i think the underlying psychology under our addiction to reality tv show is: drumroll: that surely, someone else's life must be more interesting than mine. kinda sad, but it's the old "the grass is greener on the other side" wrapped in a flashy commercial package.

my newest show that i started watching: the restaurant. rocco is the perfect balance of ambition/drive and gentleness. there was a marathon on today that interrupted my studying time. it's always fun to watch someone follow their dreams too, and not have it TOO easy. ;)

it's funny tho, one time i watched a reality show where this medical student carried around a video camera, recording his own life. and i was riveted. even when he was simply studying alone late at night, I could just feel his desire to go to sleep yet he still had so much to do... what to do??
