Gunn to Snooki

Good for you Tim Gunn! Over the weekend, my mom and I were waking through Barnes and Noble and she noticed a book that had the name Snooki on it and she asked me who Snooki was. I told her and she had the most disgusted face. It was priceless. Well, now Tim Gunn is chiming in saying that he will not allow Snooki to be one of the guests on Project Runway. Yes! Get those low lives off my TV! Snooki isn’t even a celebrity and if they had her on that show, I would never watch it again. I can’t believe Snooki even got a book deal because the people who watch her on TV more than likely can’t read. I’m pretty sure Snooki can’t read. Anyway, this news made me happy and I had to share.

Florida Shore

Season 2 of the Jersey Shore starts again tonight and it leaves me incredibly confused. The number one reason: I thought this show was going to be similar to the Real World where they would switch out cast members each season, but that's not the case. They are bringing the exact same cast back, but this time they're putting them in Florida instead of Jersey. And that brings me my second point of confusion: If the cast will now be in Florida, why is the show still called Jersey Shore? It's just weird to me. Did you know these kids get paid $30,000 per episode to be on this damn show? I wanna cause drama on a show and make a yearly salary in one hour. That's not fair.

KROQ had the cast on the radio this morning and they were talking about how they can't go anywhere without people hounding them. One of the guys, the one that calls himself "The Situation" said they have to close down malls when they want to go shopping. That's gross. He never did anything in his life, but have a 6 pack and sleep with chicks and now he's famous. That kind of makes him sound like a porn star... Either way, shows like this make me so sad. I worked hard to get to where I am and then Joe Schmo comes in and steps all over me just by being on a reality TV show.

I will admit I watched the first couple episodes of the show when it first started because people were going ape shit over it and I needed to know what was going on. The show never appealed to me though. Watching a bunch of spoiled, conceited kids try to get some ass is not interesting to me at all. I would rather watch a Twilight movie.

Revelation!

So I have decided that reality TV is worse than I thought. Not too long ago, I saw a commercial for the show Jersey Shore on MTV about these spoiled kids from Jersey who go to the Jersey Shore for the summer and go to clubs and have sex with everyone. Being the curious little mouse that I am, I decided to check it out on mtv.com just to get a taste of this show. MTV has really gone off the deep end. The show made me utterly sick. Yeah, it made me feel better about myself, but wow. There are really people out there like that? People around my age who represent me and my generation? It brings a tear to my eye. Pick up a book!

So after viewing that train wreck, I decided I need to broaden my horizons and venture away from MTV for a bit. I know, I know. It’s unheard of. I have started to watch the show Bones. I am a fan of Law and Order: SVU and CSI and what not so Bones seemed only appropriate to add to that list. It is an awesome show.

Turns out the show is loosely based on a book series by Kathy Reichs. There are about 10 books in this series. I went to Barnes and Noble and read the first few pages and it seemed like it could be interesting. So not only can I get my fill of non reality TV, but I can read! Take that Jersey Shore losers!
