30 Day TV Meme: Day 16
Feb. 23rd, 2013 05:30 pmDay 16 - Your guilty pleasure show
I'd probably go with The Game Show network's Baggage. Reason numero uno I didn't intend to watch was because Jerry Springer was hosting. I don't hate the man; I thought he was adorable on Dancing With the Stars. But his talk show is a disgrace and I stopped watching that crap ages ago. I knew this game show might be Jerry Springer show in game show fashion. The premise was ripe for tackiness. A woman or man is presented with three potential dates and has to chose one based on the baggage they present. There's three levels: smalles, medium, and largest piece of baggage. The baggage is something that, generally, you probably wouldn't find out about someone until months into a relationship. Like someone still sleeps in the same bed as their mother (that was actually on the show recently.) Then at the end the main contestant reveals their biggest baggage and the person they pick has to decide whether they still want to go out with that person.
It's cheesy and tacky, and I don't believe any kind of love match transpires between these people. But Jerry actually gets in a lot of funny lines and it can be interesting to see what kind of baggage people come up with. I feel even more guilty that I got my boyfriend to watch a few episodes of the show.
