Beautifully-Human

I’ve come to realize that I hardly ever watch television anymore. There’s just nothing good on. Even the television shows that I used to be so excited about just don’t do it for me these days. I think the fact that I am getting older definitely plays a part in my taste changing, but I think it’s also the fact that television shows these days are just not as good as they used to be. I’m sure that there are a lot of people out there that would disagree because there are so many popular shows right now, but most of these shows are just new versions of old shows.

Sometimes when I’m watching television I ‘feel like I’ve seen that before.’ And it’s probably because I have. Whenever something is popular they make 5 different versions of it and it just kills you! Just look at how many dating reality shows that are on television now. People will do anything for money. What’s next, a reality show about futures trading? That’s why I stick to my ‘old school’ DVDs. They don’t make shows like those anymore.

Um, Hey Tyra, what’s good with you and the black models this cycle of America’s Next Top Model? LOL. I just realized that out of the last 4 eliminations since the cycle started, 4 of the girls to be eliminated were black! If you watched last night then you know that they did a double elimination. One model (Hannah) was eliminated after being deemed the worst performer in a reward challenge. That wasn’t a panel elimination so I’m not counting her. Unfortunately Isis was also cut last night. It was probably her time though.

I really think that they used her to make some kind of statement or to attract interest in the show. There was no way that they would have ever picked a transsexual as the winner. CoverGirl’s not going for that! I’m also happy that Hannah got the boot. I couldn’t take much more of her small town views. She was just so ignorant. I really don’t care who wins this cycle as long as it’s Sheena. LOL. If she gets kicked off I’ll stop watching because I have no interest in the other girls.

I think it’s really cool how a company can come up with a slogan for their product that can help you remember the product even when you’re not thinking about it. I think sometimes companies come up with commercials and campaigns that are so funny that you forget what the product is and only remember the commercial. I can’t tell you how many times that has happened to me and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Sometimes I’ll be talking with my friends and I’ll mention a commercial that was so funny. We’ll go back and forth performing the whole commercial and then when we try to remember what product the commercial was for we draw a complete blank. LOL. That’s not good. If you’re smart you’ll create a campaign or slogan that makes the person remember your company. For instance, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten dressed up in a nice outfit and recited the phrase “Like my body? It’s Trimspa baby!!” LOL. That’s unforgettable!

Soooo, America’s Next Top Model is back, huh! OK, I know that but I just don’t care this time around. It’s so funny to me that the media has been making such a big deal about Top Model having a transsexual contestant but that doesn’t seem to be translating into interest for the viewers. Maybe everyone is like me and realizes that we can watch what we really want to watch on Wednesday nights and just catch  America’s Next Top Model the next day on Youtube. Whatever the case, ratings this season are the lowest they’ve been in years. Probably since Cycle 1.

I really think people are just tired of the show. I still find it pretty entertaining but these girls bore me. I haven’t really cared about the contestants at all in the last few seasons. Even though I was entertained with the drama and loved the photo shoots I didn’t really connect with any of the girls. I really think Tyra should end the series soon. I will probably miss it once it’s gone but to be honest I don’t really watch it now. If adding a transsexual can’t make people interested, what next? Hmmm many I’ll stick around and find out!
