Guilty Pleasures During A Pandemic
No one really wants to admit it, but reality TV is the ultimate guilty pleasure. For people with stressful jobs, and boring lives, these drama-filled, entertaining shows can be a great way to unwind and fall into a different world for 60 minutes. Reality TV is an opportunity to relax, unwind, and release all the pressures of your demanding day. Home improvement shows are the best. You watch the couple on television redesign their home while making mental notes of how you will duplicate each idea in your own home. No, you never really do, but by watching someone else do it, it makes it feel attainable. You go on this journey to the completion and because it all happens in less than an hour you believe it’s all easy and possible to replicate. Husbands beware, your wife will suddenly expect you tear down walls and build cabinets.
What about cooking shows? A little dash of this, and a splash of that and suddenly you have a 5 course meal that looks so good you can practically smell it through the television. Even better, are competition cooking shows where ordinary people showcase their skills and creativity. I mean, if they can do it, so can you, right? Just beware, these shows will make you hungry.
