you think you want it or not." And the best part? If these women are uncomfortable with these guys, no matter how rich they are, they want nothing to do with them.

It's good that the hosts don't put up with shit.
