20 Things Remote Control Is Thankful For This Holiday Season

Posted 11/23/10 1:00 pm EST by Lisa Chudnofsky in Jersey Shore, Real World, The Hills, Top TV Shows


1. The omnipresent Speidi! Spencer and Heidi Pratt may be down and out, but they never cease to provide us with fantastic blogging material. And really bizarre home videos.

2. Angelina Pivarnick's single, "I'm Hot." We currently have it playing on repeat--it brings back fond memories of the "Top That" rap from "Teen Witch."

3. "Jersey Shore" fashion. Despite the cast's recent style transformations, the ladies have yet to tire of wearing skintight dresses, multiple coats of bronzer and eye-popping cleave; and the guys are still sporting layers upon layers of gold crosses and rosary beads. Here's to staying true to yourself, all youse sexy bitches!

4. Uncle Nino.

5. Teen mom Maci's boyfriend, Kyle, without whom she might have run right back into the arms of bad-boy/baby-dad Ryan.

6. Pauly D's blowout, because without it his hair looks like this.

7. Lauren Conrad's imminent return to MTV. We were worried "Dancing with the Stars" (or worse, E!) would snatch her up.

8. The free Diet Coke in the office pantry.

9. Teresa Giudice from "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" and her brass bubbies. (Best one-liner in reality TV history: "Is bitch betta?!")

10. We're required to watch TV at work.

11. We're not 16 and pregnant.

12. We get to debunk tabloid rumors by having direct access to our show talent.

13. "Paris Hilton's My New BFF" never had a third season.

14. It takes two seconds to fix a typo on the internet, so you never actually get to see a lot of our mistakes!

15. For the most part, our readers don't yell at us in the comments section. (We can dish it, but we rarely can take it.)

16. If we want to publish a swear word, all we have to do is double-star two letters of it. Thanks a sh** ton to all the f***ing champs in the Standard & Practices Department!

17. We got to use the duck phone this summer.

18. We're too old to audition for the "Real World," and that's exactly the kind of impulsive thing we'd do and regret later on.

19. In case we don't make it home on a weeknight, there's an Aeropostale and Forever 21 right outside the building.

20. We have a fruitful career despite majoring in English and possessing the emotional IQ of a preteen.
