The last couple of days, the laptop has gone with hubby and I have been computer-less.

That’s not a bad thing naturally, but just like someone addicted to nicotine, what I choose to fill the void with was a bad thing.

Once lunch was over, I got situated on the couch and turned on the television. Mostly there isn’t anything that I really find interesting on during the day time. I can only watch so much HGTV or Food TV before my brain explodes.

So what do you watch when you don’t want your brain to explode?

Reality tv of course!!

The Bravo Channel had a marathon on Tuesday of a show called “Shear Genius” and on Wednesday it was a marathon of another reality show based upon designing clothing.

So “Shear Genius” is a bunch of hairstylist competing to win mucho dinero and an apprenticeship with some big wig (hehehe - pun intended!).

Last night, a new episode of “Shear Genius” came on that I hadn’t seen, so I watched. The competition! AGH! The person who won the challenge the last time got to pick first from the “instruments of torture!”. No joke, they had 3 little tables set up with all sorts of things that would supposedly cut: kitchen shears, exacto knifes, switchblades, pruning sheers, and others. The most brave hairstylist in the world chose….

The Hedge Clippers.

And even braver…the actual living person who agreed to let her slaughter her long hair with the hedge clippers.

This is the end result:

Now, hedge clippers are next to the last thing I’d let someone use to cut my hair…the first being… fire! But the end result was actually a cute style. Bravo! (pun intended!) I can’t believe she pulled it off!

All these reality shows got me to thinking, if you could take any service industry and turn it in to a reality show (that hasn’t already been), what kind of reality show would you come up with?

Best Taxi Driver in New York? Waitresses competing to deliver the ultimate cup of hot coffee? Preschool teachers competing to really teach 3 year old the alphabet? Hmm…. Take a stab at it, and let me know. There will not be prizes award for most original idea, however, if Bravo picks it up, you can sue them and let me know how it works out.
