Canadian Idol and American Idol are the only Reality TV shows I watch and I must admit that I love them! I love listening to music...

What is that TV show about? A bunch of people race around the world to get to all these different places and the last couple/pair to get there is eliminated until there are 3 couples left in the race and the first one there at the end wins 1 million dollars. Here is a link to last seasons show www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race4/show/episode01/ar4story01.shtml

LOL the only one I can stand is Idol, really... mainly because there's nothing else on I could never stand Big Brother though, that just irritated me... Now what would you class Queer Eye for the Straight Guy under, though? I see it more as an upbeat lifestyle show, really... I suppose that's still reality though, but it's hilarious ... and the stuff they come up with (especially Thom, the interior designer), is really quite good...

LOL yeah I don't think Queer Eye is really a reality tv show...I saw the ads for it over here, I'm gonna have to watch it! ;D As for proper reality tv shows...I watch Pop Idol when it's on over here (gotta love Simon Cowell ) and I think it's good. (Gareth Gates! I don't like his singing but he's a cutie) I watched one Big Brother, the 2nd one, but I think they're on like, the 5th one over here and there's just no point anymore. Me and my mum watched 'I'm a celebrity...get me out of here!' when Sid Vicious was on it cos he rocks but that's about as much reality tv as I watch. I think it's gone a bit too far in most cases

I think that the first instalments of these shows are ok, because they start off being innovative and fresh. But they've been going for years now, with up to 5 or more seasons, and it's just so boring now. I don't care about what some nobody is doing in some house with a bunch of other nobodies, and then they get like a million bucks for sitting on their backsides and doing nothing and letting the nation vote on who should win or lose I'm thinking... can we spend this million bucks on a show that doesn't suck, maybe?

Hmmm... Some certain shows I like others are just plain stupid and then others have run their course and have made such a buzz that the producers and channels try to make them again but then it sucks like the second time aroun dor whatever.

Liek Joe Millionaire it was great the first time around and that's all it needed one time around. The second Joe Millionaire just ruined the essence of it. Then all these Bachelor shows that they try to throw twists and stuff in and it's all weird and stuff.

Yeah I know, it's annoying... Once you've seen it once, you know what will happen, so there's no point in it happening again... Also Reality Radio, that sucks too. Recently one of the stations here had a wedding thing where the bride and groom had never met one another Well you can pretty much guess where that headed. They got married and got divorced about 2 days later Now who didn't see that coming But honestly, what a waste of time? Marriage is supposed to mean something and have a point to it... they've just used it for publicity, and that's pretty dodgy and sick, in a way...

I agree. They keep manipulating marriage. And dating too! I mean you've got beautiful women and hot guys as the contestants...why the hell do they have problems finding a date?!

It's all quite sad, really... LOL! They can't get a date in "real life" so they go on stupid "reality" shows to get something
