Fake Optimist

I'm watching a dessert competition show (while I work) and there's one woman who claims the title of "Eternal Optimist" in the spot under her name where her job title should be. She is that fake bubbly, constantly throw-it-in-your-face kind of optimist. So far she has been in every final challenge fighting to stay in the competition because her desserts aren't good looking or tasting. The judges even said they are only keeping her in the competition to see if she can ever "optimistically create anything edible." I have to admit I enjoy seeing her melt-down during and after every challenge and lose her fakeness. It's not that I'm a Scrooge. I just don't think people can be too much of one thing all the time (too optimistic, too pessimistic, too liberal, too conservative, etc.) Too much of one thing is never good. There has to be a balance. I also don't like fake people - especially fake people who throw it into everyone's face. Back to my show and watching her lose her fakeness with every meltdown she has.
