Shae's Guilty T.V. Pleasures

My guilty T.V. pleasures. That sounds dirty, doesn't it? I know. I giggled too. It's not what it sounds like though! I thought it'd be fun to write about what I've been watching while all the awesome nerd shows are on break! And well, honestly, sometimes when the nerd shows are on. Listen! We all have our guilty pleasures, right? Some of us just like a bit more…interesting show. 

By interesting I'm obligated to share that I really mean trashy drama's and random other shows. Also, I've gotten that cold/flu thing that's been going around, so I've had a lot of time to catch up on some of these shows. Also, how bad is this cold thing though? Week later and I am still coughing up a lung! Don't get this thing you guys!

But back to television. What am I watching right now!? Well, as I sit here writing this I'm watching a show on TLC called Extreme Cheapskates. Yes, Mattie is sitting with me and she is watching and the reactions are the most magical things I have ever seen, heard, and witnessed. Yes, this show is kind of gross, so I have to give her that. A lot of the people on this show go out of there way to save money in the most extreme ways possible. Like dumpster diving for food….furniture….an entire nursery worth of stuff….Mostly a lot of food. And, well, some more gross stuff. But! It's fun to watch, and mind of awesome since it lacks actual plot! Win for my sluggish brain!

My Strange Addiction (also on TLC….which is the same place Honey Boo Boo is on. Don't worry, I don't watch that one.) is another fun one. It's mostly the strange things people eat…like mattresses. Though, the one I caught earlier was about plastic surgery. It's a pretty decent show. I prefer Doomsday Preppers on Nat Geo. I. Love. That. Show. But! (Always a but) That show makes me paranoid and makes me want to start prepping for the Zombie Apocalypse. Oddly, all the reason's and things these people prep for are Zombie free. Which, come on! It's a show about paranoid people prepping for world ending disasters and nobody is preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse!? How does that even work man!? Bring on the Zombies! With all the brain parasites that are out there nowadays, the Zombie Apocalypse could theoretically happen at any moment. I'm just saying.

But when I'm not watching any of those I can be found in front of the TV watching the Real Housewives of Atlanta…or Beverly Hills. Or Vanderpump Rules! Or Courtney Loves Dallas. Yeah, okay, look, I'll watch almost any show that's on Bravo. It's pointless, fun, drama and I love every minute of it. 

I'm also a fan of Family Guy, but I'm not current on it. Cleveland Show, and all reruns of Futurama or The Simpsons are also great shows. But…my ultimate go-to-guilty pleasure has to be science stuff. Documentary on planets? Yes. A thousand times yes. How about anything about dinosaurs? Hours. I will be lost on this for hours. Now, it's not a well known fact, but I am a full blown science nerd. I love learning about new amazing discoveries made in science. Especially when it comes to Astronomy! Like the planet that is solid diamond! Pretty neat. Now, I don't see a lot of show's about the human psyche, but psychology is my number one love. I have my minor in it (actually, I have all but my internship for a B.S. done in it…) so I love anything brain related.

Anyway! Before that get's too ranty those are my guilty pleasures…that aren't entirely nerdy. I really enjoy and these shows when I'm not watching the great nerd ones. Feel free to judge me on it, Mattie does all the time.
