Reality shows

I am SO glad that Big Brother All-Stars is ending tomorrow (well, later tonight since it's after midnight). You have no idea how much time I wasted with that this summer. Remember when I announced that I was addicted to it? That was only a couple of weeks into it. It definitely got worse before it got better, but I am proud to admit that for the last month or so, I have been a whole lot less addicted to it. Every summer I get pulled into that crap and every summer as I watch it and try to find out what is going on in the live feeds, I endlessly complain about how horrible it is. Yet, why is it so addictive?

Having been a HUGE reality fan in the past, I'm finding myself not too interested in the upcoming reality debuts. I don't know what happened. My love of Survivor (which starts Thursday) has definitely waned during the last two years. I'll probably watch it but it isn't going to be can't-miss-TV for me. I might just watch the episodes on the Internet when I get a chance. Even The Amazing Race (which starts Sunday) has little appeal to me, although that show usually sucks me in anyway. I just don't know what my problem is. Dancing with the Stars? Meh. Celebrity Duets? Ick. American Idol? I barely watched that this year. Treasure Hunters? Hated it. America's Got Talent? It was horrible. The only show that I'm really enjoying now and am eager to watch each week is Project Runway. And this is the first season I have ever watched that. What is wrong with me? Is getting sick of reality TV a sign that I'm growing up?!!
