Reality TV

[katev17]

What reality TV shows, if any, do you watch? I only watch Survivor, and only cuz my mum doesn't like watching television alone. (Go figure!) Oh yea, and American Idol to see the horrible singers... ("Like a virrrggggiiinn touched for the very first time!" ... shudder...)

lmao i saw that episode of American Idol that guy was so horrible! lol

i used to watch survivor but now it's getting old.... so now i watch the bachelorette/bacholor, American Idol and Paradise Hotel!

[Matt_K]

I must admit i watch Survivor. I have watched a bit of American Idol, but now that the horrible singers are gone, i could care less..

[Dino]

The bad singers are the best part of American Idol!

Very entertaining
:D

[katev17]

Exactly! What's the point of watching people sing songs that I don't even like ? lol ... oh well the badness of that Like a Virgin guy makes up for it all.

They're going about the american idol thing all wrong...It could be way bigger. What they need to do is take all the funny bad singers to Hollywood and make them sing and do little routines...that'd be alot more satisfying to watch. All the warbling britney wanna-bes would get turned away by Simon because they could carry a tune. Then they'd pick the worst singer in America and they'd win a record deal....ahhh.......sorry.....
mmm...you are about to witness the worst animal attack ever caught on video...(as man gets attacked by elephant.) yeah REAL TV is pretty good too.heh...anyways.

I think all reality TV is cool, they need to come up with some more. Did you see the all Womens Fear Factor last night. WOW;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

[texasluv]

there is a new reality show on showtime called freshman diaries that is really good. a bunch of freshman at the univeristy of texas-austin film themselves and all that goes on in their freshman year. so far i've found it very realistic and it's cool that there is less censorship since it's on showtime. there is a preview for the next episode on sho.com/freshman1

I hate reality tv. i watch tv to escape reality.

[TheRedDragon]

Blind Date (some of those dates are bloody painful *L*) and The Osbournes. ;)

[Bartman]

the osbournes whenever i can catch them on tv. The only reality show i really follow now is the Joe Schmoe show. Now THATS the best show :D if you dont know what it is its a reality show where everyone are actors except one guy and they pretend like they are in a normal reality show but there really not :) confusing but relly cool!

Amen. When I watch blind date, most of the time I think "Man... I'm really not that much of an a$$hole after all!" :D

[Clownfishie]

I must admit to having watched the Idol shows... American & Canadian ;) Other than that, I watched some of The Bachelorette, because my mom was watching it... In general, I hate reality TV...

[Matt_K]

dude, The Joe Schmoe show is awesome!! The Guy that thinks its an actual Reality Show (Lap Of Luxoury) is hilarious!! I been watching it since the first episode and just cant stop now..

[CDN-Cresties]

I watch blind date, matchmaker, paradise hotel and the lofters when it was on. I have a feeling that Joe Schmoe guy is a actor and the real Joe Schmoes are the people think watch it and believe its a reality show....thats my prediction...lol :D

Blech.... a lot of reality tv is a waste of .... airspace? No.. thats radio. Well, in my opinon. I like the osbournes when I see it, and I USED to watch survivor back when it was good, but not a whole lot anymore. Real life is good enough for me. :P ~TR~

[reverendsterlin]

I see very little reality connected with most "reality" shows. You think your going to sing to a national audience, be offered a $1,000,000 and a mate, be offered a place on national television, or be sent to a deserted area and asked to perform for the goods to survive? Even shows like cops and real tv have people in abnormal situations that the average joe (or josephine) never find themselves in. There is no reality in media, it is all biased in one way or another, though we are trained to believe our own culture's view from birth. Reality is unemployment, low wages, oppression, and the rich getting richer while the poor labor for them and the governments serve them. My reality is a government that can put a man on the moon but won't solve poverty issues, unemployment while "my nation's" corporations downsizing good paying jobs here and restarting them as low paying jobs in another country so they may more easily abuse labor and increase their riches. My reality has homeless folks begging at many corners across the nation and children starving around the world. "Reality" doesn't sell commercial time and look at the bottom line for this weeks programing. There is a big difference between 'reality' and the 'entertainment' that the media and government want us to ignore. Seldom will you be dazzled by brilliance, mostly it is trying to baffle us with BS. If the commercials don't sell the show gets cut bottom line, realness doesn't sell and makes society look as bad as it really is.

