I was reading my "Monitor Mix" blog today and noticed something strange. Instead of Brownstein talking about music, she was talking about reality television! She is an excellent NPR Blog resource (one of my links below under "Blogging" - The Soundtrack of My Dreams) for lyrics, genres, new stuff, and the occasional humorous comment about life in general, but today it was The Bachelor that caught my eye. She interviewed a producer, anonymously, and even thought it confirmed what I already knew, I was fasinated by it. You might be, as well. The most disturbing thing is that I enjoyed reading about the show. My roommate, Nilo, likes to watch the most recent one, London Calling, and I've been sucked in to watch (2) episodes at some point last month. It strikes me as odd that there are people who don't mind being watched on-camera seeking the love of their life. Yea. Right. Please make sure to note the comment by one of the interview answers that contestants are not on the show for purely innocent reasons. No kidding. I hate the paradox of reality telivision - the name itself is a lie.
