Things I've Learned from Reality TV
Hulu put the entire Real Housewives franchise on its site. I never thought I'd enjoy it but I started watching and couldn't stop.
Along the way, I've learned a few things. I thought I'd pass them on to you to save you from having to watch all 40 billion episodes to learn them yourself!
"Glamping" is a word. Definition: Camping like a Real Housewife. Which involves red wine, real dishes, and a multimillion-dollar cabin in the mountains.
There is a difference between a white wine glass and a red wine glass. I did not know this because I'm not rich. But mostly, I didn't know this because I don't drink wine constantly like some people.
Many, many, many rich people are actually poor. In fact, more than a few of the people participating in the Real Housewives franchise rent houses they can't afford to qualify to be on the show. Some go bankrupt. Some even overspend so much, they end up in jail. It's "keeping up with the Joneses" on hyperdrive.
There is such a thing as edible diamonds. I am proud to say I did not know this.
Rich people have a different vocabulary than we do. "Cheers" is a verb. As in, "Let's cheers to being reality show douchebags."
The Real Hotwives of Orlando is HILARIOUS, but only after you've seen the shows it's parodying.
Do you have any reality TV guilty pleasures?
