So there'll be another Bachelorette, huh? It all feels a little too incestous for me somehow (and yes I know none of them are related.)

And I hate to admit it but my husband can't wait for the start of My Big, Fat Obnoxious Fiance. Without going into horrible details, there was some tension between him and my family prior to -- and after -- our nuptials. All is fine now -- they rarely speak so it's easy to be polite. Sometimes I wish it weren't that way but as my sister Colleen would say - whaddya gonna do?

I really wonder though: is there no limit to the number of people who are willing to marry the stranger they meet on a reality show? I'm starting to think there isn't. So these shows are just going to proliferate until all the potential people willing to humiliate themselves are used up. Oh the horror of it all.

I must confess something though. I found my self inexplicably drawn to The Simple Life on several occassions -- only for a few minutes at a time really. And while Kevin was flipping channels last night, he stopped on the TSL "reunion" show. There was a big deal at the end of the show about a surprise for the family. It turns out Paris and Nicole drive out in a big electric blue SUV. I think that family should have been given a million dollars -- nay TWO million dollars for putting up with the two of them for more than two hours. I think entire Altus community was robbed. Big time.
