Facing Reality
JG and I used to watch a lot of reality television. These days, we’ve pared down to Survivor and the occasional episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County or Engaged and Underage, but our roster of reality shows to watch was quite extensive at one point. We loved to yell at the screen during The Apprentice, Amazing Race, Project Runway, and Top Chef, and those were just the regular viewings.
I came across a quiz at The Nest that was supposed to assess which reality show a person was most suited for. Each partner should take the quiz separately and then see if they would end up on the same team. There are a lot of goofy quizzes out there, but I couldn’t help but click through this one. I fancy us to be closest to an Amazing Race team, so I was gunning for that show. I mean, we’d never pick the wrong task (choose the one with a measurable end!) and we’re not afraid of heights, so I figured that it was a safe bet.
The results came back and I was not pleased:
You’re The Apprentice Executive
Check out the young CEO in the making! You love the idea of running a company one day, even if it’s your own boutique. You have a knack for money and numbers, and work really hard to be the best at your job. Some might even call you a perfectionist. Just remember, you don’t need to be Donald Trump rich to have made it. Another good reality show you’d be great on (or find great to watch) is The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, or The Food Network’s Recipe for Success.
Excuse me? I’d have to work with inane, egotistical people and resist the temptation to rip The Donald’s hair off his scalp?
At my request, JG took the quiz and ended up on The Apprentice, too! Well, at least we’re both on the same show … even if we can’t stand it … and it’s not like they’d put us on the same team …
I think it’s a good bet that this quiz is a lot like reality television - it’s entertaining, but not completely accurate.
