"Recently, almost by accident, Anna M admitted something shameful to me--something she was surprised to find that I, too, count among my dark secrets.\nWE ARE STILL WATCHING THE REAL WORLD.\nNow, I&amp;#39;d imagine your reaction right now falls somewhere on the spectrum of &amp;quot;The Real World is still on?&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;And you guys get paid to curate culture for us, right?&amp;quot;\nYeah. We know. We&amp;#39;re not proud of it, OK? But it is what it is. Each Wednesday evening, with an airtight alibi ready for anyone who asks, we&amp;#39;ve been watching seven people picked to live on an island in St. Thomas, work together, and have their lives taped.\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: Please credit Ian Spanier or wwwTo be honest, said tapes go a long way towards putting me to sleep that night. If you haven&amp;#39;t been watching, here&amp;#39;s a quick rundown of what you&amp;#39;re missing: there&amp;#39;s a pretty functional couple, two normal singles, one emo guy who favors tiny vests and falls for anything with an XX chromosome, and one awful pairing made up of a whiny, broody, perpetually shirtless guy + a girl who&amp;#39;s decided she&amp;#39;s cool with him having a girlfriend back home. Occasionally, everyone pretends to work at an aquarium.\nI know. It&amp;#39;s horrible. As we&amp;#39;ve lamented before, they don&amp;#39;t make &amp;#39;em like they used to. And yet I can&amp;#39;t. Drop it. From the DVR. It&amp;#39;s like the opposite of my former Gossip Girl situation.\nAnyway, I am betting--and I really hope this is true, for the sake of my own pride--you&amp;#39;ve got to have a show like this of your own. One that&amp;#39;s led you to punch pillows and yell at the screen but never to a firm, no-looking-back break. Helplessly, you keep coming back.\nSort of like Laura does with Trey. Oh, right, no one&amp;#39;s getting that reference except for Anna. At least we have each other.\nOK, fess up--what&amp;#39;s the show you&amp;#39;re still watching out of loyalty, even though it&amp;#39;s gotten SO bad?\nMore fun stuff...\nBreaking Up With a Show Like Gossip Girl Is Hard to Do\nWhat Group of TV Besties Reminds You Most of Your Friends?\nWe Still Miss These 5 Epic Seasons of The Real World\nP.S.
