Guilty Pleasures

Admit it. You have them. We all do. I'm talking about guilty pleasures. I have plenty.

An ice cold brewski from time to time
Crossword puzzles
A nap on a Sunday afternoon
Ice cream
Buffalo wings
Reds baseball
Bengals football
And on a minor scale... Television.

Our family doesn't watch a lot of television. Most of it is garbage and we choose to pass on it. However, there are a few shows we really enjoy and I guess you'd call them guilty pleasures.

Duck Dynasty
The Deadliest Catch
Monk
And yes, Survivor.

Survivor has the potential to be a bit trashy. Bad language, women in bikinis (yes, I avert my eyes), men in their underwear and people stabbing each other in the back (figuratively). Not exactly wholesome television. But it's a fun show and we watch it with a bit of a discerning eye. It is possible to watch such a show and not let it adversely affect you. You just need to be careful.

This season is going to be interesting. In a game entitled Blood vs Water, players are competing against their loved ones. This is a first for Survivor. We just watched the first episode and it did not disappoint.

A guilty pleasure? Yeah, you can call it that.
