Not going to knock Reality TV or people who like it.
I love sports and people say the same thing about that.

So i cannot be a hypocrite.
I say ...Watch what you like....

The Biggest Loser is an awesome show.
The Bachelor/Bachelorette is dumb....but no one forces me to watch it if i dont want.


I understand what you saying, but reality shows usually consist of regular people like you and me. They not stars, dont have star power, i should hooked up a camera in my neighbors house and watch that reality...they living their lives while I put "mines on hold" getting stuck on couch watching theirs.

While I TOTALLY get what you're saying FF in theory....sometimes I'm in a shitty, stressful place and I really enjoy a dumbass reality show. Its simple, its stoopid, and it is just a nice little escape. Does it suck that these idiots are getting fame/fortune for being just that...idiots?!? Sure it does! But nothing I can do about that. I can, however, laugh at how dumb they are when I really need it the most. 🙂

After all...how is it any different than scripted shows? The purpose is the same. Entertainment. People could just as easily become lazy, couch hugging, S.O.Bs watching scripted shows, just as they can from reality tv.

I hate reality TV. I liked the first few series of big brother when it was psychological and they used to bring in various psychologists to give their analysis then they removed the psychologists and turned it into "a bunch of losers getting drunk in a house" so I stopped wathcing.

I dont watch TV much at all these days. It's all a load of crap. I feel the same way about soaps as I do about reality TV. There just doesnt seem to be any point to them. When I do watch TV I watch Panel shows, stand-up, News night, and anything else that is informative/funny. Also got into "The Event", love my conspiracy dramas!
