No amount of money could make me do that.-
no, never!

Reality shows typically pay nothing to most contestants and MOST people have to take an unpaid leave of absence or quit their jobs in order to go on.
You chances of winning anything on a reality show are slim to none while your chances of being utterly and completely humiliated are very high.-
@stillthinking
You nailed it.

Would you go on reality TV?
My answer is - no.
-
-
You're not allowed to bring a book with you on Big Brother. No chance.
-
There are some high quality reality shows, like The Amazing Race. Well, that's about the only one that I can think of!-
I would totally do Amazing Race.
-
-
no way - if I want attention - I blog-
If I want attention I leave my house LOL
I am guaranteed to cause enough trouble to draw attention to myself.
-
-
I think we all already are.-
I would tend to only partially concur, funny still.
Truman Burbank, played by Jim Carrey, is unaware his life is a live reality TV show.

Such silly TV shows reflect the craziness we achieved in this society, so of course no whatever money it brings. -
Maybe the problem is we're all just not silly enough.
-
My life is like a reality show, why would I want to join a reality show I'm already there just not on TV.
-
No, no, a thousand times no! I don't even watch them. And it's not that I'm not silly enough — those shows are not silly, they're inane. Anyway, I agree with lisleman: if I want attention, I post something, silly or otherwise, on my blog.

