I like American Idol, Nanny 911 (although if I was Nanny I'd be kickin' some parents *ss along with their kids a**es). Hate Rock of Love and can't believe their going for a 3rd. I like Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch, but just don't get people airing their dirty laundry on TV, like the Kardashians... whats up with that? Who cares? and that Tia Tequila (???) Big Brother??? all the whispering and coniving...don't get it. People are cheapening themselves.
I think the whole reality thing is getting "old". I remember when tv consisted only of dramas and sitcoms. There are hardly any sitcoms anymore! Eventually, the pendulum will swing again and something will replace all these reality shows and we'll just be left with a few (hopefully just the good ones!)
My son and I started watching the very first Survivor episode. It was mildly interesting; the physically challenges were different. Then they went to the circle in the woods, and the first thing the host said was "This is sacred ground". My son & I looked at each other, changed the channel, and we haven't watched any so-called reality show since.
I don't mind them so much. What I am tired of is those shows with judges have to have at least one snotty Brit on the panel. It started with Simon on American Idol now it seems you can't have a show without one.
I like some reality shows but the ones where the viewers vote annoy me because it turns it into a popularity contest. Right now the only shows like that I really watch are So You Think You Can Dance and America's Next Best Dance Crew. I do enjoy some of the home shows like Clean House or Flip This House but I don't consider those reality shows. I tried watching Baldwin Hills once but it thoroughly aggravated me

I think Simon saw how popular Anne Robinson (The Weakest Link) was and figured HE'D be the perfect male counterpart.
To me, the reality shows are like infomercials.... if you tune in, it's hard to change the channel sometimes & you end up hooked. I try to avoid them like the plague. lol
The only reality show that I think is worthwhile & watch regularly is "Intervention." Some of the others are entertaining & I'll watch them once in a while but way too many are pure garbage. The studios are so lazy & cheap now, they'll pass ANYTHING off as entertainment these days.

I would take Anne over Simon any old day!
