Smart people love stupid TV

Romy McMaster is really, really smart. At 33, the Vancouverite has a master’s degree in epidemiology, and she spends her days as a health researcher doing, well, really smart stuff. But by night, she devolves into a reality–TV blogger. At www.theperogypile.com/—the name is a tribute to her Winnipeg roots—she yaks about The Bachelorette, Survivor, and most recently, America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 11.

Why not? According to UBC’s Toph Marshall, an associate professor of classics, ANTM may not be the new Homer, but it does serve a purpose. “I think some people are doing a lot of mental work when they watch TV,” he told the Straight. Marshall watches The Amazing Race, Survivorman, Kitchen Nightmares, Mantracker, and occasionally, The Biggest Loser. Many smart people work in isolated cubicles and offices, he said, and know that gossip will hurt those who are close by. So they bring their urge for interaction to vacuous TV.
