LOL!!!
Yes, I think fighting an alligator is 100% safer than risking those insane roads in India!
And really, I thought diving in Houston was bad?? HA! Houston traffic is a stroll through the candy store.
Reality shows? Yes, there are a LOT of them. I don't mind them so much except that most of them are stupid.
However some of them are engrossing.
Ice Road Truckers for instance. When I first stumbled upon that I thought "Oh no, another stupid show" and was going to change it then Lisa appeared. So I watched it and now I kind of like it. She's a bit of an inspiration to me. She's smaller than me but she still does all those things without complaining or cursing. The men all curse and are driven to be the alpha top dog and pull childish pranks on each other.
Like that kid with the sunglasses and the cigarette. I think his name is Gregg. He has an idiotic need to "sack" or pass up Ray on dangerous hills. Just like male dogs will mount other male dogs just to show who's boss.
I hope that idiot gets fired.
And I really hope that they don't intend to play that stupid "sack" game on those insane Indian roads.
The alligators? That's awful close to home. Like Louisiana is only a 30 minute drive away. (I lived there once upon a time. Crazy place it is..)
Closer to home, there's a canal that runs down the back yards of the people across the street.
During the summer I would be over visiting my friend and her boys would come running up several times a week "Momma, momma! There's an alligator out back!" and she would tell them "Well then stay away from it! Go play in the front yard for awhile till it goes back in the water.."
They are so common around here that we don't pay them much mind, the kids get more excited than we do. I don't think they hunt them here in Texas though. We usually never see them much bigger than about 6 foot. Thank goodness!
One of these days when her kids spot on I think I'm going to have them take me to see it, I want to take a picture of one. From a distance of course. I have a nice Canon that will let me do that.
Anyway, I also like American Pickers, Chasing Mummies and Pawn Stars.
I wish though that they would ditch the camera man on Chasing Mummies and get someone that can hold the camera still! Oh, and stick with the real history and stop dropping paid actresses into the show.
Seriously, I hope, sincerely hope that they don't start dropping reality shows into RTV like they did TV Land. I saw TV Land the other day when I was visiting a neighbor, she has cable and TV Land is not at all what it used to be.
TV is, for the most part, a wasteland. Pretty much any cable or satellite company hits you for like almost $100 a month and from what I've seen, there's about 10 cents of value there.
FTA is priced right for me.
Oh, and I still think Lisa will be the one IRT driver that completes the drive.
