so i do watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians. i don't always know why. obviously, tv is an escape and watching someone else's family deal with all their drama can make me feel better about myself and all the crap i deal with regularly. but sometimes the sheer stupidity does bug the crap out of me. i know lots of people think that it is all fake and scripted, and sometimes i hope for their sake that it is because they occasionally make the worst decisions and biggest mistakes. i can't comprehend it sometimes.
there are lots of random things that they do that bug me and make me glad i'm not related to them. the fact they they often drive without wearing seat-belts really bothers me. the way they shorten words unnecessarily or say "bible" to let the other person know that they aren't lying is so annoying. and then the way they treat eachother: playing pranks on each other or "teaching someone a lesson," makes me really glad they aren't family. plus they have terrible communication skills and often can't have an affective heart-to-heart with each other without yelling and saying horrible things first. but when they make terrible, life-ruining mistakes i really wanna smack them around for awhile.
so i just saw an episode with Kris and Bruce having lots of drama in their relationship. weeks prior Kris had run into her ex boyfriend and he really wanted to meet up with her to talk and she decided not to because she didn't want to hurt Bruce. In this episode, Bruce runs into the ex-supermodel Angie Everheart at a golf course and they decide to play a round of golf together. this turns into a regular game because Bruce is enjoying the company of a woman that doesn't constantly nag him and yell at him like his wife does. so Kris decides to follow him one time with Kim and sees him flirting a little with Angie as they play golf. She gets all upset and plans a meeting with her ex. at the end of the episode you see the beginning of her dinner with her ex where they are drinking wine and he is whispering in her ear about how much he has missed her over the years.
how big of an idiot do you have to be to not see that dinner and drinks with an ex is much worse and could lead to way more terrible mistakes than playing golf with an attractive friend? you can't even get that intimate when playing golf but drinks and sitting side-by-side with an ex as he whispers in your ear can lead to bad things really fast. and if you go down that road of "well if he's gonna do tha,t then i'm gonna do this," before you know it you have convinced yourself that he is cheating so then you cheat on him when all he is doing is playing golf and giggling with some nice attractive person. i understand being hurt. i wouldn't want my husband playing golf everyday with an ex-supermodel. but i would just ask him to put himself in my shoes and try and limit the friendly games to once a month. i wouldn't have dinner with an ex behind his back. i can't imagine this not blowing up in her face. she is such a drama queen and man is she gonna get some drama this time.
i do occasionally worry about younger girls watching the show and looking up to them. they don't have careers that anyone can have. they basically are paid to just show up and they have businesses thanks to the family money they were born with. only one of them is in a healthy marriage, Khloe, and she isn't exactly the poster child of healthy communication either. i know the drama they create makes for "good television" because watching a healthy family communicate and spend time with each other would be too uneventful to put on tv. but shouldn't there be more examples on tv of healthy, happy, mature adults leading lives that you would want your kids to have so that you are glad they are looking up to them? the most important role models are a person's parents, but shouldn't tv help a little bit instead of always showing what not to do? i know this has all been said before, but man did that last episode annoy me. i had to take a break half way thru to get away from all the bitching. ugh.
and yes, i will keep watching. damn kardashians.
