Unofficial Summer Shows

So this makes me sound like a big-time couch potato, but it's no secret. I like TV. I do. And during the summer, when all my usual TV stuff is gone (The Office, Modern Family, Jazz basketball, Once Upon A Time, Masterpiece Classics, Masterpiece Mystery ... there's kind of a lot), I'm left to find other junk to watch. And the summer options just aren't that great. Which means I have sunk to new lows in my summer shows. This is super embarrassing stuff, people. Super. Embarrassing.

The Bachelorette

Yeah. I watch The Bachelorette. It's really stupid. I know, it really really is. But here's the thing - it's also really entertaining. When you go in with super (and I really mean super) low expectations, it's really really entertaining. True story. I started watching The Bachelorette last summer with Emily. And this year I dragged Annlie, Megan, and Bree into it with me. And now we are all five of us hooked. Even though it's stupid. Because it is.

Oh well, it's all good. This season the bachelorette is Emily, who, ironically enough, was previously on The Bachelor. And, even more ironic, she won. Apparently things didn't work out with her and Brad, because here she is again. Anyways, it's down to the final two guys, Arie and Jef. And they were my two favorite guys from the beginning, so whatever happens next week in the Finale, I will be happy. And sad.

Love In The Wild

This is kinda like the dating version of Survivor. Also super entertaining and super stupid. They do little adventures and have little partners and form little relationships and crap. All very fun to watch. Emily and I started watching this one last summer too (last summer was a little extra boring).

This season isn't quite as entertaining as last season was, so that's a bummer. Unfortunately, I'm desperate enough for a show to watch that I still sit down every week to catch up. Really pathetic. My favorite couple this season is Ken and Janina. They're pretty cute. The other two couples are really meh.

Olympics

Good news is we can all be happy that the Olympics start in a couple weeks, and that's all good wholesome entertainment. I really can't wait. And I am going to watch every basketball game Team USA plays. Even though they have stupid Kobe, I will watch (admitedly, he is a good basketball player. But he's just so, yuck). And guess what! Gordon Hayward (yes!!!! He is my favorite!!!) and Derrick Favors were on the Select Team which means they got to play against Team USA in practices. Cool, right? Right. It is cool. And there's also gymnastics and swimming and all sorts of fun stuff! I really can't wait. Would that I could go to London and see the games in person. That would be pretty freaking fantastic.

So these are my un[OFFICIAL] summer shows. Lame. Just lame.
(with the exception of the Olympics, because they are NOT lame)

*Bucket List News*

Thanks to a nice down pour of rain tonight, I got to cross off an item on the Bucket List, "Sing "Singing in the Rain" with an umbrella in the rain." Yay! It was super awesome! I may have gotten drenched and my neighbor may have walked out in the middle of my performance (front yard - not a good idea), but it's all for the cause.
