I've got a new passion for a subset of reality TV: professional competition shows. I guess it started with Engineer Wars, wherein 2 teams of 'geers would build rival gizmos (e.g. vehicles to knock down walls) and compete head to head. Next was America's Top Model, for which I have Babala to blame; these young girls compete for a modelling prize. The latter is a car wreck you can't stop watching- everybody involved in this show is surely going to Hell.
Now Lolochan has got me into America's Runway... forgot the exact name. Fashion designers get handed strange challenges, and spend a feverish day trying to draw up and finish a set of clothing under vicious circumstances. I don't give 2 wanks about fashion, but this show takes you right there, and shows you the difference between great, merely good, mediocre and downright
.
To live other careers vicariously: I'm a fan. Next I think I'll start watching Iron Chef. I may learn something.
