Just kidding. Actually I do have a dirty little secret to confess.
...
I've been watching a reality TV show. I know, I KNOW! Dirty, sinful, shameful! Especially given how much I rant about the stupidity of reality TV. However, in my defense, I think this is one of the more interesting shows. And the train wreck factor was just too much to ignore.
So what's the show? Rock of Love. Yes - the show where Bret Michaels of Poison is looking for the new love of his life. When I first saw the previews on VH1, I was all "NO WAY"! I'm not watching a bunch of trashy girls fawn all over some aging glam rocker. And I resisted for a good long time.
Until that one fateful Sunday afternoon.
I was at home and didn't feel like getting out of bed just yet. I was surfing the TV and nothing was on. So I decided to check the On Demand options and stumbled across VH1 and lo - this show was an option. So I decided to give it a shot just for shits and giggles. And wouldn't you know it, I got hooked. And I got Brian hooked. Shameful I know!!!
But I've been somewhat impressed. I've been cheering for fellow Chicagoan Jess the whole time and hating manipulative Lacey with full fury. And "getting to know" Bret has been a refreshing surprise. He really does seem like a decent and genuine guy who truly does want to find the right girl. He does like to party, but he also seems pretty down to earth and fairly intelligent. Nice to see that not all the celebs out there are total idiots.
So that's my confession. The next episode will be the series finale, and I'm a little sad to see it go. Oh, and the cd that's been on repeat in my car? Poison's Greatest Hits 1986-1996!!
