This show has been upgraded from my “On My Radar” section to my “Current Favorites” section. This show is not at all what I thought it was—but I love it! It's more of a cross between "Designated Survivor," "Manifest," and "The Truman Show." Here's wh...

Reality TV
Guilty pleasures!
This is one of my all-time favorite guilty pleasures. It's quite an insight into how the ultra-rich live. This is the season 1 trailer and a lot has changed over the years, but even though the cast has changed, the glam life they live hasn't.
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills - Season 1 Trailer
I started watching the Salt Lake City version of Real Housewives out of curiosity. I was easily hooked. Beverly Hills will always be my favorite, but I enjoy checking in on the ladies of SLC, too.

This is a fun game show! I always like playing along and trying to fill in the blank.
America Says
I've enjoyed “The Chase” ever since the original show when contestants had to play against just ‘The Beast.’ I also like the newer shows that Sara Haines hosts where there are several ‘Chasers.’
