I Know So Much (Ha! Ha!)

I am a reality show junkie! I love to watch people loose tonz of weight on "The Biggest Loser", listen to artists get their big break on "American Idol", Dance their butts of on "So You Think You Can Dance", and stumble around on the dance floor on "Dancing With The Stars." But I don't think it brings out my best attributes:) I get overly critical of the contestants. I hear myself saying things like "What is she wearing?", "Poor song choice.","That was terrible footwork.", "Sounded a little pitchy.", "That was a mistake!" I sound like I think I am an expert.

The truth is I have no leg to stand on. I have no idea what I am talking about. I don't even know what the word "pitchy" means. I have never taken a dance lesson in my life (unless you count social dance in collage:) I could never do what these very talented people do. Even the wost contestant on the show does better than I would do. And here I am on the couch giving them my two cents (like they even care.) I guess that this is what these shows are about. Making you feel like you are an expert. Watching others squirm in the spotlight, and you having the power to save them.

The other funny thing about me loving to watch these shows is I NEVER VOTE. I always have strong opinion about who needs to leave, but I can never bring myself to be a part in their failure.

I guess what I really like about this type of entertainment is that it shows what people can do. A man can change his life by losing 200 lbs. A girl from a trailer park can win a Grammy. A football player can move gingerly across the dance floor. A girl can move so gracefully that tears form in my eyes. Ordinary people are talented.
