I’m hooked to Reality TV!
The launch of Australia’s Big Brother 08 last night and a few posts and comments I have seen around today have got me thinking about my own obsession with Reality shows. I don’t watch them all and what I do watch I don’t watch religiously, but I am guilty of watching shows like So You Think You Can Dance? Australian and American Idol, Big Brother, The Biggest Loser, Perfect Housewife, How Clean Is Your Home? and Supernanny.
The last three that I mentioned I enjoy because I get a few hints and tips from them and because mostly the people’s homes and children featured on the shows are in a worse state than mine and it makes me feel good (Sad but true!).
I enjoy watching The Biggest Loser to see the transforations of the contestants but I don’t agree with the way they are losing weight, surely it can’t be good for their bodies to do what they are doing!.
And I have a funny relationship with Big Brother. I find most of the people that enter the house to be extremely annoying. I cringe at the thought of watching 3 months of these people on the tv, but guess what?…… I will be watching! Mostly because I can’t help myself. It’s like a car accident, you don’t want to see but you just can’t take your eyes off it!

I thought I’d never watch a reality t.v. show. However, I sat down in the living room with my husband one evening, while he was watching Big Brother 9, and I was hooked! The season finale was on two nights ago, and looking back at what I’ve watched, I have learned something. There was a lot of using Jesus and religion for their benefit, rather than living a life for His glory. There was also a lot of back-stabbing and stuff that isn’t part of living a life for Christ. I will have to resist the temptation to watch another season’s worth.
We are big Reality buffs in this house, and I watch SuperNanny for the same reason you do. I always feel so much better about my own parenting skills by the end of that show, LOL!
And I’m the same with Big Brother, too. I find the people annoying and have nothing in common with them, but I can’t seem to turn the TV off!
I love “Biggest Loser”. We get the Australian version here on Thursday nights.