[ChunkyMunky]

Lol, they kicked hutch off, that man was too funny.

[Chelydraman]

I watched the best "Reality " Show out there tongiht it is on the movie channel and it is called "The Contender" it was hilarious it was who could be the last standing and have killed the rest of the people. I haven't laughed so hard in my life.

It was obviously fake and making fun of reality shows because I hate reality shows

[Jeromerules]

The only one i watch is the Joe Schmo it's actually a really good show surprisingly. It's the reality show that's not real. It's good because it shows how big of a heart someone can actually have. THe Joe Schmo guy named Matt is a super nice and caring guy who has a huge heart and you see it in every episode. ANyways you should really tune into this show because it's one of the best. It's hilarious too.

[drewlowe]

BIG BROTHER i have watched that show from the very first one. This year was sucky though cause they did the whole x factor!!!. I don't like reality tv but for big brother i made an exception.

They had to get thier name from the book 1856 (i think or something like that.) Double think LOL... Watch out big brother is watching you...

[J.J.]

I watch lots of TLC stuff! Thats fun! Like A wedding story, a dating story, a baby story, perfect proposal, clean sweep, while you were out, and trading spaces. But besides reality Tv....Lifetime is a great channel too...it can be very sad though because most of the movies are about women being killed in some sort of way. Gee...how...charming...lol. But its all very interesting! ;)

[SerpentLust]

I watch Big Brother lol Because I'm bored lol

Jenn

[drewlowe]

LOL Jenn...

Oh i forgot the other one that i just started watching. I don't care what anyone says about this show. It's the most hillarious thing i have ever seen. The whole way through i'm laughing my but off and my boyfriend even likes the show!!! Queer eye for the strait guy is hillarious and a must see!!! Nothing like what i thought it would be.

[texasluv]

i agree that queer eye is really funny. i also think the new survivor is pretty good. you guys should really check out freshman diaries though. I think it's very realistic...at least compared to my freshman year!

[Melly18]

I can't wait to see Punkd i heard it's hilarious! What channel is Freshman Diaries on?

[texasluv]

oh yeah, i forgot about punk'd...i love that show too! freshman diaries is on showtime on sunday nights. they replay it a bunch of times throughout the week too. i think there is a schedule on their site sho.com/freshman1

[jay76]

Not that 50-60 hour weeks and 16-20 hour weekends leaves much time for TV watching, but I just can't get into any of those so called reality shows. To me it's nothing more than a prime example of marketing - instead of coming up with new. quality programs, networks have cloned what was popular at the time and mass produced it. Same thing with the music industry. Not that I'm saying no one should watch them, just don't expect me to stay in the room when they come on :)

[marisa]

At my house we are obsessed with Survivor. We have a Survivor party each year and bet money on the winner. Last year I won quite a bit of cash of my friends LMAO.

Survivor is the only one I can tolerate though, and The Osbournes.

Marisa

[texasluv]

i agree that most of the reality shows are crap but freshman diaries is actually different...check it out! i have been a fan of survivor too since the beginning!

I FINALLY caught that the other day, it is friggin' hilarious! The best was watching Justin Timberlake almost bawl his eyes out *L* :D

[ohh_kristina]

I really hate most reality shows. Some of them are okay, but these ones like Joe Millionaire and the Bachlorette, etc. are RIDICULOUS. I hate them with a passion. They are ruining television. I don't understand why so many people are attracted to shows like that. But, whatever floats your boat, I guess.

[lordkovacs]

i only watch survivor...cause i have from the start. it's a better season then it has been in a while...

[texasluv]

yeah, they have gone totally overboard with reality shows...some of them are soooo dumb. i really do like freshman diaires though.

[texasluv]

Ok, guys. i'm really changing my mind about reality TV after watching a few episodes of this Freshman Diaries show on Showtime. IT is SO addictive! They show clips on the website which is www.sho.com/freshman1 and you will NOT be disappointed! College kids are hysterical!!!
