reality TV this Thanksgiving weekend.

reality TV this Thanksgiving weekend.

There’s no reason for boredom this weekend, as TV is full of reality to keep you more entertained than the reality you have to face on the other side of the Thanksgiving dinner table. Tonight, The Bachelor 6 concludes with a two-hour finale and one-hour reunion, and FOX airs the much-anticipated American Idol Christmas special, titled “Kelly, Ruben, and Fantasia: Home for Christmas.” Plus, there will be reruns of Queer Eye’s new Thanksgiving special, and a number of reality TV marathons. I run down the schedule for today and tomorrow at MSNBC.com, where TV editor Gael Fashingbauer Cooper and I also select our “reality TV turkeys of the year.” My pick: Donald Trump, for the “Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade balloon that is both his ego and his persona” (although I admit “it’s hard not to love Trump for acting like such an eccentric nitwit”). Gael’s pick is William Hung “for his inability to Just. Go. Away.” She pleads, “William. Please. Stop the insanity.”

Enjoy the long weekend, unless you have to work, in which case, please smile and be happy, because the last thing we want when we go holiday shopping is to face surly employees who refuse to meet our demands for instant gratification. Happy Thanksgiving.
