Miss America!
Anyone else watching this???
I admit, I got suckered in to watching a few episodes of “Miss America, Reality Check” (what can I say… I like TLC!), so I decided to watch some of the pageant tonight. After all, I do have my own torrid past in the pageant world, but I will spare you all the details…
Anywho… they totally tried to “re-vamp” Miss America this year, mainly because of horrible ratings. They started out with all of the girls in cute shirts and jeans (which is so not Miss America-ish) and the swimsuits were very updated too.
It was all going well… until the dreaded talent portion. WHY, oh why do they have a talent portion??? I mean, really, is is necessary? So there it goes, the “modernized” Miss America down the tubes with off-key singing, really bad dancing, and even BATTON twirling. What is this… the 1960s? I mean, you could tell that most of these women just tried to learn a single song, dance, etc. just so they would have a “talent” to present. Why can’t they stick to talking about their platforms? I’d much rather watch their minds work than have to sit through a painful “talent” performance any day.
I don’t even think I am going to watch it until the end to see who wins.
I wonder what my talent would ever be if I were to go to Miss America… hmm… I can bake a mean cake, make funny voices, change a poo-filled diaper in any sized public restroom, and spout off random medical terms thanks to my hypochondriacism (you like how I just invented a word… don’t you) and medical transcribing, but somehow… I don’t think those talents quirks apply.
Back to TV and TLC… stay at home moms… get ready to watch this TLC show!!!
The Secret Life of Soccer Moms
Making it’s debut on TLC hopefully very soon! It’s all about stay at home moms who completely lost themselves in raising their kids (one of my biggest fears, personally). The show gives them the opportunity to explore what their lives would have been like (careers, etc.) if they hadn’t stayed at home. I will be watching this one for sure, even though I am quite enjoying being a soccer mom these days!
