My Random Addictions: TV Shows

Hey everyone!

I figured it was about time for a "My Random Addictions" blog post and this is the perfect topic! Everyone has a guilty pleasure when it comes to TV whether it's a comedy show you like, an oldies series, or in my case reality TV. I have no idea why I love to watch other people's lives unfold, but it is definitely a random addiction. There is something about watching people on TV that you have no connection to, yet once you get hooked and watch more episodes you feel like you know them. Currently, my favorite reality TV show is The Challenge: Rivals 2, but this is only because I am heavily addicted to The Real World. I have no idea why, especially since their party lifestyle is something I would never partake in. I love to get to know the people in the house, predict what will happen, who will hook up with who, and typically find a favorite who I will then proceed to twitter stalk. I know, super weird. But don't you all have weird TV addictions too? Maybe it is just me, but I'm not ashamed!(Clearly since I'm writing about it in a post to the world) It all started not super far back in the past my freshman year in college with The Real World: Las Vegas where I became obsessed with Heather Marter and Dustin Zito. I still to this day love to read their tweets about what is going on in their lives, although unfortunately they broke up a few months ago which made me SUPER sad. Pathetic right? Now I look forward to when they are contestants on The Challenge series. Through the challenge, I have come to love old Real World or Road Rules cast members such as CT and Diem. I have to admit, once I find a new "old" cast member that I love I will Google about them to see what they started off as and where they're at now. It's a problem. A random addiction. What is it about these shows that hook you in when you have no real connection to these people and more than likely never will? I have no idea, but I love it! These are just shows that I am currently addicted to. Other obsessions of mine are mostly TV shows that have ended and I wind up watching over and over again on DVD (Gilmore Girls, The O.C., One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, Boy Meets World). Anyway, so what are your TV guilty pleasures? I'd love to read about them!

Thanks for reading,
