[Scott]

These are some new reality show coming up soon. What do you think of them?

THE MAD HOUSE

MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS WEDDING

THE APPRENTICE

[daveblackeye15]

My Big fat obnoxious wedding..is that suppose to cash in on My Big Fat Greek Wedding by any chance? Another one you should have metion was, hold on I fogot the name, it's a reality show about airports and it's security team. That one sounds kind of interesting.

You are writing about "Airline".  Even though it is a 1/2 hour comercial for Southwest Airlines, I enjoy it.  It's like watching the worst singers on American Idol.  You just want to tune in to see how bad it gets.

[trekgeezer]

The only reality show I really enjoy is American Chopper on Discovery. Paul Tuetle  is hoot .  If you haven't seen it  try to tune in.

I ignore the reality shows.
What I want more of is Tremors the series.

No much.  I won't be watching.  My almost 2 year old daughter is all the reality show I need.             ;)

Amen, ulthar

You want reality?  Turn off the TV and spend  time with your family

[Scott]

Reality TV probably isn't the right term for it.

The only recent reality show I got a kick out of was Joe Schmo. I do like watching The Simple Life, though it is obviously pre-planned.

[Scott]

Yea, Joe Schmo was a good one. I seen all the episodes except  the last one.

Of course the original Candid Camera was the greatest "reality" show ever.

You mean they're not really as monumentally stupid as they appear on the show?

AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

S'cuse me while I supress the Grammar Nazi within....

*ahem*

Better now.

As a rule, I ignore Reality shows, and the new ones you mentioned sound as bad, if not worse than, what is already out there.

I got a kick out of Basic Training, and would watch another season.  It was funny, watching all those folks getting yelled at and thinking "These guys wouldn't last a week in the REAL THING."

The best part about Basic Training is that the best person won.  It came down to this complete sleeze and this girl who had been really nice to everyone through the whole thing.  They had this physical competition, and the sleeze beat the stuffin' out of the girl in it.  I lost all hope that she would win...

But then, all the folks that had been kicked out got a chance to vote for who they wanted to win.  In order for the girl to win, they had to all vote for her.  Each one, in turn, voted for the girl, telling her she was great, and telling the sleeze he was a worthless waste of a human being.  She won, the Sleeze went home with nothing, happy ending.

It was awesome.

I hope not. I honestly don't think anyone can be that stupid. LOL

I HATE reality TV shows, for two reasons:

They are invariably watched by stupid people, and the ones in Australia usually incorporate Text Message Voting by the public.

Guess what the biggest group of people with Cellphones in Australia is? (Well, OK, it's everyone, but guess who uses them the most?)

That's right, it's Teeny Boppers aged 12-16. They all vote like crazy, meaning the country's TV entertainment is being dictated by a bunch of 15 year old, fashion obsessed airhead skanks. (Sorry, most of them are.)

As a result, I refuse to watch any reality TV show, with the exception of World Idol- just to see how crap all the contestants were.

The one about Southwest might be interesting.  I hear there are scenes where the attendants have to tell a passenger that he smells too bad to be allowed on the plane, and they have to tell another person that they have to buy two seats.
