| I find for the most part, they are just tripe. I don't even understand the point of many of them, but there are a few that I just have to watch. Hell's Kitchen, Last Comic Standing and The Biggest Loser.
So, any of 'em grabbed your attention longer than it takes to decide it's just flotsam? | |

| | I avoid most prime time network reality shows like the plague. However, Amazing Race can be entertaining. I usually go for cable channel stuff like Mythbusters, Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, Dirty Jobs, Tank Overhaul, and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. | |

Tried it. Didn't like it. Ramsay was a little too over the top. He can still get nasty in Kitchen Nightmares but not as much. The difference for me is, in one show he's trying to help people turn their restaurants around, in the other he's just a nasty SOB.

| I like Mythbusters too, but not the "young" busters. They suck. Better with Jamie and Adam Savage.
I watched Superstar (= American Idol) nr. 1 and 2, then VyVolení 1 (like Big Brother), because it was new here so I gave it a shot. But they suck oh so much, with the small exception of singing contests, where there is (if you're lucky) at least something good to listen to. Rest=crap. | |

| You know, My friedn and I always had an idea for a reality show.
Put X people in a plain white room. White bed, white walls, everything the same shade of white. There's a door, and anyone can leave whenever they want. Last one in the room gets $500,000. Then, afetra few months, start really messing with them. Introduce a red bouncy ball. Then take it away. Put in yellow lights for a day. True reality TV.
