I feel dirty

I can't watch reality t.v. anymore. 

Well that's not completely true.   I have a show or two that I love to watch so let me rephrase that first statement:

I can't watch smutty reality t.v. anymore. 

It makes me feel dirty and ugly afterwards.  I can't even stomach Survivor anymore, with all the backstabbing and the like.  Don't get me wrong I love drama and reality t.v. is good at focusing on that, but some REALLY focus on it.  I've never watched an episode of Jersey Shore.  Just the premise turns me off.  MTV, VH1 and E! are the worst at this.  I don't watch the first two networks and I only watch Chelsea on E!.  That girl's funny.

Give me Amazing Race or Project Runway and we'll talk.  Those shows have drama, but it's not blown out of proportion nor is it exploited.  I can't even watch the entertainment news shows anymore.  95% of what they're reporting is about who's doing who, what new star is in rehab and sex, drugs and more sex.  It makes me want to puke.  Entertainment news to me is who's doing the next big movie or how that said movie was made and what the actor thought about the experience.  I can even stand knowing who's marrying or divorcing, but I don't need the details nor do I want them.  That's private.  I don't care if they are an A-Lister.

Now if you're a watcher of some of these smut shows, that's okay.  I'm not gonna look down on you for it.  However, I may have to leave the room if it comes on.
