(no subject)
I hate reality shows. Possibly the only exception is The Surreal Life which I only like because Vanilla Ice is on it and I hear hes always flipping out when they mention his past. So lets take a look at some reality shows shall we:
Survivor
The one that started it all. I admit, I actually watched this back in the day because reality TV was new then and this was something different. Thirty-nine days, 16 castaways on an island, it sounded good in theory. And it worked. I was actually saying "hey doesnt survivor come on tonight" and "hey did you see survivor last night?" And who could forget Richard and all his disturbing nakedness.

American Idol
Hate. I fucking hate this crap. I dont see the appeal in watching people sing, get rated on it, then cry. Thats what pissed me off about this show, too much damn emotion. They even marketed it like that - most of the commercials consisted of women crying because Simon probably told them they sucked. And people buy into it. Real people, really crying, is that what sells these days? And then there are the auditions. I've seen some of them, some of the really bad ones. Some of those guys seemed like they were paid to act so fucking stupid. The one that comes to mind is the asian guy trying to sing cant help falling in love with you. It just seems to good that an asian guy would sing a song that had a lot of L sounds in it. So instead it sounded like "frarring in rov rit you". Too convienient. I condemn American Idol to hell. Its only saving grace is probably the auditions which are sometimes funny but painful to watch.

Are You Hot?
This is just blatant crap. Its a sign of how bad society has gotten. I can see the board meeting now and it goes something like this:
Jimbob: Ok guys we need to think of a show that'll fill in the gaps between NYPD Blue and CSI.
Jack: Hey I know, how about another reality show? They seem to be all the rage these days. Hell, look at the ratings CBS got with survivor !
Jimbob: Thats a super idea jack.
Jack: And we should make it so that it would appeal to a younger demographic. Survivor seemed to be watched by a lot of older folks.
Jimbob: Hmm younger viewers eh? Well what do kids like these days?
Jack: Well I seen my kid watching some MTZ or something yesterday and the videos containted a lot of sexual imagery.
Jimbob: Of course, sex! Everybody loves sex! Lets brainwash the younger generation ever further.
*evil laughs fill the boardroom*
Pat: I got it! Lets make a show that rates people on how sexy they are? Isnt that brilliant? Because I know that todays world is shallow and that looks mean EVERYTHING!
Jimbob: Dammit pat thats the smartest thing you've ever said. Here have some money.
There was nothing good about this show. I really hope that if any advanced civilation was watching from afar, they missed this show because they would probably never talk to us if they did.

Tempation Island
This is how the offical webiste describes the show:
"TEMPTATION ISLAND is an unscripted dramatic series in which unmarried couples travel to an exotic locale to test and explore the strength of their relationships. Once at the location, the couples are introduced to eligible singles and then separated from their partners until the final day of their stay."
You know what I think? I think its shit. Hmm I wonder why they put them in exotic locations? So they could wear less goddamn clothes thats why! And of course all the people on the show are good looking. Anything less would be uncivilized. Oh and you cant forget the women crying. It wouldnt be a reality show without the constant weening.

Joe Millionaire
A bunch of women are flown in to meet this rich guy and compete for his love. But they dont know that hes not really rich! "Like OMG, will they marry him for his money and then divorce him because they find out hes not rich? OMG THIS IS SOOO EXCITING!" Shut your pie hole. So many things wrong with this show. I dont know where to start so im not going to.

The Chair
BAHAHAH. Does anyone remember this tripe? This show was so bad, it was cancelled after 2 or 3 episodes I believe. The Chair requires contestants to be strapped into a chair wearing a heart monitoring device and if their hate rate rises above a certain level, then slowly they lose the money they won from answering questions. Theyd use stuff like "scary animals" and etc to scare them of course. I'll give it credit for being unique and not heavily dependant on sex.

Average Joe
This is my most hated out of all these new reality shows. Once again I quote the official site:
"A stunning beauty queen and former NFL cheerleader moves into a multi-million dollar estate in Palm Springs with the expectation that 16 potential Prince Charmings are arriving to win her heart. But when the men arrive, our beauty finds that the handsome princes are actually Average Joes-guys with great hearts, but admittedly average looks, some even describing themselves as nerds and geeks."
This truly is a sign of how bad things are. Kids are growing up watching this fucking crap and its making them believe that looks are everything. They'll grow up to be shallow cold hearted sluts and that nothing but the perfect looking guy will be good enough for them. From what i've barely seen of the show, there are "hot guy" who compete against the "average joes" now? Horrible. Just horrible. I'd rather watch the news channel. I'd rather watch nothing than this.
So there you have it. I hate it all. The market is oversaturated with this shit and shows no signs of dying down. I cant wait until the 'next big thing' comes around and reality shows die. But theres one thing that I hope never dies.
This guy is the best host for a TV show. Hes been a host for The Price Is Right now for over 30 years. The Price Is Right is hailed as the best game show of all time! I think its time for some gameshows to come back to primetime. And they better not fuck it up by using sex to promote it. Its not that sex is a bad thing, but theres just way too much of it on tv. It just isnt as exciting anymore. Im sure back in the day when they caught on to sex sells, I was glad to see a lot of T&A on TV but now its starting to get dry.
So to sum things up. I hate reality TV. Get some new marketing ideas. Long live Bob Barker. More gameshows in primtime please.
