Calling All Reality TV Lovers!
Whether you’re an unashamed- or maybe moderately ashamed- fanatic of Bachelor Nation, Kardashian groupie, or Love Island devotee, Reality TV is a very real reality in many of our leisure lifestyles.
Call it what you want, but Reality TV is arguably more addicting than juuling. Convince me otherwise. If you’re anything like me, you probably experience these six stages of binging your favorite flavor of Reality TV- be it Bachelor in Paradise, America’s Got Talent, or Real Housewives.
1Admission of guilt
First and foremost, just own up to it. SO WHAT if you follow Hannah B AND Tyler AND JPJ on Insta??? Embrace it.
2Loss of brain cells
It’s just inevitable. Accept the fact that you spent 4 hours of your day watching other people live their lives.
3Weird obsession
There’s nothing like catching yourself daydreaming at 2:36 p.m. on a Tuesday wondering how Stormi is just so ^%@* cute.
4Fandom initiation
Okay, so now you’re hooked. And likely so are most of your friends. You will now waste an hour fighting over whether Caelynn should’ve picked Dean or Connor (Fun fact: Connor and I are Linkedin pals teehee).
5Mindnumbing crisis
4 seasons and 3 episodes of Vanderpump Rules later and you need a break. So much TV can make your head hurt, it’s exhausting. I usually catch myself midwalk to the fridge when I admit it’s time for a break. It’s not you, it’s them.
6Crawling back
Who are you kidding? Real life is just way too boring. Back to the TV you go!
