The worst thing about reality TV is the artificiality.
No, it's just lowest common denominator shite.Quote:

They're famous, for sure.. But for all the wrong reasons...
A bit like the Jeremy Kyle show. Frontal lobotomy required to take part.:)
Jeremy Kyle is the fucking anti-christ...
"I'm an Attention Whore - Watch me degrade myself on Telly"
:yawn:
The "celebs" are getting more and more obscure each year. They really have scraped the barrel this year.
Most are there for two reasons....to boost their ego and flagging careers.
I only watch it in the hope that someone will (in order of preference) get eaten by a croc, bitten by a deadly spider or snake, electrocuted by an eel or, through sheer starvation, try eating Janice Dickinson and find she really is made of plastic.
Malcom McClaren telling the makers they're show is complete crap was the best part. :lol:
That won't stop me watching every episode though. :(

The most disgusting reality concept/show I heard of was one gem called "Temptation Island". It's premise was to put committed couples and singles on an Island, mix them up in these provocative situations and see if a divide in the couple would occur (ala infidelity).
That this serves as entertainment is more bizarre than the morons who agreed to be on the show.
im a dick-ted to reality tv get me a brain transplant. :(
Oh they're not all bad!! I like amazing race. That is one that I do get a kick out of and find it interesting and funny. At one point I didn't mind Fear Factor until they made them eat a pig head, or something disgusting like that. I hit the off button at that point.
i watch too many to name, Big Brother us, aus, uk. are my favorites. i know im sad.
i watched one episode of amazing race, didn't like the american version, but i watched a whole season of the german version with subs a few years go when i had satellite.
i watch the real world, thats the only mtv show i like at the moment. any show with drunk teenagers fighting all the time is worth watching. :yes:
The ones I cannot stand are those awful relationship ones: Married by America (supremely ridiculous by all standards), Bachelor, Bachelorette, etc
The slug-em-out-till-the-last-one-standing-is-the-winner shows are not nearly as bad and do have their brilliant moments!
If you wanna watch a slug-em-out-till-the-last-one-standing-is-the-winner show. watch the ultimate fighter, the winner gets a ufc contract and the chance to get severe brain damage. :wacko:
I saw a bit of that not long ago. Sugar Ray Leonard was hosting. At first I thought it was a regular match up and then realized it was a reality show. You're right about the slug-up. It reminded me of a UFC match. Now those are the ultimate slug-outs. I watched one match a while ago. I think it was UFC 75. Randy Couture literally pancaked his opponent's nose. It was truly painful to watch. You have to marvel at the sheer ferocity and skill of this style of fighting. It's addictive.
any fighter prepared to step into the octagon with Randy Couture must be mental.
