Wild & Crazy TV Shows...

Where, oh where, shall I start this topic. I will call this blog: Wild & Crazy TV shows. Let's discuss a few of them.

First up. Call of The Wild Man aka Turtle Man--Live Action {insert his signature yodel here...}

This guy is so funny. He's just a backwoods, country, likeable fella that loves catching turtles. Well, not just turtles, but any type of critter you need to have captured.  The highlight of this show, is hearing his signature yodel he does after each capture and finding out what his payment will be for his services. This can range from a canned beans, jars of honey or an apple pie. LOL!!

Next up: WIPE OUT
This is a guilty pleasure. It's a game show competition where crazy adventurous people run through outrageous obstacle courses to win the title of Wipe Out champion and $50,000. These people are pummeled by giant rubber balls, smacked,  and tossed around like rag dolls.

I laugh at these guys & gals as they're going through the course, but there are times I just wince. Some of those falls and smacks look very painful. Plus, they add funny sounds in the background while it's happening and the commentators add in their wise cracks.

Last up: My Strange Addiction
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... They have found people with even stranger addictions. 
This show is like watching a train wreck. Once you start watching, it's hard to turn away. They had a guy who had a serious love affair going on with his--car?!?! He'd caress it, kiss on it, and say lovey-dovey things to it.   Then there was the chick who drank nail polish?!!? The girl who couldn't stop eating clear adhesive tape (yes, the stuff you use the wrap presents) She had stashes everywhere, and just tears off pieces and eats them like chewing gum. 

What's up with people eating dryer sheets, dry wall, and cat treats. How does one go about getting hooked on this stuff. I've used thousands of dryer sheets while doing laundry and not once did I ever say to  myself. "Mmm, I betcha this would taste good." or "Hmm, I think I'll have a nibble of drywall after lunch." or maybe "I have sudden craving for nail polish, let me go take a swig."

What about the young lady who LOVED the smell of mothballs. So much so, she had them crumbled on her carpet, like carpet freshener. She carried them in her purse, and sniffed them all throughout the day. She had them in her dresser drawers, in pillows, closets...EVERYWHERE! Her poor friends had to deal with that lovely odor.

OMG!! I think the worst was the lady who drinks her own urine?!?! UGH NASTY??? she said, sometimes it tastes like plum champagne?!?! and Mmm maybe a little lemony?!?! GAG! PUKE!! How in sam hill did she decide to start doing that 4 years ago!?!?!  

I love when they confess their addictions to their poor unsuspecting friends. The look on their faces is always priceless.

Do you have any strange addictions that you would like to confess?

Blessings!!

Reality TV...

There are so many Reality TV shows on now. Seems like everybody and their momma has signed up for one. I don't know if I could have cameras following me around 24/7. It'd seem weird to have strangers crowding into your personal space.

I don't know how many of you have actually watched any of the Real Housewives shows. Good gawd, some of them are just painful to watch. It's gotta be scripted, because who in Sam Hill would put all their personal business out there like that? I would guess that they're all getting paid nicely to do it.

Have you ever noticed how all of the "housewives" are ALWAYS in full-face-theater-makeup?!?! One episode that I recently watched showed one of them barefaced, preparing to have her makeup applied.  This one in particular has her own makeup line, so she is always caked up thick. 
Well, when the cameras showed her barefaced. I actually shrieked! If they hadn't said her name I would not have known it was her. She looked totally different without makeup.

And what's with all the fighting? My goodness! It seems like every time they all get together whether to eat, attend a party, event, etc. It always ends in a ruckus. All of them screaming at each other, crying, snotting all over the place, coming close to fist-fighting. But the makeup never runs, smears and the extra glossy shellac lip gloss still in place.

By now you're probably saying. If you dislike these shows so much, why are you watching them? LOL!! Well, as I stated before I love the show House Hunters on HGTV. I just love seeing homes being decorated. And though these women are at times lunatics. They have beautifully decorated homes. Yes, I watch just so I can see how they decorate!! :)

Blessings!!
