You know what grinds my gears? Television and media filled with cheap, pointless, talentless reality TV shows that are so similar it's as though they came from a factory. By this, I mean TV shows such as the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, and not to mention all the dance and singing "talent" shows. I dislike the Kardashians because there's nothing interesting about the show at all yet they think they're incredibly unique and gifted in some way. Jersey Shore is much the same, nothing amazing and during the Roast of Donald Trump (a good comedy show that you need thick skin to watch), Michael Sorrentino (aka the situation) was the only "comedian" to get booed off stage because he did what he does in Jersey Shore: make a lot of noise, wear his sunglasses in that annoying way where it's half-way down his nose and reference his abs and fake sun tan.

The dance and singing TV shows are the ones I hate the most. It's not just that it's a cheap show, I could care less how much the winners are paid, or if they're paid at all for that matter. Instead, the audience is like a bunch of screaming school girls, a painfully loud and gradually annoying sound. What's worse though are the judges who do the exact same screeching and squealing, except they have a microphone so it's louder than the audience. However, there's only one such show I consider to be somewhat bearable: The X Factor simply because the judges have enough sense to act as judges and give some rationale, rather than, "AAAAAAHHHHH-EEEEEEEIIIIIIII-AAAAAAAHHHHHHH". In particular, Simon Cowell because he says only what is relevant, such as his opinion with detailed reasoning and does not cave in to the contestant's emotional state.

But what truly grinds my gears ... is that Simon Cowell is not the judge in other singing and dance TV shows. If he were, then they may be worth while watching.
