New Reality Show For You Addicts Out There

Last night Andy and I were watching this new reality show called America’s Toughest Jobs. Ok, I am hooked on reality television, but this one is different. They take people and put them on the toughest jobs and if they can survive then they go onto the next tough job and if the boss on that job decides they just weren’t cutting it then they get sent home. Last night was the first time this show aired and I just happen to stumble across it as I was channel surfing on my Direct TV guide and I am glad I did because I am now hooked. The first tough job these people had to do was crab fish. I don’t know if you ever saw the reality show called Deadliest Catch about crab fisherman, but Andy and I were addicted to this show for a while. It’s where you go crab fish up past Alaska in the Bering Sea in the freezing cold for hours on end. Plus it’s a death trap of a job because you could easily get killed. These innocent people who perceived themselves as tough had to go be crab fisher people and let me tell you if I was on this reality show I would have just said “Let’s save the competition and I will just quietly go home right now.” I am no quitter, but if you think I am going to stand on a boat in the middle of no where when its 10 degrees outside you have got to be kidding me. Andy of course agreed with me that there was no chance that I would have survived the first challenge. He thinks I can’t handle physical labor. It’s not that I couldn’t handle the physical labor part, it’s the part of being in the freezing cold all soaking wet on the verge of my death as this shabby fishing boat rocks up and down bringing in tons of sea water every time the nose of the boat slams back into the sea on the downturn of each wave. No thank you! This is from the girl who moved south to Phoenix to escape the Wisconsin cold winters. I will keep watching this reality show and see if I come across a tough job that I might actually do…but I don’t think next week is the week for me because according to next weeks preview it’s on Ice Road Truckers. Again, cold weather and I just don’t go together. If you are looking for another reality show addiction I would suggest this one is for you. It’s on Monday nights at 9pm and I think it was on ABC, or CBS…or maybe was it NBC. Who knows…that is what the Direct TV Guide is for!
