"Things on TV that I hate"
I've been a reality TV watcher since back in the original days of "The Real World". Since that time I've acquired a love/hate relationship with these shows. For the most part I enjoy them, but there are always certain things about them that tick me off. And since I'm on the topic of stuff on TV that ticks me off, I'm also gonna include a few things non-reality based that irritate me(I promise not to stray off from the reality topic too far).

1. The "ticked off" jury member on Survivor. Sure I love to watch this squirm-inducing tounge lashing as much as the next person. Still, in the back of my mind i keep thinking, "Dude, you weren't good enough to win, get over it!".

2. The "seperated couple" on the Amazing Race. Tara and Wil were extremely entertaining and all, but what the hell were they thinking? If I had to choose someone to go on a long, stressful race for tons of money I'd choose someone that I actually liked.

3. The "wimpy dad" in sitcoms. I think Ray Ramono is funny. Still, why does he let that nagging, irritable harpy of wife of his dish out so much verbal abuse? I'm not a violence advocator, but I'd still laugh my ass off if he back-handed her one time.

4. The reality show contestant that whines about "missing his/her child". Ummm...look stupid, if you have a small child you should not go on a reality show that will take up a month or so of your life. Pretty soon the kid is calling your Grandma "mommy" and they'll be calling you by your first name when you come back.

5. The "crying contestant". I'm thinking of Amie from The Amazing Race, Cory from the Real World: San Francisco, and Katie from The Mole 2. Being sensitive is one thing, but this is what i call "trying to audition for a role in Steal Magnolias" kinda gals. They'll cry at anytime, for any reason.

6. Sitcoms that lightly poke fun at "life with kids". I'm thinking of "Yes, Dear", "The Trouble with Jim", and god help us all "Baby Bob". So, you have kids, huh? Isn't that amazing? You can procreate...whoopiee! My redneck neighbor, who has four teeth, has procreated...twice!

7. Annoying hosts. The Amazing Race's Phil Keoghan could probably be forgiven since he has very little to do. However, Jeff Probst? This guy sucks! Don't you just want to punch him in the teeth each time he forces contestants to do one of those "standing on a pole till your legs become stiff as hell and you fall on your ass after 19 hours and lose" challenges, and then has the nerve to dangle food in front of them while they do it?

8. When your local FOX network all of a sudden replaces "Simpsons" reruns with reruns of "Clueless".

9. The "dramatic pause". Phil does this everytime the second-to-last place contestants comes in. "Tara and Wil, your team #1. Blake and Paige, your team #2. Chris and Alex.................................................................................................your team #3". Like we were really sweating that one out!

10. Carrot Top in commercials. My God, someone do something about this!

The "ticked off" jury member on Survivor.

Too funny, bacon, and too true. Get over it already! I want to scream at these people "You suck, you didn't win, move on!!!" and, yes, I usually do.

Being sensitive is one thing, but this is what i call "trying to audition for a role in Steal Magnolias" kinda gals.

Ah ha, another key observation and oh so true. I don't like the crybabies either.

My own pet peeve: all these new sitcoms show kids being so disrespectful to their parents (as in Grounded for Life and others...) How fake is that? They'd be backhanded faster than you could say "back talk" in reality.

Hows this for a show....? The above scenario pitting Wil, Richard Hatch and Carrottop against each other while Team Cha Cha Cha sprays them with cheap cologne, the Grannies whack them with Goat head filled handbags, Momily tells them that their mothers are ashamed of them, and the Guidos attempt to dress them in matching outfits WITHOUT knocking them off their respective poles. For extra points you could let Chex devour meat pies in front of them, while Frangaria tosses those nasty raw squid on them (bonus points if one sticks for longer than 5 seconds). The last one standing wins an all expense paid vacation with Tara-ho to the local skank hut of their choice.

Did you read the tv guide article posted out here where it said Wil & Tara applied as platonic friends since they didn't file the paperwork on the marriage but the monk who performed it did? Do you wonder how the show would have played out if the producers
hadn't found out that "legally" they were married? In some ways a small detail and yet it could have changed things.
