Guilty Pleasures

October 12th, 2006 | 2 Comments | Entertainment |

From the very first days of “real­ity TV,” I’ve been look­ing down my nose at it. I won’t watch Sur­vivor, I won’t watch Fear Fac­tor. Never saw an episode of “The Amaz­ing Race.” I try to limit TV in gen­eral to a very few shows a week because I’ve got other stuff to attend to and I’m just gen­er­ally a lit­tle snobby that way.

But I have to con­fess: I’m hooked on “Project Run­way.”

Sure, I can blame my daugh­ter for get­ting me started on it, but that would be wrong. No, it’s just some­thing about the mix of cre­ativ­ity and com­pet­i­tive­ness, with a dash of gos­sip. Oh, and Heidi Klum.

The sea­son finale is next week, and I’m not rec­om­mend­ing you start now. A lot of the inter­est is in the buildup and devel­op­ment. It’s just some­thing I had to get off my chest.

    Me too with Project Run­way.
    The Amaz­ing Race’s pacing/editing make my eyes twitch invol­un­tar­ily, oth­er­wise I’ll tol­er­ate it. Haven’t watched it this sea­son though.
    I’ve never watched Sur­vivor. IMO it’s back­stab­bers Gilligan’s Island.
