Another Guilty Pleasure....

In stark contrast to my previous blog entry about the reading deficit, I present to you my other guilty pleasures.
I love Beauty and the Geek. Yup. Reality TV at it's best (worst?). Dumber-than-dumb girls and tragically socially-inept guys all thrown together in a mansion. It's awful, it's mind-numbing, but I can't help but laugh hysterically at the things that come out of the mouths of those girls.
Example:
"I can't tell time. Seriously, the steps have been explained to me, but I just can't get it. I just stare at the clock."
Example:
"It's not that I'm dumb, I just don't know stuff."
Example:
"I'm not just beautiful, there's more to me than just a pretty face"
Not to mention the occupation titles some of the girls have. "Playboy model" "Daddy's girl"
And the guys...oh the guys.
One guy, when coming into a cat fight between two of the beauties said "I should have stepped in and stopped them from fighting...but I'm a coward, so I ran".
Then there's the guy who was described as a "Sweater-Vest Enthusiast". So endearing!
I could try to lessen my embarassment at enjoying this show by saying something that would help me save face, but what's the point? It's one of my shallow hours of tv a week. There aren't many, so why tip-toe around the semi-respectable shows when I can just cut right to the chase and delve into the worst there is?
