Reality TV

So I'll just put this out there. I don't like reality TV. I just don't. But I know I've watched it from time to time. And then suddenly, I realized . . . I only watch it when there's Later-day Saints involved. Is that weird? And I don't even necessarily cheer lead for my fellow Saints, I loved Brooke White but there were a couple other girls I thought sang just as well, and even a little better than her.

So, I've just recently realized why I'm only drawn to a show if there's an LDS person involved, I'm always so curious about how they'll represent my religion and culture. And I have to say I love the Hinkins. I think she's so funny. And it's the kind of humor only quirky little Mormon girls might get. Things like "My husband's body is a turn on." Looks at him with a cheesy grin and possibly thinks, oh I shouldn't be talking about our sex life and then says "Or not." So now he's all (jokingly) offended and she tries to explain herself on national TV. It's so funny. And things like "Our sex life is wonderful." Look at each other "And private." It cracks me up. Seriously, go to ABC.com, meet the newlyweds and watch the "Meet the Hinkins" clip. It's so hilarious.

Other favorites are that their caption reads "Both virgins when married." Everyone else says things like, Met at a club, Dated 8 years, etc. That cracks me up. And the bug episode, I saw a preview for it and I knew, I just knew they'd do really well. Mormon girls may be prissy but we're also tough as nails. And Sarin was right in their with her hubby, scooping up cock roaches. Some of the other girls could hardly stay in the room. There was no way they were helping. I have to give the Southern couple some credit though, that girl was super brave too -- but it makes sense. Southern.

As usual, there are other couples I love just as much. The guy from England and his wife are a perfect match and the Iengs crack me up every time. The real bad news is, now I'm hooked (another reason I think I avoid reality TV. Once I watch an episode I'm in for the season . . . even after the Later-day Saints are gone).But can I just ask . . . how mentally brain dead do you have to be to watch the Bachelor or Bachelorette? Vomit in my mouth. I had to view the last half of the rose ceremony Monday night as I waited for Here Come the Newylweds. And YUCK! I knew right away who was gone, the two least attractive guys. Then she acts all bent out of shape that she can only keep 10 boyfriends instead of all 12. And then they showed clips from next weeks show and I seriously barfed in my mouth, ate it and barfed again (yes, like a cow). Sorry for those of you who love it. But it's kind of like people who eat pickles and mustard. I don't understand why you'ld put yourself through such mind numming pain. I think watching fruit flies mate would be more stimulated for my brain.

Peace out!

K, about your poll...I'm still trying to figure out why FOX isn't winning by a HUGE margin! Seriously people? :)

Heidi, it's simple. FOX = American Idol. Still, I'm surprised by the results as well.

I love the Hinkins' as well! And the Iengs do make me laugh also. But I really love the Mormon sense of humor that seems to be just for us LDS folk, so funny.

I saw a clip of that Newlywed show on The Soup, and I knew just by their awkwardness about their sex life...that they were marmins...awesome!
