Showmance

I notoriously fell for my leading man. I really did. By the third or fourth leading man I said "No, Mom, it's real. I love him. I know it is sort of like a pattern but I love him." There is legitimacy to a showmance."

Eventually the tale of a stagehand who seemed to be separated from his housebound wife, but, oddly, not when she came to visit, seemed more amusing than appalling, and I learned not to wince at the various (sometimes painfully) young women who arrived breathless and eager for a Showmance—whether or not there was a wife in the background.

In addition to mud-slinging, deception and drama, showmance is one aspect that makes reality television so addicting.

Reality TV is a guilty pleasure for a lot of Libras, and TDI was basically reality television in animated kid form, complete with challenges and some Total Drama showmances - both good and bad.
