Clare Henney: Kooky, Crazy, Addictive

12:00 PM | | Posted by Clare Henney

I am such a sucker for reality shows. I love watching them and “pretending” they are real.  I say pretend because I bet that these people get to edit things out that they don’t want the public to know and that these people are different without the cameras around — I mean, who wouldn’t have the natural tendency just to try to be, look or act better if you know the rest of the world is watching right?

Anyway, I don’t watch all the reality shows because some of them are a little boring for me but lately I have been watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians (and their spinoff shows) and Married to Rock.  I just find these shows really addictive. 

I like watching the Kardashians, I think they’re a bit of a crazy family but they seem to have a lot of love for each other.  I also like that this is a reality show where the leads are not your typical white, blonde girls.  After years of watching Paris Hilton trying the simple life and Jessica Simpson being a newlywed in their reality shows, it’s nice to watch this show about the Kardashian family for a change.

Another show that I can’t stop myself from watching is Married to Rock.  At first I found myself thinking that this would be a boring show about some rock bimbos but I was wrong.  Etty Farrell strikes me as someone smart.  AJ Celi seems to be a normal girl compared to the stereotypical rocker girlfriend.  Ditto with Susan, seems alright too.

Josie, on the other hand, does come off as a bit of the blonde bimbo stereotype but she does seem kind of sweet (who wouldn’t be if you’re obsessed with Hello Kitty?). 

I don’t know what it is about reality shows, but I really enjoy watching them.  I guess for the most part it’s just nice to know that celebrities have the same problems and things that they deal with that we ordinary folk do.  Yes, they can have more glamorous lives but they are just human like the rest of us.  I like that!
