Trashy Reality TV…

Ok people – over the last 10 days-ish I have discovered Tila Tequila… I’m so sorry; truly, even I expected more of myself. I’m in the midst of watching season 1 and I think I like it – its trashy, its funny; its like driving past a crash, you know you should just keep driving but you can’t help yourself… you keep watching (and you slow down).

 

I am appalled and amazed at just how I am intrigued about this show. I cannot help but ask myself questions about this concept; who is this woman and how did she get her name? I have honestly never heard of her! A quick Google search gave me the info and that she’d gotten her nickname in her early school years (am I the only one who finds this disturbing?). What did her Vietnamese family originally think of her being bisexual then going on TV to find llluuurrrve?

 

I loved that Italian guys accent – someone should give him a show! And Brandi – wow; how tall is that chick?

 

And now because I can’t bloody stop myself when it comes to this reality TV match-making bizzo I am also tuning into Aussies “The Farmer Wants a Wife” which just started last night on Channel 9. I found it absolutely hilarious that the producers felt that is was ok to let the audience (along with the fellow “competitors”/farmers) know how many responses each of them got. One of the ones that I found a bit all right (Ben) got the most responses; 200 women responded to his profile while farmer James got all of 24 responses. Although in saying that I do believe (based on my own experiences of my family collecting male suitor profiles) that it is definitely a case of quality over quantity.

 

Ooohhh, the guy off last year’s show got married in the beginning of last night episode – how’s that for a shot of positive marketing?

 

Tonight is the season premiere of the male version of Ladette to Lady – I guess I’ll just have to see if that’s any good too!
