all of the MTV reality shows

I swear, it's not the kid from Oklahoma.

Average Joe 2: hawaii

The finale is tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Tune in 30 minutes earlier for a super-sized episode)

ha ha ha ha ha......trust me, it's a million times funnier if you actually knew the girl.

I'm pleased to see that someone else is enjoying this show. I was really pulling for David, Thomas, and Tony but now I will settle for her just picking any "Average Joe".

Aside from Average Joe, my guilty pleasures include Talk of the Town and pretty much any other dating reality show.

Average Joe 2 ...Now that she's voted off David Daskal and Tony, I want Bawston Brian to be chosen.

Passions...although, I don't feel too guilty about it. I used to be obsessed with it when I was in high school and set my VCR every day to tape it.

And basically any other bad dating shows. They all disgust me, but I watch them anyway.

American Idol. I'm sorry.

The Littlest Groom... holy crap, can you sink to a lower level? Maybe they'll start dwarf tossing to see who gets the date... But yet I am glued to that sucker. It makes us guys look like total pigs... here they are setting this little person up with some nice and relatively attractive little women (is that even PC?) and then bam! here come the hotties... and he's all up in there like a rock star. Not that you can blame him... but my god... have some self respect and do the right thing.

Speaking of little people, we were watching this show on Friday night. I don't know the name but it involved a team of little people in a relay race against an angry camel. It was a photo finish and the camel won. Anyone know the name of this show?

Average Joe 2- Bawston Brian also gets my vote.
The Bachelorette
Professional Wrestling (mainly the NWA-TNA show that comes on saturday mornings, on occassion)

That show is called Man vs Beast. I think there was another installment a few months back with a guy racing a horse and midgets facing off against an elephant to see who could pull a truck or something. Only on fox...

Thanks

MTV is my biggest TV guilty pleasure. The Real World, Newlyweds, Cribs, Rich Girls, the one about Urban Legends, Snoop Dogg's show, Punk'd, Room Raiders, Jackass - I've been known to watch all of that shit. Hell, I even watch TRL sometimes.

Lots of past shows on MTV have been guilty pleasures, too - Singled Out, that Karaoke show, Daria, Tom Green, and tons more that I can't remember. But the all-time biggest MTV guilty pleasure was UNDRESSED. I loved that show.

Wrestling was my guilty pleasure for about 14 years, but I guess I'm proud to say that I kicked the habit. I still check in occasionally, but I don't remember the last time I watch a whole show. Some of us went down to the fairgrounds last month to see TNA though, because Johnny Fairplay of Survivor Pearl Islands fame was making an appearance.

I really do try to make a conscious effort to stay away from reality tv since I think it gives my favorite form of entertainment a horrible name, but there are some that I can't escape. The only bad reality show that I sometimes watch is My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance. It's interesting. I've also, as my avatar can attest, found myself watching Americal Idol since Tuesdays are now a tv wasteland (Buffy would be disappointed in me).

I have minimal guilt about my love of TLC programming. What Not To Wear, Trading Spaces/Family, Clean Sweep, While You Were out, For Better or For Worse, I love them. It's kinda comforting to know that I can turn TLC on at anytime and find something to have on in the background. In the same vein, I've been watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

I have absolutely no guilt about my love for The Real World and Road Rules. I've never been into soap operas, so these shows fulfill that void in my life. I've loved them for almost seven years and the challenges have become recquired viewing for me (tonight is The Inferno and boy am I excited!). And yes, I even had a Fantasy Team for the Battle of the Sexes.

Mine are Law and Order:Criminal Intent, and Tru calling

I LOVE this show! tonight is also the finale for it as well. Hopefully fox won't pull another "Joe Millionaire" stunt and set the actual finale a week back, while the advertised "finale" turns out to be a recap.

My other guilty pleasure is Smallville.

Zach!

