          Same. Even though I catch myself falling for it sometimes.

          It sucks living in a country that lives off knee jerk reactions 😮‍💨

            I can’t be in the room when my wife watches “reality” TV because I point out every time they make it obviously staged.

            My favorite was when one show presented a couple who had just gotten together in person and the SAME WEEK someone “gets pregnant” and shows pregnancy tests. I pointed out there isn’t any possible way to know after one week, she started to argue about how “some people just know” then stopped because there was still a positive pregnancy test on screen in her hand.

            In quite a few shots you can see a clear, fresh line where a wedding ring would normally sit if they hadn’t taken it off for filming.

            My all time favorite is miraculously tucking and untucking shirts. They’re so obvious, but easy to miss.

      I so much prefer the UK version because he jokes around with people and talks to them like a normal person. On the US version it is all for drama and they are obsessed with people yelling and acting out.
