It's astounding.
Reality TV is worse than the AIDS epidemic of the 80s.

My wife has stopped watching them around me. She knows I despise that garbage.

My wife loves it when I walk through when that noise is on because I can't help myself and make jokes about how awful it is.

That lasts about a minute then I'm out.

I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine anyone watching that crap. What could possibly be the draw?

Serialized storytelling, the defining characteristic of soap operas, has completely taken over dramatic TV. Pretty much everything is a soap opera or a reality TV show.

I know, I know... you're talking about those low budget nonsense daytime shows, but still.

Yup. Reality TV is the new soap opera.

Hard to tell, but a lot of women are really into it. As far as I can tell (just a guess) it's the romantic escape aspect of it, but who the hell knows? Whenever my wife would tune into that crap, I would come into my office and jump on-line. Talk about garbage TV.

I’ve asked the wife that very thing. She doesn’t know TBH. She says she just likes to shut her mind off and wind down.

I’m guilty of that some too. Nothing near as terrible as the bachelor but I’ve turned stuff on that didn’t ask too much of me as a viewer.

I think another aspect is how outrageously reeruned it is. Much like how otherwise reasonable individuals watch political shit.

I’ll be honest. I’ll judge a politics watcher before a bachelor watcher.

as a 12 year old kid it was fun watching people ****ing each other on MTV's The Real World then came the Osbournes

MTV ultimately ****ed us over with their programming.
