Speaking of reality TV ...

I’m totally bereft now that my dream show, “The Biggest Loser,“ is off the air. Until the next one pops up, anyway. I mean, what could be better than having your own personal trainer, weekly weigh-ins, regulated food and a team of folks watching you eat it (so you’d better be good) for months on end?

*Sigh.* Most reality shows wear on me by the second week. “TBL” keeps me watching, though. My only real complaint concerns those ridiculously long pauses ALL reality shows think they have to inject every time somebody is kicked off the island or away from the fridge. Oh, and the stupid scale on “TBL” that shows a ton of random numbers before blowing you away with the news that Goofy Blond Boy lost 16 POUNDS IN ONE WEEK.

Wait, did I say “reality” TV?

At any rate, Melissa and I are planning to write about the best and the worst of reality TV for the Sunday Flair section in a couple of weeks. Watch for it—or if you’d like to weigh in (ha! “Biggest Loser” humor!) in advance, drop us a comment.
