I love almost every one of these too!!! But I agree with the others--Hoarders is a great one.

I can't get enough of the Real World and the Challenge shows - those people are an ugly mess and I am enthralled by how dirty they all are.

Survivor and Amazing Race are by far the best!!!!

AI is my fave!

The rest of reality I catch on a "on the fly" basis.

The place where we need reality is in the news and in the politics, not the tv shows.

You are sick with a fevor AND still at work.....shit dude go home before you infect everyone!!!

Most of these shows are scripted, which is a total turn off. If you know anything about production, editing and logistics, it is pretty easy to tell which ones are.

But that said, I have to admit a soft spot for "Amazing Race"...the only show I would actually kill to be on.

Other than that, I tend to lean toward reality TV such as COPS ("You have no identificaion and the car you are driving belongs to a guy named Buba, that you just met in a bar".......this never gets old to me for some reason.)

The only other shows of late that have me fascinated are "Shark Tank" on Friday nights (imagine presenting a business idea to bank loan committee and all the Board members are Simon Cowel), really entertaining.

The only other one I really want to watch is "Horders" on A&E. A show about interventions for people that have compulsive disorders concerning material possessions....only because I know SO MANY of these people.

I love reality TV too. Im a huge American Idol fan.

Recently [and I HATE to admit this] I have become obsessed with the:

Jersey Shore
[insert *fist pumps*]

I also love The Kardashians, and Kendra, and almost all things on the E! Channel.

I can't get enough Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew.

And my newest favorite show has to be Hoaders.

I, too, have a small addiction to reality TV. There's nothing better, on a lazy weekend day, than to find a reality tv marathon playing. :-)

I've only watched Idol once. We were at someone else's house, and that Pickler chick was singing...with her "Something About Mary" bangs standing straight up. Disturbing.

Because of my schedule, I usually miss Amazing Race these days....but when I get to watch it, it's a laugh a minute. You hit the nail on the head when you mention the couples yelling at each other the whole time. It's amusing. :-)

Survivor was my first reality show crush....but, for some reason, I haven't watched it the past couple of seasons. I'm such a slacker.

America's Next Top Model...yeah, yeah...I admit it. Although, laughing at those girls has grown a little old.

I'm a regular So You Think You Can Dance and Biggest Loser watcher nowadays.

2010-01-27T12:05:50.420-05:00

It's people like you that are ruining what use to be "normal" programming for the rest of us, LOL ! Oh, how I long for the days of a good sitcom, or show with an actual PLOT ! Alas, thanks to the mouth-breathing general populous, I have to suffer through loosely scripted "REALITY" shows these days. You people don't really think all that "reality" bullshit "just happens", do you ?

Take your # 4 pick - The Bad Girls Club. Other than the women being hot, this show is utter GARBAGE.

Premise of EVERY show ? - Bad girls get ready to go out, bad girls go out, bad girls get drunk at club, fight ensues, drunken bad girls taken home in limo, fight continues. How can you constantly be entertained by the SAME SHIT over and over ?

Heff has spoken.

None.

2010-01-26T19:37:14.333-05:00

I love, love, love Survivor and I have a vague interest in American Idol (i.e. I kind of half watch, because I want to know who wins and judge whether they're worthy or not). LOL.

2010-01-26T16:42:14.147-05:00

I'm obsessed with The Apprentice...prefer the UK one but will also watch the US one.

I'll admit that year in and out I get sucked into watching the X Factor...even just to moan about how poor the competition is!

Love the US "So You Think You Can Dance"...now starting in the UK

Used to watch "ANTM" but it just gets on my nerves these days.

OF those you listed we get:
American Idol, Amazing Race and Survivor.

2010-01-26T15:07:08.542-05:00

I tried to get back into Survivor, but I just could not do it. I do really, really love American Idol, though. The auditions are hilarious, and I wish they'd show last year's winner's audition again (if that makes sense) in the new season. I always forget what they looked/sounded like.

2010-01-26T14:28:32.991-05:00

i stopped watching Survivor after season 2 Australia, then it seemed they were all the same.

i have been known to catch an episode or two of the surreal life, cuz that shit is like a train wreck!!

Other than that, i'll be so happy when the viewing public decides to stop watching reality tv... i don't know why, but it makes me feel all dirty and voyeristic, without actually seeing the sex, and what's the fun in that?
