The shows I love are Dancing With the Stars, American Idol, Top Chef, Next Food Network Star, Project Runway, and I even usually get hooked on the Bachelor. What I find with all of these types of shows is a 'study in personality,' which seems to serve me well as a writer. <br /><br />It's entertainment and sometimes it feels good to escape reality and just enjoy.Linda Pendletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333787752335329007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-54575164520615493932011-05-03T17:27:32.897-07:002011-05-03T17:27:32.897-07:00I adore bethanny and her show, her collection of l...I adore bethanny and her show, her collection of lovable friends and her life....she is an inspiration that hard work and faith in oneself pays off and in her case, i believe it must have...didn't read what happens next week but after reading this, she must have made the big bucks on her skinny girl. makes me thrilled for her. xoxoL'Adelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725322054223364858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-69281262180400093132011-05-03T16:57:01.386-07:002011-05-03T16:57:01.386-07:00I'm not familiar with the show and until recen...I'm not familiar with the show and until recently I would have said that I don't watch reality shows but I've been caught up in Sister Wives, lately. I have no idea why but I do enjoy it. Probably because I can't imagine living as they do. There's a show for just about everything out there, these days.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-54207971145246331552011-05-03T16:01:11.458-07:002011-05-03T16:01:11.458-07:00I'm kinda obsessed with her show.

She's changed so much from that first year of Houswives - much more likeable, easier going. Her husband is very good for her. Maybe I can relate - mine is good for me for the same reasons...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-51477262427770838402011-05-03T14:04:16.410-07:002011-05-03T14:04:16.410-07:00I remember seeing her on Martha Stewart's appr...I remember seeing her on Martha Stewart's apprentice back in the day, and she was compelling to watch.

I lose interest after a while, but this one has held my attention for two seasons already. :-)<br /><br />Brian - I gave up on American Idol a few years ago when I realized a religious group was keeping one contestent long after when they should have been voted off. I guess we have to face the fact it isn't REAL, but maybe just better than watching endless cops and murder - usually of women.<br /><br />Jen - Yes, she is a bit neurotic, but she knows it and fights it - sometimes.<br /><br />maggie's - Only 100 calories per 4 oz. <br /><br />DJan - She's worked hard but has had a streak of luck that she seems to be very grateful for. I like that.<br /><br />Here - I agree!<br /><br />Gypsy - You and my husband agree on this one. :-)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-25065182066438020782011-05-03T13:21:48.740-07:002011-05-03T13:21:48.740-07:00oh, dear dear nancy - no - no - i do not do realit...oh, dear dear nancy - no - no - i do not do reality shows - but to each her own, i say - however, i do always love hearing of any woman [well, we are ALL strong] making life the way she wants it!! good for her!

I tried to watch Dancing With the Stars a few times, but even that was too hard for me to follow, so I didn't get very far. But her story is too good not to know about!
