These various TV talent and reality shows are cross-pollinating like crazy these days. It's a whole new life path. You can start off on some kiddie talent show. Then you can grow up to meet your spouse on something like The Bachelor or the Bachelorette. Later, when the marriage fails, you can rat out your spouse on one of those Tell The Truth shows. You can try dancing, or business, or cooking on one of the shows designed to showcase that kind of talent. Or you can try your hand at a little exotic adventure on a show like Survivor. And before they roll you out to that great reality show in the sky, you can sit around chatting with Barbara Walters about which one of you is actually going to make it to 150.
