Most Guilty Pleasure

Last year, I was home over spring break, and found myself in front of the TV when nothing was on but The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll. And I watched it. When I went back to school, I downloaded the next episode, because I was a little bit curious to see where the competition went... but then I got sucked in! THEN I found a friend who also watched it, so the two of us got together every week to watch it. But I wouldn't discuss it with her in front of people, or name the show in front of people, because I was embarrassed. I would be like, "Hey, do you want to watch... that show later today?" or, "You wanna hang out and find something... to watch?" Which I suppose is sketchier than simply saying what it was.
It is a guilty pleasure because:

• I do not like the Pussycat Dolls, or appreciate their singing talent
• I think it is bizarre that a musical group has a so-called "creator," as if it were a new software or car... or something
• The show is predictable, and filled with so much... filler
• Cheesy Mark McGrath is the host
  
• I HATED the winner of last year's show... so I have little respect for the judges (including Lil Kim...)
  

And finally, I am most guilty because:

• I am now watching the second season, which is called... The Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious
• When they tell the unlucky girls who are voted off, "I am sorry... you will not be a member of Girlicious," I have to laugh. Because if I was a part of something called Girlicious, I would feel silly and ridiculous, and therefore relieved to be sent home

Anyway, it is fun because:

• The girls can dance (though not necessarily in a way I would want to myself), and some can sing
• And I like to see their progress
• I guess... I like to see the funny girly fights? ("I'm just a better singer than her!" "How can she say that about me??? How dare she! When I am so much more experienced!!!) It is amusing. And filler.
• They sing fun (pop) songs, from different decades...

I am not sure what it is that draws me to it every week. But I am still as ashamed as ever to admit that I watch it, and am currently downloading the most recent episode as I type this.


Hilarious? No? Note the creator's (Robin Antin's - the woman who is not Lil Kim) reactions. They do not seem... shall we say... deeply moved or real. IMO.
