Guilty Pleasures

Ya Ya. I know. Reality TV sucks. But it's totally true that some of the shows are like car wrecks and I just can't help but look.

Generally I stick to the slightly more intelligent ones such as Amazing Race (where actual skill is involved in the winning process)....or the talent related ones like American Idol or Project Runway (again, where they have to possess some sort of skill to get ahead)...although anything that involves the public being able to vote usually makes me want to smash my head into a wall.

Last night I happened upon Age of Love. Somewhat like The Bachelor (which I've only ever seen a few times) but with a twist. A 30 year old man is given about a dozen women to "date". Half of them in their 40s, the other half in their 20s. "Does age matter?"

First, I need to say that if I look half as good as those 40+ year olds at their age then WOOOOHOOOO! Them cougars are hot!

I'm definitely intrigued by this dynamic and will have to keep my eye on it to see how it ends up. Right now, the cougars (er, I mean 40-somethings) are winning his heart as the 20-somethings (AKA: kittens...LOL) are all coming off as vain self-centered bimbos.... but I guess we shall see.

(On a related note: my fave reality TV guilty pleasure, Big Brother, starts next week!!)
