People love to watch a control freak melt down. A popular reality show about overly controlling brides-to-be is now in its sixth season (what reality show isn’t?) The show’s description reads:
“Who among us has not met a Bridezilla?” This reality series from WE takes us inside the hectic wedding preparations of brides-to-be who are determined to have the perfect wedding–no matter how many tantrums they must throw to achieve that dream. Every episode we meet a new bride who is more selfish and controlling than the previous one. This unique reality show, shows the life of brides-to-be and how they fight with their friends, family and future husband to get anything they want for their wedding and for it to be just the way the like it!”
One word: wow.
All of us have a little bit of a control freak in us. We want things our way, on our time table, and we want to control. Control freaks. We have all seen them. Crazy bosses, celebrity selfishness, bridezillas, and overbearing friends. The need for control and power is in every aspect of our culture. From government to Google, someone is always looking for power. Someone is always looking for control. There is a little control freak in all of us. Things have to be just so, we feel possessive about our groups, property, or relationships. But why? Why do we have this innate need to be in control?
