Reality Check!

I have several guilty pleasures. One of them being....

The Bachelor. I had sworn off reality romance shows after finding the last Bachelorette broke up with her fiance. Then what did they do?....

Pick Jason (whom I loved from the last Bachelorette) as the next Bachelor. Of course I had to watch! Tonight I was engrossed in my show, and Oby was mocking me (and the show) endlessly. I just giggled at his teasing because I agree that the show is ridiculous, but it reels me in and I can't help it!


Then Oby went into the bedroom to get ready for bed. I came in for a minute, and found him engrossed in....

A Double Shot at Love with the Ikki twins....


This show has the same premise as The Bachelor. Just minor differences.... The twins are bisexual so contestants are male and female. And the winner gets not one, but both of the twins, as their love.


Hmmmm suddenly I find my obsession with The Bachelor to be much less embarassing. He better not tease me about it anymore!

Well, we obviously disagree about our reality TV shows, but there's one thing we can always agree on.... that Chloe is a cutie patootie! Here are a couple pictures from her physical therapy appointment this afternoon....

Do you have any guilty pleasures?

Oh the guilty pleasures! I love the Bachelor as well, but gasp, have not watched this season yet! The one I religiously watch and have since Jr. High is Days of Our Lives... did we watch this together when we would finish work early?!? I get mocked by Jac, but he watches WWE wrestling, so I get my paybacks in!:)

I like to watch Dancing with the stars!! I secretly wish that I could move like they do!!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I have totally enjoyed your outlook on people.
I know this is really hard on some days but it is nice to know that someone cares enough to keep trying.

I'm a Survivor fan myself, but I can see the appeal of the bachelor.

I'm also a fan of trashy novels (which I'm really embarassed about).

Celine said...

Ah! The Bachelor! I love this show!
My guilty pleasure is to play World of Warcraft way too much! lol

Oh man I love to watch those Rock of Love shows with Bret Michaels. He's had what like 5 shows devoted to finding his true love... HA! Those boob-brained women only love themselves. :D
Anywho I just love watching them fight and argue.. its so entertaining!
Oh and i can agree with you Chloe is a cutie patootie!!

Suzi said...

I'm terrible, I watch a few shows. In fact I DVR them so I can make sure I DON'T miss them.
Days of Our Lives
Survivor
Lost
Grey's Anatomy
The Biggest Loser
....I think I will stop there for fear of being labeled as a TV addict.

And Chloe is a doll!

OK - my guilty pleasure is "True Life" on MTV. They remind me of the after-school specials that used to be on ABC when I was a kid. I would watch those things, learn the lesson and be like, "OK - I won't do that." Seriously.

Do you ever wonder what Chloe's guilty pleasures are going to be one day? LOL!

Thanks for visiting me the other day - I love comments!

"Dog the Bounty Hunter", yes, Guilty as charged. I love reality tv, Project Runway, Top Chef, Food Network...
Chloe is so adorable and looks like she is having a good time on her swing.

Nana said...

Bachelor, yes I am hooked, but I only watch it to make fun of all those stupid girls.

Hi there! Thanks so much for the blogby and saying hi!!!! I am SO loving this music by The Weepies. I have never heard of them before. I will have to check them out more and get their cd.

Your daughter IS a cutie patootie!!!! I don't watch the Bachelor shows but I do have other TV guilt with American Idol and Private Practice and at 37 years old, even One Tree Hill. :)

April said...

I'm a sucker for "The Bachelor" too!

and

MTV's "The Real World".

I have others but those are probably the most embarrasing! :)

Anonymous said...

I know they are fake but I aways get hooked on the VH1 shows. Chloe is looking taller.

Amanda said...

Hmmm, I at the moment don't have any embarassing reality guilty pleasures seeing as how I don't have cable. But my favorites used to be Trading Spaces and any other TLC show. I was totally hooked! It sure looks like Chloe enjoys her therapy, it sure looks like fun :)

jewelstreet said...

Yeah, I definitely think the Bachelor is much less embarassing then the Double Shot at Love. Oh, goodness!

Chloe is always the cutest thing!

Nathan and Dianna Wiley said...

True Beauty is a new funny one..simply pathetic I know. It comes on right after the Bachelor.. And I am intrigued with Jason as well..he is quite dreamy. Nate does the same thing to me, teasing and what not..to the point of slow-motioning the shirt removal! very funny. We should plan a party for the big finale! Love ya!

Heatherlyn said...

What a coincidence. I was planning to make a post today on a guilty pleasure. It should be up later.

I obviously don't watch much tv. I'm actually a little shocked at the latter reality tv show. wow.

Chloe is really cute.

Sandy said...

Alright, I confess. I am a reality TV addict. I just can't stop watching the weekly train wrecks of reality stars. Hehe!

Look how happy Chloe is on the swing! What a doll:)

Tina said...

I've got ya both beat, my guilty pleasure is 'the girls next door'. I have no idea why but I love that show!

vsm/whirling dirvish photography said...

Yea we've all got 'em! Mine are nip/tuck, real housewives, house, and bones!

Shelly said...

DVR is the greatest invention ever. I used to have to choose between watching the shows I love or spending time with my children. Now, I get both. So, spending money on a DVR is one of my guilty pleasures. I also love the soap opera CSI:Miami (yes, it's way more of a soap opera than a crime drama). In the fall I love Dancing With the Stars. In the summer I love HGTV's Design Star. TMI?

Kim said...

Ikki twins are right. And they look really icky compared to beautiful Chloe. My worst guilty pleasure is Esther Price chocolates. The caramel pecan clusters are like heroin to me.

Ashley said...

I love The Bachelor but that is a much less guilty pleasure than A Double Shot at Love... or whatever.. Haha!

haggardmom said...

I must admit that I avoid 'reality' shows like the plague! The only things I must watch each week are 'Heroes','The First 48', and 'Survivorman'. Hm... does that make me a huge dork?? lol
Although, I will cop to watching the Veria channel, which is the totally new-age-hippie-herbs channel!

Stephanie said...

I also have been following bachelor...but my actualy guilty pleasure (oh my gosh im so embarrassed to even admit this) but we started watching operacion repo one nigth and we LOVE it!! hahahahaa

Queenie Jeannie said...

Hmmm...for tv shows it's LOST, Survivor, and American Idol. My world totally stops for those shows and I'm not much of a tv watcher, lol!

Other than that......I'm an ebay freak - buying and selling. Gosh, I guess I'm not freaky, just boring, lol!!!

I love the Bach, and my husband has a thing for those dumb mtv vh1 shows too. We should try to get together with Jamie one of these Mondays and watch the Bachelor.
