Yep, I watched  ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ but my niece phoned me during my viewing time and informed  me that I HAD to watch that show about the young guy dating both older  and younger women. I forget the name. Anyway, it was the thrilling conclusion, and being an older  woman who dates younger men, I was rooting for the 48 year old. She was cool, she was bright, as far as I could tell and she was secure in herself. The 25 year old was boring.

She had no personality and said she was ’shy’. The hell she was. She wasn’t willing to engage because she was banking on her ‘looks’ getting her by with the clan. The mom wants grandchildren, that’s why he picked the young chick. Can you hear the disappointment in my post? Now, I’d not watched the episodes preceding the finale, so I am no expert…however, I am quite clear on what was  going on…they sucked me in.

Those bastards! Why did I care? Was I making bets? Nope. My kid filled me in and I instantly became emotionally involved. I’m middle aged. The odds of me marrying someone my age or older are very, very slim. Okay, the odds of ME getting married are akin to the odds of Paris Hilton speaking at MIT. Wait–nope.

So, where  was I? These reality shows, which are the bane of any writer’s existence get me involved for a few minutes and then I feel like a complete sap. I don’t even remember their names.  I don’t care. But, my niece brought up something: once the guy has made his choice, does the ‘loser’ get to remain in Australia for a bit of a holiday or is she booted out of the country with her mascara still running? THAT would suck.

I hope that the old gal gets  her day in the sun with someone who is cool. She seemed  like an all right lady. Has a great job and looks at least 8 years younger than she is…vibrant, funny…but then again…I also watched that ‘Rock of Love’ show. What do I know?
All those women are nuts. It’s a funny show. Sad, but funny…

And I keep getting sucked back in because my life is pretty sane…relatively speaking.

Would I ever appear on a reality show just to give my career a boost? Nope. Not unless I could be like the house mother on a show like ‘Rock of Love’ or ‘America’s Next Top Model’.

On the former, I would keep them in check and on the latter, I’d fatten them up.

I guess it wouldn’t be worth watching. Who am I kidding? I’D tune in to see what some crazy woman was gonna do next to those hapless dames.

That’s reality worth watching.
