I caught a little bit of Perry's call when I was flipping channels and decided I could wait on watching the ep for a while. But it is kind of interesting - is this the first reality show of this type playing out in real time? (BB is real time, but they don't have much (any?) interaction with the outside. Idol is real time, but not this kind of fishbowl reality show.) It does seem to change the dynamic a lot WRT people's outside relationships.

Has anyone watched Last Restaurant Standing on BBCA? I'm watching it right now, and I'm liking it. I'm amazed that anyone ever goes into the restaurant business.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, lord -- this tool on the Millionaire Matchmaker show is Mike Boogie's business partner in Dolce, etc.
I may have hit rock bottom in my reality tv knowledge.

Thrive to spite them
I only realized after Big Brother All Stars that Will (Mike Boogie's controller) graduated the year ahead of me. I don't remember him but considering how small the school is I probably at least said hello to him once.
That means I'm only 1 degree away from Boogie and even that's too close for my comfort.

I ended up spending several hours on the couch this weekend watching a reality show new to me: "Jon and Kate plus 8"--it's a couple and their twins and sextuplets. Madness! And yet, we ended up watching like, four hours of it in a row. They just seemed very...normal. And real.

They just seemed very...normal. And real.
I can't watch that show because I feel like the couple bickers all the time! It's like having to watch my brother and SiL when they are irritated with each other on a tv show.

Heh. She's totally a dictator, but I empathize with it (and am a little impressed by it), and she does *admit* she's a bit crazy...:)

She's anal but she totally admits to it and with that many kids I'd be kind of schedule and germ crazy as well. But you do see them being nice to each other and it does seem that they love each other it just gets pushed to the side with all the kids.

I can't imagine how she could be any other way and keep everything running smoothly. I've only seen a couple of episodes though.

My new reality TV obsession is the Millionaire Matchmaker show. It makes me laugh so hard.
