Reality tv

I rarely watch reality tv. I avoid anything with contestants & judges, especially if contestants are singing and/or dancing.
Really, just bring back Battle of the Network Stars—and I mean real tv stars. Hugh Laurie vs. Jason Lee, that’s what I’m talking about.


Anyway, the only reality shows that I really enjoy are Landscapers’ Challenge & Good Eats.
Landscapers’ Challenge: I’m just fascinated by this show. Something about turning a crappy yard into a mini oasis is very appealing to me. Makes me yearn for a yard—and about 5 grand to hire someone to make it into something beautiful.

Good Eats: This is my favorite on the Food Network. Host Alton Brown is like the Gil Grissom of the cooking world. I actually retain the knowledge from this show which is a first, because cooking never interested me. I’m usually impatient when it comes to cooking and I really don’t have a gift for it.

But this show actually sparks my interest in cooking, and I think it’s because of the history and scientific breakdown of what the food is and what happens to it while it’s cooking.
