It's your opinion that diamonds are ugly. That doesn't make a fact; you shouldn't state it as such.
 

I prefer pearls to diamonds as well, but since the whole thing is opinion rather than statement of fact Anonymous has nothing to complain about. I like something with a little colour, which is why I prefer rubies or emeralds. There is a nice variety f colours in pearls including some extremely beautiful gold coloured ones.

I am an unremitting fan of The Amazing Race and promote it with a pure and burning passion. I think you'd enjoy the show if you gave it a chance. It's the only "reality" show that my mother can tolerate. It's a competition in which personalities come out but the show's premise is not really interpersonal conflict but and that conflict has little or nothing to do with the outcome. Plus in most seasons the surroundings are incredibly exotic. Is Animal Precinct going to take you to India or Istanbul? (The current season is a Family edition though and seems mainly focused on travel in North America with families of four. It isn't a very good one although it might serve as a starter.)
 

If I did watch a reality show with a contest theme, I think Amazing Race would be the one I watched. James has seen it once or twice and says it's fun. I almost really don't care about TV anymore except for House; I'm even losing interest in Monk as they make it more of a comedy series. Used to like Airline, but now it seems at least every episode includes some drunken person and it's always the same thing: they're loud and obnoxious and call the airline names. Yawn.
