I enjoy almost every show in TLC. There's these two shows about future brides where fashion experts and the brides' friends and family will help the bride in choosing her wedding dress (Say Yes to the Dress and Something New, Something Borrowed). I like the second show better where the bride has to decide between her mom's old wedding dress (which will be altered to give a modern look) and a new one from the shop. It's entertaining to watch the mother getting very emotional and pushing the bride to choose her old wedding gown. And the fun part, is when the bride is about to reveal to everyone what she chose to wear in her wedding. In my mind (or aloud), I'm rooting for the new gown and at the same time, I'm guessing what the bride chose. I always prefer the new dress because it's more wearable. Fun right? Lol. Instead of getting up and changing the channel, I'd rather watch those kind of shows. 😁
There are also cooking shows which I'm really fond of watching since I was a kid. There's this Asian guy who cooks Asian food (duh). It's very entertaining to watch because he's not cooking in a studio. He cooks in an island, or in a pepper plantation (it's very interesting to see pepper corns still attached to the plant) and there's when he's in a boat cooking squid which he just caught fresh from the seas of Vietnam.
Food shows like Taco Wars, United States of Bacon, and the like make me extremely hungry. Don't bother watching Food Surprise. It was awfully boring. There's also this new show called Food Fighters where home cook moms (or dads) go head to head with 5 professional chefs. If she beats all five, she'll win a hundred thousand dollars (about 4.5 million pesos!). Wow. Last night was the first episode and as I was watching, I was rooting for the home cook mom (Kourtney). Some of those professional chefs are arrogant especially the second one (what a bitch). But there's this one male chef; and when he was asked by the host who he thinks will win the round, he answered with "I have to side with me (saying it with a laugh), but (looks at Kourtney) I kinda hope it's you." The audience (including me) went "Awwww." That was really sweet of him. It was a great first episode, Kourtney took home the grand prize of $100,000! She was amazing and sweet. Can't wait for the next episode 😊
So earlier today, after eating breakfast, I switched on the TV to tune to my favorite channel. It's TLC btw. Heh. But the shows that were airing, I watched them twice already. It was really disappointing. So I forced myself to get up and search for another non-stop channel (yep. that's what I'll call it from now on, my non-stop channels), and that's when I found Animal Planet. Their showing a documentary about the Namib Desert in Africa. It was exceptionally beautiful. The succulent plants, the different species of termites, and there were seals, elephants, baboons, geckos and all sorts of animals living and surviving in extreme heat and humidity. Thanks to the super duper mega zoom cameras. You can really appreciate everything and they let you take a closer look on how they are living their lives in the desert. It was really fascinating.
