Would you do IT on TV?

Reality TV shows nowadays are getting more and more absurd but somehow they're also attracting more and more viewers. We only have to look at TV shows like JOE average and you'll know what I mean. But then again I'm not exactly one to cirticise either for I too was a victim of reality TV shows at one point. Yeap... I was one of the followers of JOE Millionaire. week after week I never missed the show just to see who the guy wouldpick in the end. Eventually the guy picked the wrong girl because he succumbed to the viewers pressure.
There's another show that's pretty much like JOE Millionaire but the twist to this reality show was that this guy is actually looking for a girl that he plans to marry. Pretty unique way of looking for a bride and rather handy too for the guy can actually go through 25 girls in such a short time. Although I'm not a follower of this show but I managed to watch last night's episode where the guy has finally shorlisted 3 out of the 25 girls that wanted to marry him. As it turned out this episode was like THE turning point of the show where the guy has overnight dates with all three girls. So I guess most of you know where all of this is leading right?

So did any of the girls actually did it on prime time TV? Technically no but one of the girls actually did make it clear to the WORLD that she's did it with the guy and even entertained the world with some preliminary scenes (if you get what I mean). Quite scandalous huh? The thing is... what if she isn't the one to get chosen by THE bachelor. Won't she watch the show later on and cringe? Although I admire her confidence and boldness but I have to admit that sleeping with the guy on national TV is not the smartest thing that a girl could do.

In my opinion the other two girls played it smart by not sleeping with him during the show but then again there's still another 2/3 episodes more so I may be speaking to soon. Nowadays... sex sells. If there's anything on TV or radio that has hints of sex in it it sells far more than those that havent. Call me old fashioned but I still think sex is not something that should be taken lightly. I don't judge people for the things that they have done or at least I try not to so don;t get me wrong by thinking that I condemn those who does it freely. But I've met people who have done it and somehow regrets their decision for not waiting. For not waiting for at least THE RIGHT person.

I never realised that one of my favourite songs relays this message. I only realised what the song was about when I was looking at the CD cover and saw the lyrics. Check it out...


Save Yourself
by Sense Field


Turn out the light
Just say goodnight to yourself
May I remind you
When you find you
Are all alone’s when you
You’ve got to be strong
That’s when they call you in the night
He’s got your picture in his mind
He’s got your number on a paper
At his disposal anytime

Is it really true
Did you save yourself
For someone who could love you for you
So many times we just give it away
To someone who
Someone who

You met in a bar
The back of a car
And for a moment
You felt important
But not in your heart
Cuz my self esteem
It’s been low
Go ahead and count,
It’s been lower than low
I know the feeling
Of it stealing life out from under me

Cuz I want to learn
How you save yourself
For someone who
Could love you for you
So many times we just give it away
To someone who couldn’t even remember your name
Did you save yourself
For someone who loves you for you
And loves me for me
Give it away
To someone who
Someone who
Can cherish your name

Cuz I want to learn
Did you save yourself
For someone who
Loves you for you
And loves me for me
Give it away
To someone who
Someone who
Can cherish your name

Cherish your name
