Reality TV Jobs

As you've figured by now, I am a reality TV junkie. I don't waste my time with Survivor, Big Brother, crap like that. No sir...or ma'am...I love the shows showing crappier jobs than mine. So in keeping with the upcoming "Season of the Man" theme, I'm gonna review a few, and then offer a few more jobs I'd like to see shows on. My favorite is "Deadliest Catch". 4 to 10 men, on a fishing boat, on the Bering Sea, in the winter, for months at a time, what could be better? Well, porn of course, but action wise, absolutely nothing. These guys fight 30 feet waves, ice, bitchiness, the captain, each other, and whatever else comes their way, just so we can go to Red Lobster and enjoy an Admiral's Feast. Then you get the drama of these men iin close quarters, getting very little sleep, doing back breaking labor, living on energy drinks and cigarettes. Bitchiness ensues. The sacrifices they make are just out of this world, and even I wonder if the $20000-$60000 for a few months work is worth it. Next is the truckers who drive on the ice. I couldn't do it. You couldn't fit a pin in my ass it would be so puckered if I had this job. I have a healthy fear of drowning, and I'd rather be on a crab boat than in one of thos rigs any day. Then there is the show where they're roughnecks on an oil well. The most disturbing part of the show is the missing fingers. There isn't alot, but they are there...well, not there, but missing fingers are present...well, not present...you know what I mean. The bonus is that they get to work where it is warm. The non bonus is they get to work where it is scorching hot. But on their off time, they can go swimming, and hit on bikini clad girls. On the boat, they sleep. Then the logging show. Now if you are into people not having appendages, this is the show for you. They're missing fingers, forearms, parts of feet, you name it, its gone. And yet, they all handle the tools just fine. To get in the parking lot, they have the non handicap spots speciallly marked. Next is the Exterminator show. Friggin nasty. Not only do you have to deal with bugs, but these houses are absolutely filthy. And these poor bastards have to crawl around it, killing the armies of roach's and whatever else they find. Cops of course is my favorite. They have since come up with a S.W.A.T show. And a bunch of other show's about Police. I think that they show the extreme situations, but sort of gloss over the everyday dangers they face. Of the bunch of jobs mentioned, it may be the safest of the bunch. I like to play armchair TV mogul, so I have a few ideas that I'd like to see. Some may have been done, but I haven't seen them yet. So here are a few ideas that I have, some real, some whimsical. I'm waiting for the show that follows firefighters. Since 9-11, the fascination with this profession is still running high. I think that there is a fine balance between sense of duty, the will to help others, and adreneline junkie, and thats what makes these fine men. I think that cameramen would just get in the way, and the heat would make the prospect of portable cameras very hard to pull off. I'm sure if they wanted to bad enough, they'd figure it out. My next idea is following EMT's, just like they do cops. I think that it's very underappreciated just what they do. I live in the sticks, so the danger that these underpaid people go thru is less than one in Chicago does, but the danger is always there. Car accidents, gunshots, stabbings...and so much more, yet right in the middle of it. I think that the show would have everything, especially in the cities. Next I want to see the show Roadie. Each season, they can follow a different road crew for a different band. The band gets their name out there, and you KNOW that there will be plenty of entertainment to fill out a season. They could even follow a few bands at a time, to fill out the season. What small label, to mid major band wouldn't want this type of exposure. And with the obsession with becoming a star, why not allow cameras in for a casting agency, or perhaps an agent. The fledgling actors get the exposure by showing their talents to the agents, trying to get signed. The agency gets their name out, and their clients, because they're on tv, and we get to see the freaks and no talents that they do. Everybody wins. And finally, why not follow me around. I'm pretty boring, but I need the money. Have a superb day Mr 7000000
