- The Guilty Pleasure of Reality TV - Ep. 90 Tish & Ellen 47:48
Ever found yourself spellbound by the whirlwind romances an dramatic fallouts of reality TV? This week on Positively Midlife, we peel back the curtains with our guest Laura Heinrich to reveal our own obsessions with shows like “Indian Matchmaker” and, “Married at First Sight” the latest sensation “The Golden Bachelor.”
For the weekly obsessions, Tish dishes the lowdown on a kitchen gadget she just can't live without , while Ellen share her latest cozy fashion find – a hoodie that's become my her go to for work from home and California's relentless winter rain. Not to be outdone, our guest Laura brings her flair to the table with an Amazon ring set that's as stylish as it is affordable.
We've all seen it: strangers marrying at first sight, the search for love and hopeful midlife singles navigating the matchmaking maze. But what hooks us to these shows is the raw, unscripted dance of human connection—something we all crave, especially as we may bring our midlife Wisdom to the shows. Our guest Laura adds texture to our musings, agreeing that the lens of reality TV might be more scripted that we think. Yet, we can't help but marvel at the surprising success stories that emerge, sparking a lively debate on the role of arranged marriages in today's world.  Laura kicks off with insight into her favorite reality show MAFS-Married at First Sight and how decision day is quickly arriving for season 17. Tish shared why she binges the Indian Match Maker on rainy weekends. And Ellen shares why she both loved and hated the Golden Bachelor.
Rounding off our open conversation into the realm of televised reality matchmaking and love, we toss around the concept of a reality show featuring none other than us—podcasters in the throes of midlife! Do you think it could work? And we tease the promise of co-host Ellen as the new “The Golden Bachelorette,” we part with a GREAT reminder to find joy in every step of the midlife life's journey, and who knows, maybe even one reality TV episode at a time.
