Does It Really Matter Anymore

I've been watching television and noticed that almost all the shows that are left are reality based. By reality I mean sort of scripted, sort of clipped, edited until it is somewhat exciting. I have to admit I am a fan of some of these, or maybe it is because I can't help but wonder what these pseudo celebrities will do.

For instance, why is the Bachelor or it's spawn The Bachelorette still on? We all know that it NEVER works out. It NEVER works out. I think it only worked out once. And then these celebs go on to do other things, like the talk circuit or charity photo opportunities for People Magazine.

I just saw a clip and yes I was curious for the Bachelorette. One of the potential men stripped down and jumped into a pool. Why he stripped down in front of 19 other men and one woman is beyond me. I don't think that will give him a leg up, or maybe it will. But he may have forgotten about shrinkage caused by chlorinated cold pool water.

Anyway, I'm going to get back to reading. I am re-reading Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince because I'm taking my nephews and nieces to see the movie this summer. I don't want to be caught off-guard by any questions these little ones will have. I have to at least appear to be cool.
