Favorite Reality Television Shows

Guest post brought to you by Taylor Hartley

Reality Television is a bit addicting to me. There are a multitude of kinds of this sort of tv. Everything from dating shows featuring hot messes to shows about cleaning up messes, there's something for everyone. Although, i am a fan of some of the completely depraved, more often than not, scripted "reality dating shows", my favorite type of reality show is the type that is a little more genuine. I love reality shows that feature everyday people, with maybe a surprise thrown in to make their lives better. Examples of this type of show are ABC's "Wife Swap", A&E's Obsessed, and NBC's "Losing It With Jillian".

My favorite reality show has to be "Losing It With Jillian". I eagerly await each week to catch new episodes, on direct tb in Florida. In this show, Trainer, Jillian Michaels, of "Biggest Loser" fame, travels across country surprising unsuspecting families with her presence, and a stay in their homes for a week. During this week, she teaches overweight families how to exercise and eat properly. She not only deals with each family's health, she digs deep to find the underlying cause of their weight gain, and self-sabotage. This is major life change, and often the struggle is immense, and the results are truly rewarding.

In all, reality television is really fun and a great way to pass time if you're bored and there's nothing on. But, my favorite shows are the ones that truly push everyday people to triumph and become better. I always hope that some of the inspiration and insight will rub off on me.
