This week I watched Celebrity Apprentice and then of course read a bunch of stuff on the web about the two final contestants since I’m on deadline and procrastinating just the tiniest bit!  It’s fascinating to me to see how people really are.  But then I am reminded that any type of television is made to be entertaining and compelling.  So I’m not really sure how realistic it is.

It’s my first time watching the Apprentice and to be fair I only watched the last two episodes because of the cat-fight mud slinging that was going on.  It was horrifyingly delicious to watch those two women go out at it.  I was entranced and couldn’t wait to see more.  So regardless of whether it was “real” or not they totally sucked me in!

I guess its the voyeur in me that makes me watch these kind of shows.  I like seeing people as they.  I like seeing into other people’s lives and then trying to figure out why they act the way they do.  I am also an avid fan of CourtTV.  I like to see the cases they broadcast but I also like to go back and read everything I can on the people involved to try to figure out what choices they made that led them to the courthouse.

What about you?  Do you like to watch other people’s lives?