I sometimes get the urge to apply for The Apprentice so that there would be a competent person on that bloody show...and then at the end tell Sir Alan Sugar to shove his job up his arse!
-
That'd be difficult. His head is already lodged up there.
-
Not that he'd hire me anyway...I'm of childbearing age..
-
@Siuil
And sorry, you're not sufficiently a wanker to win that contest. -
hmm...I'm sure I could be unbearably obnoxious for a few month...easy!
-
@Siuil
All right then, we'll have to get you a wardrobe of "power suits" and silk blouses. And repeat after me:
"Never feel sorry for anybody."
"Never feel sorry for anybody."
"Never feel sorry for anybody."
Now practice the, "I'm a sex kitten but too ruthless to be available to anyone other than Ghengis Khan" look. -
I'm pretty sure I can manage that!
-
@Siuil
Even the "power suits" bit? -
maybe I could be like that woman last year who always wore berets...she got to the final four!
-
@Siuil
You do realise that you'd have to give up your favourite hobby to make it to the final...namely, procrastinating. -
nonsense! they only have to do one task a week!
-
@Siuil
Which you would likely wait until 11 PM on Saturday to accomplish. -
hmm
-
Is there an Apprentice in England?
-
yup...not Donald Trump...it's Sir Alan Sugar
-
-
I think it's a great thing for people to make perfect idiots of themselves. Humiliation is growth.
-
I want my own reality show! My classroom is prime material for it! lol, now to sell it to Hollywood,,,,hummm I need an agent -
I would, but not just any show. However, there are a few I'd go on, given the opportunity. Not for the money, but the experience itself. And also because I love games.
The Amazing Race is one of them. It tests you on a multitude of levels simultaneously: physically, mentally, it requires resourcefulness, an ability to constantly adapt, strategy, and all that while you get to travel all over the world? Hell yeah, I'd go on that one!
Another one I would love to go on is Survivor. Unfortunately, I wouldn't last half-an-hour on Survivor. I HATE camping, so forget about sleeping on a beach with no toilet for a month. I'd likely get murdered by my tribemates before the first tribal council.
So I'd have to settle for Big Brother. A house with a pool, I think I could handle.
I just LOVE the mental aspect of these "Last person standing" type games. It's all about strategy, manipulation, allying with the right people at the right time, observing, listening, reading between the lines... I think you'd get to learn a lot about yourself in a situation where you have to learn to deal with a bunch of strangers.
The last show is the Mole. It's been taken off the air quite a long time ago, but again, it involved much strategy, listening, observing... It looked like a lot of fun. -
NO!!!!! except you just gave me an AWESOME! Idea,oh my lord!!! I'm gonna start documenting me trying to get my CONGRESSIONAL INVITE (if I can find someone to let me borrow their camera)
MAN! THANK U SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for this thread WILL(do u go by will,that's my little bro's name)-
Sort of like Roger & Me?
-
-
no way in heck! uh, huh. Nope! -
The Amazing Race is probably the only one I'd be semi-interested in, but I know I wouldn't survive the first leg of it.
So ... no. -
I have done reality tv (not by choice) and to be honest its so staged that it should really be called "virtual reality" tv -
I'll bet you all money that in the very near future - my life - my current situation - WILL BE BROADCAST.
I do hope it isn't reality TV... It'll probably be more like Jerry Springer... LMAO!
Anyhow - yeah - I wouldn't want it to happen, but for some reason - I believe it probably will.
My life reads like a John Grisham Novel right now. And I'm absolutely serious. It sucks. -
Nope And you will never catch me watching them!!!!!!!
I think my life has enough drama! -
Ugggh im just reminded now about the worst show on tv at the moment:
New Zealands next top model, look it up on youtube - Im so embarrassed to be a kiwi when I see those dropkicks on the tv screen.-
Oh they can't be any worse than America's Next Top Model. This whole exporting TV shows around the world is so bizarre.
French Idol "Nouvelle Star" was horrific. -
No, I mean seriously NZNTM is really bad - and their accents are really "typical" and backwards sounding. Its really embarrassing
-
Most of the girls on ANTM speak atrociously and barely have high school educations. The smarter ones, invariably are voted off for being too bitchy. Bitchy being code for college grad.
-
-
Hey,I like nz accents! I used to date a guy from nz!
It's soooooooooooo cute!-
Yeah but these are REALLY bad, like they have a mouthful of marbles and they're really high pitched too. There's also one that I'm convinced must have a slight retardation.
But its a direct rip off of the US version except the head judge is called Sara instead of Tyra. So they all yell out "Sara-mail" Ughhh!!
-
-
Someone wanted me to do Apprentice before but I wasn't interested. No one ever comes out looking good on those shows; can't be worth it.
Though I would love to say just once, "I'm not here to make friends..." :-) -
Depends on reality. For example Project Runway, why not. Idols, have seriously considered it, but missed my window as I got too old. (I would have killed for a chance in Idols when I was younger, but they weren't there yet.) Think you can Dance, if I could (dance better), I would totally go. Top Model, if I was a model, I totally would. Big Brother? No. Batchelor? If I was single, I might just for laughs.
An ex boyfriend of mine was on the Finnish version of Apprentice, and it totally kick started his career even though he didn't win. Because of that show, he is sooo not short of money or work assignments even today and it's been years. He also got the reputation of the most irritating asshole alive - which is not an inaccurate description of him if you don't like the type. He knew exactly what he was doing and irritated just the right people.
An acquaintance went on the Finnish version of Joe the Millionaire, and was booted out the first episode and came out looking like the air head she rally was. -
Most reality shows I don't watch. I like project runway.. because I sew for a living and would love to be a part of some of their jobs/contests. But most of the time my life is too much reality as it is.. why add more drama.. Tho I have seriously been thinking about writing it all down and sending it to some of the soap operas.. lol! -
Car crash TV I call it. There's no hiding place. No I couldn't do it. I also question the sanity of Big Brother contestents (they know they're going to get stitched up but they do it anyway) I guess this sort of thing appeals to attention seeking types. But the few who can turn this media attention to their advantage go on to do very well while they are of public interest. Until the media turn against them -
Here's a perspective based in personal experience: www.rational-outrage.com/2008040125/cultural-outrage/what-does-reality-real...
-
I wish I could. The Real World hasn't accepted me yet though -
I would love to do Big Brother. I think I have the perfect sweetness vs. nastiness ratio needed to win. -
I do not watch alot of reality shows, but I would go on the Apprentice, a show where skills are actually used. Donald Trump, if you are reading this, just shoot me an email. -
Sure, I'd do some. But not others.
