reality television

I want to get something out on the table.....sometimes I watch reality t.v.

It started in 2003:
The Apprentice: I admit that I watched this for maybe 3 seasons. I don't know why.
Joe Millionaire: They tricked the girls into thinking he was rich, but he wasn't. But he was cute.
2005:
Dancing With the Stars: I watched the season with John O'Hurley. The finale was devastating and I have never trusted reality t.v. since.
2008 Current Season:
Hell's Kitchen: I don't know why...I don't. The guy is so mean. And that Matty guy (matty?) looks like he's always going to cry. I don't have a favorite but instead I am curious about how this whole thing is going to work out.

Now, if I were in a reality t.v. show I would create one similar to Billy Madison. I would want to re-do K-12 public school. In elementary school I was pretty smart, plus, I had a bunch of friends. Unfortunately, my brains and popularity had a slow decline starting in junior high. I wonder if I didn't do excellent because I was lazy or if it really was just too tough.
If anybody wants in on the show, send a 3-sentence essay describing why you would be a good cast member and why you deserve the prize. I'll let you know.

I think I deserve a chance to re-do elementary school for the following reasons:

1. The lenses popped out of my glasses AT LEAST once a week because I got hit in the head with a basketball/soccer ball/tether ball/four square ball/dodge ball. And I never saw it coming.

2. I never got to the end of the game in "Oregon Trail". I always died. I'm pretty sure I could make it happen now.

3. I never made it to the top of the rope in gym class. I'm pretty sure I still can't do it now, but it's worth another shot, right?

Obviously, grade school was a little rough the first time. I deserve a second chance, and I deserve the prize!!!

P.S. Don't disqualify me for writing eleven sentences instead of three. ;)

I deserve to redo this because I haven't finished it yet and it would be good to have a person to beat. I never socialized at all in junior high through junior year. I think I could make the teachers cry with my sarcastic edge.

I'll make your lunches so you don't have to eat school lunch.

I'll stick with survivor. I'd rather go camping for 39 days than go back to elementary. I'll be honest though. I would kick trash in tether ball, kick ball and softball but my skills in flipping around on the bars are not so hot. I never was very good at doing tricks on the bars.
