Bridezilla

Gioconda has been watching a show called Bridezilla.  Although I find it repugnant, I've also been sucked in.  For me, that is the problem with reality programing, I tend to get absorbed.

Bridezilla follows difficult women just prior to their weddings, documenting the abuse they spew on their mates, family, friends and vendors.

The women are so horrible, I can't imagine it isn't staged, but I keep thinking... what if its not...?

I have dated my share of difficult women, as I have found in general, women who are not difficult tend to be uninteresting, yet the the women in this show are mean, hateful, white trash ugly hog women.  Even in my most desperate of days, I would not have touched any of them with a folk.

Granted life doesn't always work out exactly they way you may have imagined, yet to have a fist fight with your maid of honor, who happens to be a dwarf, minutes before you exchange vows,  is just something I never contemplated.  

I'm not sure what is more depressing, that Bridezilla's exist - or that there are enough people who are interested in their antics to merit a show...and that I am now one of those people.

Granted, weddings are stressful, yet when you find yourself threatening your intended with a 6 inch buck knife in a conflict over the color of the printing on reception napkins, it may be time to ditch the wedding plans and just obtain the inevitable restraining order.

One of the challenges I have found as a viewer with the Bridezilla show is most the women share physical characteristics. Unfortunate tattoos,  hair which should not be exposed to open flame, and a full figured frame, as a result all the shows just meld into one big Bridezilla...

I have gone three days without watching, and I know, its one day at a time, but I am committed to weaning myself from it...I just have to stay away from Dancing with the Stars...
