I’ve come to a few realizations this week. Number one, competitive dating shows just aren’t as addictive when the contestants are men vying for the affections of one woman. Cases in point: “The Bachelorette” and “Daisy of Love.” Bottom line, guys just aren’t as crazy, backstabbing and stalkerish as women are. Read: crazy = entertaining.

Looks like God doesn't always hear my prayers, after all.

"PARIS HILTON’S MY NEW BFF"
I know what you’re thinking: Wasn’t there already a reality show called “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF” less than a year ago? (I mean, it’s completely unethical for anyone to have more than one BFF ... everyone knows that.)

Good news for you, “Jon & Kate” fans: Now you have a People cover of Jon to match your People cover of Kate.

Separated only by covers of Bristol Palin and a bikini-clad Melissa Joan Hart, it’s the closest the couple has been in months! And, for your reading pleasure, both use the media to complain about the media!

But after five consecutive Us Weekly covers, there’s only so much of that story I can stomach. Let’s get to what really matters.

Lots of new shows!

Come on, Entertainment Weekly, are you really gonna stand behind “Survivor” as your pick for best reality show of all time? Clearly the June 12 issue went to print before anyone was able to get their hands on a screener of “Kendra,” which debuted this past Sunday on E!

But seriously, ya’ll, while EW’s Top 20  included some obvious choices -- “The Real World,” “American Idol,” “Project Runway” and “The Apprentice” -- it was

All right, I desperately needed a break this week from family dramas and celebrity jungles. Last night was the perfect opportunity, as “Top Chef Masters” premiered, and “So You Think You Can Dance” began its performance shows.

"TOP CHEF MASTERS"

Even though Speidi is long gone, they are still milking the publicity they earned from appearing (and/or leaving) “I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!” (Perhaps the plan all along?) When they appeared on “The View” yesterday,  Heidi was actually spraying that damn dry shampoo during the interview!

"THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY"
Are you affluent or do you date men who are?  Do you dress inappropriately for your age? Are you part of a group of frenemies who gossip and drink too much? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a housewife (at least in the Bravo world). 

"JON  & KATE PLUS 8"

Sheesh, with all the reality events this week, I barely had a chance to read my US Weekly! Thankfully, there was plenty of downtime during the endless “I’m a Celebrity" flashback clips.
