Because of my city life I am lacking a few things most peeps have: a car, a microwave, and a TV. It's a lifestyle choice, really. Having a car just didn't make sense since I can metro/walk/bus anywhere I need to go. My kitchen is tiny so there isn't a good spot to put a microwave and I like my food to be fresh anyway. A TV just seemed like an unnecessary expense, with cable and all, plus as long as it is not there I don't miss it. I work out, read, or blog at night and generally find other ways to spend my time. The few shows I watch I can see online and occasionally I go to a bar to watch a game or match.
When I stay in hotels I am always amazed at the stuff on TV. I make a game out of finding really trashy TV shows. For example, I recently discovered Hitched or Ditched. The TV show producers show up and surprise a couple by saying they will plan their dream wedding (they aren't engaged) but it has to be in a week. All the pre-wedding jitters and emotions have just a week to manifest themselves. At the end of the week the couple decide if they really do want to go through with the wedding or if they want to "ditch." Where do they come up with this stuff?
And then there was this show "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant" or something like that. Crazy! It chronicled girls who, well, didn't know they were pregnant until they started going into labor. There were all sorts of crazy stories and crazy logic on the show. Who comes up with this stuff?
What about you? What's your favorite trash TV?
