Reality TV: Shows I Have Not Watched...
Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 08:03 AM by arwalden
Survivor.
American Idol.
Scare Tactics.
Fear Factor.
The Bachelor (and its copycat versions)
That Donald Trump Show (can't remember its name)

I'm sure that there are others... but these are the ones I see advertised a lot.

P.S. I have watched two episodes of "Mad Mad House" though. Someone slap me.

1. The ONLY one I ever watched
all the way through was Love Cruise. I saw a couple episodes of the second Temptation Island and decided I'd had enough of reality TV.

2. Same here. And "The Swan" is an unusually vile abomination.
Christ, as soon as I think Fox can't get any lower with their reality shows, they outdo themselves.

4. Allen, Allen, Allen...
How could you, a person of obvious intelligence, watch Mad, Mad House? Not to worry though, we can fix you, might take a while for the repairs to be completed...now just lie back while I attach these little wires to your head...:evilgrin:

8. I know... I know.
Thanks for the compliment.

I kind of surprised myself too. I kept asking myself "what-am-i-doing?" and saying "look-away!-look-away-now!".

But... there's something strangely attractive about Art. And the naturist who calls himself 'Avacado' is oddly fascinating too.

I'm deeply disturbed. That's got to be it. There is no other explanation.

5. The Joe Schmoe show was kind of interesting.
Where everyone was an actor besides Joe Schmoe. I watched 3 episodes of the first big brother, and when I figured out who was going to win, I stopped watching. I only watched to mess with the head of a friend of mine.

They're just not my cup of tea.

6. Reality Shows I've watched
Real World & Road Rules: But I've been watching these since before there was a "Reality TV" genre.

Survivor

Temptation Island but only the 2nd season. They had T2 in the area of Costa Rica where I had vacation, so I was really watching it to see that area again. They even went to places I had visited (although mind you, I wasn't making out with a total stranger under a waterfall - not that I wouldn't have minded).

That's it.

That's my brain candy.

7. "Queer Eye" Is A Reality Show... Isn't It?
If so... then I'm guilty of watching that one often too.
