Believe it or not, I do manage make a little time for the tv in between the work and the school. Sadly, none of what I watch is even remotely educational or good for the brain. It’s kind of embarrassing really, but I’m gonna tell it anyway. Because I like tv and I don’t care what you think. So here’s what I’ve been watching:

Monday nights: Gossip Girl
I never had even the smallest interest in this show—I even scoffed at friends’ suggestions to check it out. But somehow I ended up seeing the final two episodes of season one and I as intrigued. Well lo and behold, they’re replaying the whole season this summer, and I’ve been tuning in. I actually kind of hate the show because come on. Ridiculous. But it’s a loving kind of hatred. And also I really want to see how we get from where all the characters are now to where I saw them in the finale. Fill in the blanks!

Tuesday nights: A Shot at Love 2 with Tila Tequila
Yeah yeah, shut up. I watched the last half of the first time she “fell in love” so why not watch her do it again? In case you too are watching, here is my take on the final four:
Bo: I see how he’s trying really hard and all that, but he strikes me as the kind of guy who would try hard for anyone in that situation. I don’t think he has any strong feelings for Tila in particular, he just likes to be romantic. Please don’t pick Bo.
Jay: I will never understand what she sees in guys like this. He is one of the last people I would want to be near, let alone hang out with, let alone date! Please don’t pick Jay.
Brittany: She’s cute, but Brittany and Tila together remind me of two girls at a party who get drunk and think it’d be fun to hook up. They don’t really go together, but making out is fun. You can pick Brittany, but we all know it won’t last.
Kristy: I didn’t see it coming, but of the remaining four, I think Tila has the most chemistry with Kristy. It’s actually believable when they’re together. Maybe it’s not love, but they could date for awhile. Go ahead, pick Kristy.

Wednesday nights: Real World XX: Hollywood
But you already knew that… I will add though that Sarah has redeemed herself ever so slightly because she is the ONLY one who gave a damn about Joey when he came back from rehab.

After this month I will no longer have extended cable, so I’ll be saying goodbye to most of my tv watching. Hopefully we can wait until Tila and RW are done, then Gossip Girl will just have to get me through the summer.

Anything else I should be watching this summer?
