I have never thought of myself as unkind, yet if people were to describe me I doubt kind would come to the forefront of their brain either. Yet the older I get the more I treasure this virtue. So for the new year I have made goals to be more kind. One of them has been to limit my negative comments to 300 a year. That may seem like a ton, but that is less than one a day and for me it's a mighty goal I have ahead of me.
That being said two nights ago I watched The Bachelor, my very favorite and guiltiest pleasure. But oh was it excruciating. How can I watch this show and not say unkind things and Travis just laughed watching me struggle. And this is when I realized although called reality TV, this is not really reality. This is acting and since the characters are fictional, one can only hope, (was that waspish too?) I debated with Travis about whether negative comments directed towards the TV counted. What do you think?

I want to say it doesn't count for fully scripted TV but for reality TV it kinda does, I know its not REALity but I think it is based a lot on those girls being insane for real so...yeah...
we always justified it by saying that reality tv or not, they chose to put themselves out there for our viewing and commenting, so we must fulfill our end of the bargain.
Totally doesn't count I think that is fair game! The bachelor is my favorite guilty pleasure too. What did you think of the vampire girl and the girl that sung Brad a song.... painful to watch but so addicting!
In my house it is fair game... however, I think it has gotten out of hand. Especially when I see Bennett shake his fist and yell at the tv... all things he has learned from his father!
