My life would make a good reality show for those that like to watch people doing stupid things. By that I mean not purposly doing something stupid like setting yourself on fire, but standing to close to someone with a lighter while spraying hairspray on your hair - that's how me and my friends can be someday.
ReplyDeleteNow let me have an OMG moment of how much I love that trailer! The music, the clips, it was awesome!

My life at this moment isn't made for great tv - not enough drama. A few years back, however...I was living and working in Singapore, went on a cruise in Australia/New Zealand with my parents and met my husband who worked on the ship...Add in a few great and fun friends with the prerequisite self-absorbed, dysfunctional crazies and it would have been a blockbuster!

ReplyDeleteMy life as a reality show? Haha. I think it would work well. I packed my bags in the middle of the night to escape a nasty situation and take my first flight to a place halfway across the world to see if my one-year relationship online with a wonderful man (to whom I'm now married) would last in the 'real world'.
Tee hee. And that's just the beginning of my story.
My life would make a good reality show because I have horrible luck in the dating world, so if people saw how horrible my luck was and the types of guys I seem to find it would make others realize how great there own life is LOL. Thanks for the chance!

my life would make an so so reality show because my husband and I have a silly sense of humor and people always laugh when they are around us...we don't hold much back.
ReplyDeleteMy life is about as interesting as watching paint dry but that's as interesting as some TV shows.
ReplyDeleteI can't comment on the trailer since I can't see it with my slow connection but with what other people have said, it must be good.
Um, I don't think my life would really make a good reality show. People would get too bored and quit watching. Hey, just stating the facts. That trailer was totally awesome, BTW!

Firstly just loved the trailer. That was one of my favourite songs growing up and I can even remember the video to it with Trevor Horn. It changes quite dramatically in the middle though, doesn't it. Giving a scary feeling to it.

my life would be a good reality tv show because fact is certainly stranger than fiction, and there are lots of really embarassing things constanstly in my life.
ReplyDeleteMy life would be a great reality show because it's not just me that has a fast paced life but my family too. I know someone who is married to someone 25 years older than them, I have a neurotic neighbor that might have a crush on my husband since she can't change her own light bulb. Both my parents are foreign and my in-laws are never on my side.
ReplyDeleteMy life would make a great tv reality show because I'm trapped in this magical land called my bedroom with a magical protal called a laptop and a magical instrument called an ipod. So amazing.

ReplyDeleteI'm not usually into mean/elite girl novels, but I must admit that the trailer got me interested. I also am always in the need to expand my reading material. Loved the trailer and well, it convinced me into looking into the book now didn't it?
My life would make a good reality show... or a good sitcom. I sometimes feel like I am living a weird sitcom. I live with people who don't speak my language, we share very different cultures, and I spend most of my time confused and out of the loop.

My life would be a great reality show as It would have to be shot in my home which somedays resembles a Zoo for humans.. There is never a dull moment. Anything goes..We have great fun most of the time, between the little kids, middle sized kids, and ADULT kids in my life, the dog, the cat, and any other cast of characters who stop by life is never DULL..
ReplyDeleteMy reality show would be a good one to record. That way people can play it right before they go to bed. It would bore them to sleep!

Currently, my life would NOT make a good Reality show! I work, Read, and take care of my little family! BORING!
ReplyDeleteBUT if I HAD to make a reality show, I would probably spice it up a bit and instigate more fights with my husband just to prove him wrong to the rest of the world. I would also THOROUGHLY enjoy bashing my loser brother and HIS family to the world and make all his loser friends realize what a jerk and a thief he is.

Well, I think it's about time we saw librarians on reality TV, so that's why my life would be a great TV show. You could watch me recommend books to teen readers and read and blog-so fun, right?:)

My life would make a good reality TV show because I talk and read a lot so I can prolly do a pretty good commentary, and because I am fated to have the most bizarre experiences ever (e.g., I tore my knee ligament while in the mall once and I had to sort of crawl on the aisles because I COULDN'T WALK; I once saw an albino rat on the way home; and I also once boarded a train and it just stopped without notice and then smoke was filling the cabin and people were panicking and thinking of bombs and...you get my drift. I get those experiences all the time).
ReplyDeleteI can also deliver on the Life Lessons: don't be a tool, save your money, and that sort. Parentals would love that! Ahaha.
I do hope I'm not too late though.
