I know it lowers my IQ, but I watch it anyway.

It's time I came out and admitted - I watch Big Brother. I have no rational explanation about why I watch it and yet I find myself watching it each and every evening. It could be that the only other options are "Home and Away" or "Two and a half men". But even when there is something else on, I have this strange urge to watch Big Brother instead.

This isn't really a problem when I'm enjoying it in the privacy of my own home, because no one can see that I am doing it. But when I'm out socialising with others (which isn't all that often), I go and lower people's high opinion of me by wanting to discuss the offending show! I am fully aware that this show is lowering my IQ every minute I watch it - but it's my way of relaxing so I'll keep doing it.

What's your secret tv show?

I'm yet to come out .... it's been a really hard thing to deal with, the whole addiction is pretty serious. WHATEVER ... I need my daily dose of crap and as far as lowing my IQ ... mine dropped the day I became a mother and continues to drop every year I don't return to work. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mother but my brain definately isn't getting the same work out it used too or maybe it's just using different parts. Anyway I love Big Brother but haven't told anyone. Some nights I try to get Nathan to watch it with me so I'll have someone to discuss it with.

I have enjoyed reading your blog thus far and am looking forward to more.

Yes, my motherly brain is definitely using different parts - the parts that make me do dumb things like locking myself out of houses, cars, etc.

My secret TV show is Inspector Rex on SBS. It is dumb but I love it! So predictable but Rex saves the day each episode and if it is one of the original episodes then Moser, who is cute, is in it too!
