(15,359 posts)them on sight. I could just guess who it most likely must be and they are two of my three guesses.
I've never watched a any of that so-called "reality tv". That with the exception of the first "Survivor" at a friends house and an early episode of "Joe Millionaire" with a woman I was dating briefly. The "Joe" story is funny. One show and I was able to guess the whole plot. It was so obvious what they were going to pull.
I was a dairy delivery guy at the time "Joe" was on and the school cooks at my old jr high were heavily into it and always talking about it. I went in there one day and told them what was going to happen. He reveals he's just a construction dude, the girl he picked shows what she's really all about and dumps him, then they fork over the million anyway to burn her! I knew it and that's exactly what they did.
Like most shows and people that are so easily predicted, there is a high level of stupidity involved to be entertained by or associate with them. I really don't do well with that.
I do know some highly intelligent successful people that just loved Sarah Palin though. It really does amaze me that they could ever have been impressed with her, at least after just a little time went by. I suspect a large number of them now know but just won't admit to being duped by her. Others, though pretty sharp most of the time, just have some serious holes in their intelligence. Then you have those that knew all along what she was worth but are flat out lying to us. They'll claim to love her, thinking it's working on part of the base so what the hell? We get that a lot.
