It's like a train wreck. (updated)

I don't watch "reality" TV. I DON'T. The only reality show I watch is Intervention, and if you knew more about me and my family, you'd understand that Intervention is less about reality and more about therapy. But I digress.

Again, I don't watch reality TV... but right now I am watching a The Real Housewives of Orange County marathon. Here's why.

It all started in 2005 with Big Brother 6. A friend from art school was a housemate. I had to watch, right?

Meet Jennifer:

Then there was The Apprentice 5. A friend from college was eventually fired. I had to watch, right?

Meet Roxanne:

Then there was The Bachelor: Paris. A sorority sister was a bachelorette. I had to watch, right?

Meet Cortney:

Now a girl I knew in college is the new housewife in Orange County. I have to watch, right?

Meet Gretchen:

Of course, the answer to all these questions is, "No." I don't have to watch. But it's like a train wreck...

My favorite reality show is COPS. And NO I don't know anyone on it.

I love So You Think You Can Dance. It's so creative and helps me relax. I do connect with some of the contestants even though I don't really know them.:)

Always wondered what it would be like to actually KNOW someone on those shows...

I watch SYTYCD. It's one of my favorite shows. But I view it less "reality" and more performance. And whatever Tiffany- we all know COPS is where you met your husband. ;)

Don't forget that Roxanne Wilson who is also a Baylor Alum was on the Apprentice. I live in Plano and we also have Jed Hildebrand who was on Survivor: Thailand, Chris Valletta who was on the Apprentice, and Ashlee Nino who was Top 10 on So You Think You Can Dance. Went to high school with the first two and was on Dallas Desperados Dancers with Ashlee. :)

Cortney was so cute on The Bachelor, I tuned out on Gretchen after the first episode I'm afraid to say. Has it been good?
