WWJD

I know there are many reality show junkies out there. I am one myself. I have a few current obsessions but the one I look forward to the most is "The Bachelor." You might think it's because I'm a romantic. Or maybe to observe men and women's interactions with each other while in the pursuit of love. Well...you'd be wrong. I mean, I do enjoy the show (as horrible and overdone as it may be sometimes) and I do wish the best for the current bachelor, Jason. But my reasons for rushing to see the show are because I love one of the contestants on the show--Jillian.

Now, let me take a moment here to say that I am a very secure, heterosexual in a very happy relationship. So it's really more of that girly, "What's she wearing?," "Her hair's so cute," thing obsession.

I liked Jillian from the start. Sure her hot dog theory was a bit strange. I mean, grilling weiners in the kitchen so you can find out what condiments this guy likes...and that was the first night! But it worked. She stayed. And soon became one of the favorites.

So I watch to see what her hair looks like. I watch to see what outfit she chooses to wear on her last-minute, fancy dinner and private performance at the Disney Concert Hall and wonder if I can "create" this thrown-together look. I rewind and pause to see what kind of watch she's wearing. And I admit that I was a bit disappointe dot not see how she decorated her apartment on the hometown dates. But it's harmless fun!

My sister and I have even joked that in our little crazy obsession we could get those "WWJD" bracelets and it would be, "What Would Jillian Do," to help us through those tough decisions in our lives.

Have lunch at Shakey's? Jillian would so not do that.
Babysit her niece and nephew? Jillian would do that!
Get a cute scarf at Target? Jillian would do that!
Write a blog about your obsession with a reality-show chick? I think Jillian would disapprove.

So there's only a few more episodes left of the show. I guess this would be a good time to wean myself off of my little harmless obsession. I just hope Jillian, who's from Canada, stays on long enough for me to practice saying "abowwwt" the way they do in her hometown!
