I was actually Eric, not Ryan, who said to Natalia that he was not a fan of reality shows and indicated he was more of a CNN guy. Eric also mentioned to Calleigh that he felt out of the loop about what was going on with all the reality show talk and Calleigh told him it was a girl thing and that she used to watch, etc.....
Or it could be that Calleigh got back into reality shows and dragged Ryan down with her - that version of events I'd buy. He does seem to have been spending a lot of time with her off work from what we can see recently - and they do text each other a lot. I wouldn't be suprised if she has declared a movie night with her, ryan and maybe nat, and put on something girly like a chick flick or reality show.
Or maybe its me thats reminded of a couple of girls gossiping (bearing in mind I'm a big ryan fan so say this in the most endearing way possible) sometimes when I see the two of them talking with each other or looping arms.
As for the plot itself. I wish they would come up with more original ideas - I get that its difficult to be original in a tv world where pretty much everything has been done, but at least trying not to copy themselves or putting an entiraly new spin on things would be nice. As for Ryan I hope he gets some really nice plots that show some deep insight into his charater and let the team connect with him.
