Go to Post Given a choice between giving a man a fish and teaching him to fish, you always want to teach them to fish. But sometimes that involves showing him how to put the worm on the hook first. - dlavery [more]

Re: end of the hawaiin shirts?!?

See, this is my thing with the surprise genre of reality television.

Stuff like Big Brother, Survivor, Trading Spaces, and The Bachelor is fine with me (well, as fine as some of those shows can get--never was a dating show fan). The people sign up, and they know (more or less) what they're getting into.

But then we've got all of these new shows, such as Punk'd, Boiling Points, What Not to Wear (although I'm sure they've been shot down in the past), and the related genre where the contestants/stars/victims are picked without them knowing it. And you know, when you're surprised by something like that and not expecting it, you get really screwed up in the head.

I was going to get overly preachy (a la Heidi), but I'm going to hold off.
