Following American Idol for a single season is the farthest into watching any of them as I've ever gotten.
Never understood the appeal.

I enjoyed the early times of them. They were fresh and new (The first season of MTV's The Real World)...
Then one by one, so many popped up, it got more and more trashy...
Now?

I've ranted plenty about them before but I will gladly rant again. YES I HATE THEM. I don't even want to list them because there's way too damn many and they all need to go away.

Amazing Race is closer to being reality. I think that's really the problem with reality TV - there isn't much real about them.

they basically ruined television as I knew it. when I was a kid i watched the history channel, discovery channel, and learning channel all the time. but once the real world hit and every network picked up reality shows the once good and holy networks did as well.
with that said there is something legitimate to them. sometimes it is like people watching even though the circumstances are so heavily manipulated.

Yeah, I guess there has been the rare exception... Amazing Race, the occasional Dog Whisperer or cooking show but the scripted sudo reality crap without some purpose behind it I can't stomach.

The television only shows what you want to see. That being said I love Jersey Shore, Dual Surival, Survivorman, and I used to watch Real World back in high school.

You should explore your viewing options. Or maybe it is that your options are that limited... this needs to be fixed.

I don't mind the talent competition shows (_______'s Got Talent, X Factor, American Idol, etc)...I do not like Survivor at all. I watched the first season off and on, but it was too cheesy.
the other stuff, I totally agree (jersey shore, real world, all of those real housewives crap)...I just don't see how people can know that with their watching it, the retards on the show are getting paid. Making it possible for more of the same crap shows to be made. I mean, how can you even watch a preview of jersey shore and think "WOW, I want to watch that!"???? It makes me gag a little when I see previews for some of those.

I agree with everything so far, and agree that with competition shows, they have been compromising most of those as well.

yeah I dont mind the "creative" editing that some shows do where they can make someone look like the good guy or bad guy(mainly the latter) what I hate is when they get people to redo fights or something like that or add in a fight where there wasnt one. Or make a situation out to be worse than it was to begin with. If it wanted to watch something thats that made up I would just watch a regular show like Glee or Law and Order.

It cannot be a reality show if people know they are being filmed. End of discussion. There are no reality shows. Guys would be jacking off half the time and everyone would be picking their nose. The idea that someone could act natural with a camera crew around them is so stupid its funny.

I hate most of them...and even the ones I do occasionally watch, like American Idol, have things I hate...like where they show the contestants sobbing about how they had to overcome hardships and now they're hoping a chance at winning will help them save their family blah blah blah, or where they air the auditions of people who suck. I just want to hear talented people sing.
