The craziest show of my new addiction is Survivorman. If you haven't seen this show, or if you have watched one of the other survivor shows (Man v Wild, etc.), then you seriously have to check this out at least once. So this guy, Les (the Survivorman) goes out into the middle of nowhere (the Amazon, the Arizona desert, Canada in the middle of winter....) by himself with no food or and survives for 7 days. He literally is by himself - does all the filming by himself, builds a shelter, catches food (or not on some episodes), and tries to find his way back to 'civilization' by himself!!! It really is cool 'cuz lots of time he uses things that you could have with you in order to help him survive. I love this show 'cuz there is no way that I could ever survive like he does! It's crazy!!!!
So...It Takes a Thief...a great show that is these ex-robbers who are reformed and they go around robbing people's houses. The people give them permission to rob their house and the whole robbery is videotaped. The one guy (John) robs the house and the other guy (Matt) sits with the people and watches the robbery. The newer shows are better 'cuz they just tell the people, "we're gonna rob your house sometime this week" and then the people come home and their hosue has been 'robbed.' It's crazy 'cuz both usually the people go into the robbery thinking something like "no big deal" or "no way can they get into my house" or "my dog will totally protect the house" and then John gets in, robs them blind, and is usually gone from the house under 15 minutes. And it is amazing what people leave in their house - the show the other night, John got away with over $$2 million!!! Anyway, then the people get all their stuff back and the next day the show comes in and does these awesome security updates for the people's house! It's kinda a scary show 'cuz I don't want anyone to break into my house, but I literally cannot get enough of it!!!!!
And lastly...Dirty Jobs. So this guy, Mike, is absolutely out of his mind psycho!!! He travels all over and finds the most disgusting jobs...pig farming, bug breeder, kelp harvester, house mold cleaner....and then he does them!!! And some of the jobs are things that I have never even thought of as jobs...I mean seriously...who knew that there was a guy whose job it was to collect and study owl vomit? Or a buoy cleaner? A slime eel fisher? Seriously...not making this stuff up!!! Anyway...it's not just cool that Mike does it...it is crazy to me that there are people who do this stuff every day as their normal job! And then that these stinky, disgusting people go home to their families....I don't know but it is crazy to me!!!

Ha, I love those shows to. But you probably could assume that when you realized you liked it. Have you seen "The Office" episode like survivorman? I couldn't find it online but it's at my house and we should totally watch it so you can get into the office.
I meant "too" in that first sentence.
