    Even I don't like them. Waste of time! Just a money-making technique.

    Not particularly, no. I like something well-written and creative, with the sort of storyline that makes me wonder and anticipate about the next episode.

    I have enough problems dealing with real reality. I don't need to watch a manufactured version of implausible, inane, fake reality. In case you were wondering, the preceding translates to no.

    There are reality shows that I like. Like The Apprentice-- though I've only watched the 1st season.. didn't like the 2nd. And, ANTM, although it got boring.

    Reality shows are fun to watch, but they tend to get boring when they've got lots of seasons.

    I don't like r.shows wherein you'll obviously see that it's scripted.

    Not really the only one I'll watch is I'm A Celebrity as I watched it from series 1.

    Survivor and The Bachelor/ette are my guilty pleasures.

    Not only do I not watch them, I refused an offer to participate.

    No...with the exception of 'Amazing Race'....I get to see the world from the comfort of my own couch and its a little excelerating to watch the race

    I use to enjh=oy watching the drama but now it's all the same just a different channel.

    Hate them they are exploitative rubbish churned out so the networks can dispense with the services of writers and actors but still reap the huge advertising revenues.

    I follow off and on the "Illuminati, ordo ab chao (order out of chaos)" reality show. Coming soon at a theatre near you!

    Reality TV is the root of all evil. Well, one of many roots, perhaps, but an insidious one.

    NO! My husband and I watched a few of the first Survivor shows and that was it. There was nothing "real" about them and we hate being manipulated, so we don't volunteer to be among the sheeple mezmerized by the unreal shows on the boob tube.

    I love The Amazing Race - wins the Emmy every year in that category. Knocks all the other so-called "reality" shows out of the park.

    most are boring in my view but ones which showcase genuine talent would get my vote!

    my wife and I watch Survivor (we've got that Jaison 28 year old lawyer in this year's pool) and Amazing Race .. and a few food shows, like Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef, etc.

    my wife (not me) also loves all those Much Music reality shows .. daisy, ray j, rock of love, show me the money, tila tequila, the overweight batchelor, etc. If she watches shows like Next Top Model, or something mindless I might watch if I'm not doing anything... it's hard to get control of the remote during prime time.

    nooo! I don't like.
  21. FaithfulinPrayer
    No, they are a waste of time. I don't see the entertainment value there at all

    I guess I'm in the minority but I can't help myself. *hanging head in shame* I actually posted about this not too long ago:

    Not really. Reality shows, and talk shows, are like a disease that decays the intelligence of their viewers until they are of the lowest forms of human existence.

    No, but only because the Real World hasn't put me on it yet.
  25. celticmusicfan
    No because it is so real.
  26. NatetheGrate
    Oh, please. Real life is interesting; TV crap is boring.
  27. brooklynposh
    i watch some.. but i miss the old tv shows.

    The main stream reality shows should be banned, they are for want of a better word; tripe. They do nothing but create this culture of instant fame and success wannabes, when in fact, the reality is far from that. (Not that I would know).

    Idiocracy is not only a great film, but it gives us a glimpse into the dumbed-down world in which we are heading.
