It was one of those nights last night where i couldn’t sleep despite my best efforts and to pass the time i turned on the tv despite the risks of the crap tv shows that are on in the early hours. I wasn’t disappointed with some religious guy talking about … well i changed the channel before i found out. But then i found the motherload of crap tv.
The tv show in question was called Shopping for Love and works like this. They are trying to set people up together and so they let two members of the opposite sex into the house of someone and they have five minutes to work out what they like. Then they go to a shopping centre and give each of them a credit card and 20 minutes to buy stuff for the person. Then the person that they are buying for goes through each lot of purchases and picks the person who bought the stuff they liked best. And they go on a date.
Did that make sense? I am not sure but then the show didn’t really make sense for me either as when it comes to dating i have always thought that i would prefer to connect with someone on a personality and interest kind of level, not superficial with who bought the best stuff for me without knowing me. Doesn’t sound like the start of a good relationship!

Suffered through that show too. And this is one of the better late night shows, which is really sad.
Had the misery of watching quizmania last night. They were looking for “types of edible fish” (schnapper was at the top & there were maybe 5 or 6 remaining) after tuna, salmon, barramundi and flathead all got the gong, I seriously wondered about the calibre of the audience polled…. The hostess had two more possible responses and I wondered if one might be “lobster” (yes, I know not a fish – but she kept saying she “wasn’t Einstein”). Aargh – rather watch reruns of the Brady Bunch!

Chicky – way sad. Whole new level of sad.
Meg – now your scaring me. One of the Better? Noooo. I do remember quizmania. When i last saw it there was an attractive redhead as host who never stopped speaking and her corset she was wearing was too loose, so while nothing intelligent was said, i did wonder if i was going to see more than i should ! It kept me awake a little longer to see if it did ….
