No, I definitely live on my own now. But I got into watching this stuff as an editor at my university's paper the past 2years where I wrote entertainment reviews as well. And now I'm writing freelance reviews while working in DC on another job since my recent graduation. So at least I'm getting paid to watch this stuff.
P.S. I'd NEVER watch reality TV without my DVR though. I make 1hr shows go down to about 15minutes. And shows like AI down to about 3-4, where I just watch the last few minutes where the vote off and recap the night's events.
