Miami Ink is about the only one in your line-up that we agree on, though I’ve been an ANTM fan since the first season, and will make no apologies for it. My fave is when they do the weekend-long marathons of it on VH1, so I can catch up with all of drama and catfights! I even got Lyss watching it after she got me watching Project Runway.

And since I’m a total foodie, I do love Bravo’s Top Chef, The Next Food Network Star and Food Network Challenge. When they do the massive cake decorating & sugar sculptures? I’m so hooked.

I LOVE “So you think you can Dance!”(So much better than our Sister’s Dance comps, right?) Anything Kathy Griffin (What an asshole that guy who won her auction to live with her for a weekend and acted bored) “The 4400″(better not erase the little girl) I can’t wait till Heros and Banshee when they come on. I am so loving “Rescue me,” and “Hex” too. Of course anything Anime. Now you know what My DVR records for me.

Wishing you many Blessings,
Mark

First of all, “Kath & Kim” is not a reality show.

I’m not sure if my contributions count as “Reality” either, but they do feature real people:

I can’t stop watching “HONEY, WE’RE KILLING THE KIDS!” on TLC. How could I not watch, with that title?!? It’s so overdramatic and the hostess/doctoress is such a Cassandra… I love how the “projections” of the kids at forty show them bald, fat, glasses-wearing and crooked-toothed, then in the revised projections (assuming the kids follow a healthy eating plan) suddenly the kids have full heads of hair, are slim, have perfect 20/20 vision (or contacts?), and have shiny white straight teeth.

Also, even though the gay host is annoying (I’m SO self-loathing!) I can’t really stop watching “Ten Years Younger”, which I think is also on TLC.

I guess these interests point to the fact that I’m terrified of how I’m going to look at forty, and I would give my right arm to look ten years younger.

I really enjoy So You Think You Can Dance but only for the dancing. The other night was the first time I’d ever voted on a reality show.

I don’t know what it is but Project Runway grabbed me too. I also love the 4400 but I think my favorite show right now is Rescue Me. Even though Dennis Leary is a jackass I think it’s a great show, pushes a lot of buttons and there are HOT firemen. And I don’t know if you get the Sundance channel or not but there is this offbeat Australian comedy called Kath & Kim. It’s about a mother and daughter sort of along the lines of AbFab but much more common and bitchy.

Project Runway 3 is starting soon!

I can’t wait.

I am not invested in too many of these so-called reality programs either. I was at the start, but they have worn on me, and worn me out.

But Kathy & Project Runway will always have a ready place in my heart.