I only watched the premiere episode (which was laughable) and since it comes on against Friends, I've forgotten to watch it ever since. Eliza Dushku can do so much better and, well, so can Zach.

i'll watch tru calling if csi is a rerun, just so i can catch 90 seconds or so of zach screentime. but, man, that show sucks.

everything that mtv airs i've been known to watch at some point or another.

and i've been known to watch a few episodes of that celebrities uncensored show on e!. i don't care what anyone says, that show is most definitely the biggest piece of trash ever to grace a tv screen. sometimes i feel bad for tuning in, but then they go and show some sweet leo dicaprio coming-out-of-the-club footage! sweet!

especially when they showed like 6 shows back to back...my best friend and I would always get sucked in and couldn't go to sleep because one more episode would come on and then another...


Ave. Joe 2-my mom and I watch that together every week. I am so glad she got rid of Michael. I think Larissa is sooooooo hot! She is so sweet, too which totally adds to the appeal. At least she acts sweet on tv. but this is REALITY TV so it MUST be true!!! I was pulling for David (he reminds me of someone on this MB) I also thought Thomas slightly resembled Elvis Costello.

Oh and ANDREW IS THE FATHER OF CODY!

Smallville is NOT a guilty pleasure. It's a GOOD SHOW. Way better than that Lois an Clark bullshit from the '90s. *ahem* Coming from a childhood Superman fanatic...

I've tried to get into it. I wouldn't become to attached to it, though. The WB has a way of canceling their best shows when they are at the top of their game and doing better than a while in the ratings.

Back to Smallville, I don't know if I would consider it a guilty pleasure. From what I've seen, it seems competent enough. However, I can't get past how darn pretty Superman is. What in the world is his deal? Is he always wearing blush?

Ok I admit it I watch American Idol and I vote
I also watch a Baby Story lol
and sometimes I find myself staring at the CMT channel and I don't like country music
I watch just about anything on TV it's just insane.
I have also watched that my Big Fat Fiance show on Fox

But I have never watched the O.C. so I think that is were I draw the line lol

My thoughts:

Larissa is a skank.

David kinda looks like SuperElk. It's basically just the hair though.

Thomas was my favorite probably because he had glasses and was so nerdy and sweet. I don't see the Elvis thing though.

I don't know why, but I watched an episode of The OC to see what the big deal was. I thought I would be finding some guilty pleasure fun but what I found was just plain crap. I mean, man...it's pretty bad...I can usually suspend disbelief for the 25-year-olds playing high schoolers, but on this show it's just ridiculous. And the fact that they name drop so much 'hip' stuff while looking like supermodels...eh. Of course I saw the episode that had to do with comic books and I, of course, turned my nose up at the stereotypes.

I'm pretty sure I have homework to do right now...

Pretty much all I watch anymore is Lingo (which I dominate) and just about every NBA game that comes on TV, despite the fact that Bill Walton, Tom Tolbert, and Charles Barkley combined are about as smart as a chimp (and not one of those superchimps in the movies that can do math).

Spoiler for Average Joe 2: Larissa's big secret-- she's pregnant with Jim's baby!!

I saw a few minutes of that show and I just sat there thinking what is the big deal and then I saw a commercial for it the other day and I saw Peter Gallagher speaking spanish??? I was like what the crap? I don't wanna watch rich kids use ebonics in the hall ways before class and I don't wanna see Peter G. speaking spanglish at his dinner table....

WHAT?! That is most certainly NOT a guilty pleasure, man. Be proud!

(Edited by richarddawson at 9:18 pm on Feb. 24, 2004)

Don't knock Barkley, dude. I'm serious. He may not be the most well-spoken man on TV, but he is intelligent and his heart is in the right place. The NBA would be in alot better shape if guys like him were running things.

Which one is Jim? Is this true? Don't joke with me about Average Joe!

Jim is the one from arizona that she let go last night after seeing his blow-up doll. (which kind of looked like larissa)

I figured you wouldn't see the Elvis connection...I don't know why I do.

Tune in next week to find out!!

I thought it ended last night?

...Whereas Bill Walton is a goofy bastard. And he's harsh, on top of that. It may have been Craig T. Nelson who told me about Walton calling a player "the worst ever." Something like that.

Me, too. Ah yes, the cruel joke reality TV plays on us. They also said "an average joe reaches an all time low". They were referring to his submarine ride.

o.c. fans: the mom from the o.c. came into provence today [i work there]. i told her how much i love the show, because i really fucking love it and i cant wait for november 4th. she was awesome.

the provance on 21st or church street?
