I'm Never Going to Be on a Reality Show

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or email. Thanks for visiting!

Yes, there is an argument to be made that nothing in my life would qualify me to be a reality TV star, but I would argue the same about a lot of the annoying people I see in the ads for reality shows. But I digress.

The real reason I will never be on a reality show is that I like my marriage. I love my husband, and I would like to stay together with him. It seems to be that reality show = divorce. Newlyweds = divorce. That Carmen Electra show about her wedding planning = divorce. Hogan Knows Best = divorce. Jon & Kate + 8 = probable divorce.

So, as an early anniversary present to Mr. Pop Culture Curmudgeon (we celebrate our nuptuals on Aug. 8), I pledge never to be on a reality show.
