Favourite Reality TV Moments

I’ve been keeping this as a draft until I could hunt down online videos I could embed, but that’s too much work, and I’m trying to do some spring cleaning on the blog here even though it’s still Winter and still 2008. Regardless, here it is. If you want videos, you’ll have to search for them yourself.

I was talking to some coworkers this morning, and had never realized just how much I’ve watched over the years. Now, I’m not an aficionado. I have a few shows I’ll always watch, a few I’ll never watch, some that I either start or stop watching part way through a season, and some that I’ve skipped for multiple entire seasons in a row.

Here are some memorable moments I’ve seen over the years.

Fear Factor – Reality TV Stars (Fairplay razzing J&V / “The Fight”)
Trading Spouses – Crazy Christian Lady (“dark-sided!”)
Any Amazing Race stuff (Mosques = Starbucks, “They keep breeding and breeding”, naked diving, Colin: “My ox is broken” / “I hate you”, any Jonathan & Victoria, Brandon (in Amazing Race 5 in India): “Lord help her”, etc…)
Big Brother (Will winning BB2, Dan winning BB10, Nokomis backdooring Jase)
Apprentice – Trump fires four at once
Survivor – Ozzy blindsided in Fans vs. Favourites, Randy and the fake idol from latest season

Stuff I found funny, interesting, just plain disturbing, or for my own personal benefit.

Federal Leaders – Look How Far They’ve Come

Old video highlights of the current leaders of some of the political parties of today. Also get a load of the clip of Kim Campbell from 1957.

I wonder if, as she stood there next to that elephant, the thought of becoming the country’s first female Prime Minister ever crossed her mind… probably not.

Spamusement! Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines! Your Dog Will Love It!

Not sure if this hint still works or not. But back in the day, if someone said Macs suck, they were actually right.
