tv: reality shows... have they gone too far?

i watch very few things on tv. therefore i spend whatever time i do on good quality documentaries and some drama, some news and random simpsons reruns. there's not enough time in the day as it is.
 
With all due respect... those "competitions" are NOT reality TV. They are game shows. The singing and dancing shows are talent shows.

Reality TV is cameras following people around as they live their lives without any scripting or creating of artificial circumstances.

There's nothing wrong with Reality TV as long as it's believable. For instance, people competing for a prize while the cameras are rolling is believable.

People saying things that make themselves look ridiculous and petty to millions of viewers isn't. Nor are people who have a histrionic fit every time something doesn't go their way.

This is why I tend to gravitate toward the reality shows that focus on competition, and leave the one's that focus on the relationships and personalities of the contestants. There is nothing more grating than watching an amateur actor/actress try to convince me of their sincerity. Just shutup and do something cool.
 
I used to get into reality tv for the mere shock value and "are these people fucking serious" kind of thing... but now it's just been done so many times that it's not remotely interesting anymore. i mean how many times can you honestly have a group of people living in a house, get voted off one by one...... god at least come up with a new formula or something
 
my neice has her own reality television show starting this month on The Learning Channel , she doing 13 episodes.

link to her new show ...

i watched a great special about your niece! she's a pediatrician(?) dealing with a long distance relationship from her husband, right? it was a really cool show!

btw, the winner of "hell's kitchen" tonight lives in my home town and i met him while he was catering a wedding. it's actually pretty cool.

(i really have no opinion on reality shows. some really suck, but i can still get into some of the stranger ones. eh... *shrug*)
 
I admit that I watch pretty much all the VH1 reality shows. It's so pathetic it's interesting.

The more extreme reality shows go, the more people will watch. Everyone loves a train wreck no matter how much they say it's disgusting or stupid.
 
^ can't argue with that. that daisy chick is annoying as shit, ugly, and a fucking moron. not to mention... wtf is she famous for? isn't she famous for being a contestant on the show "rock of love" with bret michaels? so basically this is a show centered around winning a relationship with a fake titted, ugly, retard, groupie ho and all the contestants are douchey, talentless, wannabe rocker dudes with boners flailing about like an unmanned firehose.
 
It has Billy Mays; who wouldn't watch it?!

I haven't watched a reality show since The Mole, and I don't plan on changing that.
 
Reality shows aren't even that realistic. People always act more so like a bitch on television than they would ever in real life. It's all bullshit. I'm not a fan of that garbage to begin with...

Haha I like Daisy of Love. :D Delicious guilty pleasure. =D
 
^ i watch it, but i don't know if i can say i "like" it. :D

all those dudes are tools and daisy's really no prize if you ask me. remember the episode when that one guy (can't remember his name... EDIT: his name was flipper) flipped out and smashed a wine glass over his head and tried to pick a fight with the non-confrontational black dude? he just let the blood run down his face and all the guys were like "that guy is a fucking PSYYYYCHO." then later he was looking in the mirror while cleaning the blood off his face and says to himself "that ain't nothin'" what a lame ass. he gave himself a knick on the forehead that luckily (or unluckily... however you wanna look at it) for his image it bled more than it could have. he made himself look like a total moron.
 
Yep, Daisy is awesome. People say she's a POS but I kinda like her. LOL She's dumb, I hate the lips, but I think she's cool as far as rocker chicks go. And honestly, if a chick can make a ton of money sitting around watching guys be stupid to win her over, more power to her. She's a really dumb, silicon-ey, fake chick who is making money because people like me watch her and she got 20 guys to act stupid on a TV show for her. It just shows you that people love the train wrecks.

Edit: Daisy is stupid and she's fucked up her face with those lips, but she's got a rockin' body and I'd kill for her tummy.
 
i won't deny that she's nice... but i don't know that i'd go as far as to say much more. the lips are awful (i agree with that :D), the boobs are horrendous, the hair is terrible, her personality is so over the top fake (so it seems to me anyways), and she's just so dumb that it's too hard for me to see past. maybe that's narrow minded, but i'm stuck in my ways.

yet again... i can't help but watch. :D
 
The one person i can't stand, and I've switched the channel is all the "New York" shows. She just annoys me so I change the channel.
 
lmao... funny that you said that. i watched a full episode of 'daisy of love,' then sat through a whole episode of 'charm school.' then 5 minutes (or so) into that new york show... i changed the channel. :D

All reality shows involve a competition. Show me one that doesn't.

I just prefer those with a higher competition:bad acting ratio.
 
I think the ones that go the furthest are the fake reality shoes e.g. The Joe Shmoe Show & My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance. Both classics. IMO. :D
 
Even Survivor is fake. They make it seem like someone could dieeeee from sitting out there in the woods, but you know for legal reasons they would never let anyone go without water or food for too long.
