I’d Rather Not Talk About It?

How come that as soon as a person hints at having something really bad in their baggage that they’d “rather not talk about”, that makes them 10 times more interesting? I don’t know if that’s just me or what, perhaps I’ve lived such a sheltered life that I can’t really complain, but as I was watching the “oh my god, I can’t believe this fairy tale” girls on “Joe Millionaire” I started noticing the woman who made the least ruckus. And then during one of their dinners she went on the defensive that she’d rather not talk about this and that and being totally different than everyone else and she very quickly moved up to my top spot for that show’s winner ’cause she was just so down to earth and unpretencious!… and after seeing some more episodes of it it’s looking pretty good for her 🙂

Another thing about “Joe Millionaire” I really like is the editing! I’m a pretty good observer and obviously the producer and editor was as well because it’s really nicely put together. But unfortunately it suffers from something alot of shows like this suffer from – extended and extensive amounts of replays. Like before a commercial break we see what will happen in the next segment and after the break we saw what happened in the previous one. It’s like they only have 30 minutes of material but an hour to fill. And that’s kind of annoying.

And I’ll end this with a slam-dunk, “not so bright”-metaphore – “He’s not extraneously intellectual“. LOL! If that’s not spinning, I don’t know what is. 🙂
