Games to Play While Watching Trash TV

Apollo the Just · #1

My sister created a fantastic drinking game for HGTV. I usually play with like root beer or something because I don't particularly like the taste of alcohol, but just having something to drink to play along and realize HOW OFTEN THIS STUFF COMES UP is a lot of fun.

Here are the rules:

[spoiler]
Drink when someone says…

beach
view
move in ready/turnkey
open concept/open floor plan
rustic
dock
kids/grandkids can visit
I hate this color
deck/patio
city center
retreat
island
hardwood

Or when…

something goes wrong with the renovation
they talk about how much they entertain
the idiots pick the wrong house
the reno involves removing a wall
you can see a divorce in this couple’s future

Overseas bonus rules:

no dishwasher???????
oven or fridge too small
“authentic” or “typical” experience
casual racism

Like, trash tv is trash, but it's also kind of great? Because of how terrible it is? And then because every episode is the same you start finding patterns like this and it's always hilarious because of THE ACCURACY.

It's time for us all to admit our garbage TV guilty pleasures. Come on. What shows, and what things ALWAYS come up that would make a good play-along-while-watching game?

[Bingo boards are always a lot of fun as well]

Ironically watching trash is still watching trash, you know.

Anyway, I don't have TV, and with its lack of accessability I haven't watched a TV show for a year plus.

So, I have none?

oh I can't remember the last time I was in the same room as a TV that actually had TV shows and not just video games.

I do, however, have netflix. and a few less legal alternatives i mean.... hulu. yeah, hulu.

But fair nonetheless

The only "reality" style shows I watch are competitions: America's Got Talent, The Sing-Off, & the occasional Cupcake Wars or something of the like.
The worst show I've intentionally chosen to watch in recent memory is Heroes Reborn.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Trash TV seems to be the only TV my family watches.

Take a drink every time Nancy Grace interrupts a guest.

off topic I'm thinking of trying to brew some sort of fruit punch drink, and even though now suddenly it's really popular to have a "hard lemonade" or "hard orange soda" I'm confident fruit punch will have a slightly sizable audience
