Reality TV. As we all know, anything but real. How is taking a group of people and putting them in an artificial environment with artificial rules and tasks ‘real’?
At the moment the tv is on in the background, and the Biggest Loser is on (don’t click that link if you’re an NZer currently watching – it has more than you need to see – in so many ways).
This show brings together a group of overwei lean-mass challenged individuals who want to regain their former glory. Or become anorexic/bulemic. Or perhaps both. It’s at this point in time I wish my ability to eat an inordinate amount of crap and not get fat was marketable to insecure women. But anyway – moving on. Matt lost 22 pounds in one week. Something easily achievable by anyone if they crossed this show with ‘The Inspector’ – the best Dining Out guide by far, in my book.
Speaking of which, I have watched the latter show on occasion, and found it quite entertaining, and educational. I now know not to eat kebabs.

Americans are the reason for all this. They love seeing themselves on tv and they love being nosy and this satisfies both those cravings! Pity we’re the ones who get all this crap 🙁
