Soooo sleepy... and I feel bad that I haven't written anything in a few days. So I'm taking a lead from MSNBC and asking people to confess their guilty pleasures. Their Television guilty pleasures that is! (see article here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31896603/ns/entertainment-television/).
It's kind of amusing that two of the shows on the guilty pleasure list are two shows that I enjoy as well. "Say Yes to the Dress" and "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives".
For "Say Yes to the Dress", I actually TIVO each episode. As someone who got married on the lake here in Wakefield wearing a a wedding dress that cost about $100 from J. Crew, it FASCINATES me to see people looking at dresses that cost $8,000 and up. One girl bought her dream dress for $25,000. $25,000!! For a DRESS!! Now granted, the dress was gorgeous, but still. That's INSANE. And I love the drama within the wedding party, the whole search for the perfect gown, the crazy brides, basically the whole show.
My other guilty pleasure? Really, really bad SyFy movies. You know, movies like "Hellhounds" (see here: http://www.syfy.com/movies/originals/index.php?pageid=108) where the acting is SO BAD that it goes beyond laughable. Do I even need to write that I'll most certainly be watching "Malibu Shark Attack" (http://www.syfy.com/movies/originals/index.php?pageid=109) and routing for the shark?? I didn't think so!
I also love "Ghost Hunters" and "Ghost Hunters International". I'm not really someone who believes in the paranormal, but I find these shows utterly thrilling in that they try and debunk the idea that a place is haunted. They put up cameras and use a whole bunch of equipment that I don't understand to read heat signatures, EMF readings, and the such, so I really get caught up in the whole show. Never mind that I LOVE Grant - one of the lead investigators on the show! See his picture below, he's the dark haired guy on the left!
Anyone feel like fessing up to their own guilty pleasures? If so, feel free to add a comment!

I also love Ghost Hunters. I learned about them through my homeschool group (cause Grant's a Mormon). I now watch reruns on the internet. I even have Travis hooked on them.
Oh, and the dress show...yep...watched all of them with the On Demand thing on the cable. My dress came out of a JCPenney catolog...I didn't even try it on. Just ordered it and wore it. (o: I think it was $250 and I thought that was like a billion dollars!
I also love the Deadliest Catch.
Okay, I think I am the queen of trashy tv... Bachelorette, Intervention, Secret Lives of Women, Kendra, the Tori Spelling reality show, Real World, Southern Belles of Louisville, the Denise Richards reality show, Millionaire Matchmaker and all of The Real Housewives series. I DVR them all!!
Anything on the HGTV channel. I call it house porn. :p
