Day 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.

The sad thing about Jerry Springer is that he is actually a BRILLIANT man who had an excellent political career and honestly could have made a really good president. Seems a lifetime ago, but it's sad that he's only remembered for such a trashy show. Kind of brought it on himself, but still. *sigh*

That show sounds fascinating, though.

I'd heard a little about his political career and that he was revealed to be corrupt or something.

It can be kind of fascinating.

It wasn't that he was corrupt; he hired a prostitute. Which IMO should be legal and regulated (and taxed) anyway. I don't get why sex for pay is only legal so long as you film it. Stupid distinction.

Oh! I didn't know that, guess I'd heard wrong.

Oh, if that show aired here, I would probably be all over it. I have a weakness for that type of show too, if I come across them. I'm quite good at NOT starting them and then I accidently watch an episode and I'm trying to fit it in every week. Sometimes, one needs something a bit tacky!

True, tacky can be fun!:) Just leaving your brain at the door with a show like that ups the fun quotient.
