What reality tv shows do you watch?...

[one_voice]

I'm not big on reality tv, but I do watch...

Hell's Kitchen/Kitchen Nightmares...probably because I think it's funny to see someone drop the *f* bomb as much as I do. :D

Top Chef...I've never watched an entire season, but I do watch from time to time. Marathons usually.

American Idol... I know, I know.. this is embarrassing.

Dancing with the starts.. ditto from above.

Moving up, flip this house, and a few more like that.

How about you?

1. This post is not for people that are offended by swear words.

I try not to swear because it offends people, but this clip is pretty funny.

21. English Dictionary video...

funny stuff. :-)

[blue neen]

2. So You Think You Can Dance.

I love it. It's two hours of total enjoyment where I can forget about my troubles! The dancers and choreographers are so very talented. :)

[Bennyboy]

3. Survivor, Amazing Race and Big Brother...

Love em yes i do. Got hooked on Big Bro during the Evil Dick season..

[one_voice]

6. The only season I've ever watched..

of Big Brother was the Evil Dick season. My husband watches that, I'd usually read or something when it was on, but that season it got me. :-)

[carlyhippy]

4. Rock of Love, if you would consider that a reality show ha

guilty pleasure, too bad he didn't keep on going.

[Mojambo]

5. Kenny vs Spenny. That's it.

That's the only reality show anyone should ever watch.

[RandomThoughts]

7. I really love this song, and the great singer that Tracy Chapman is.

It speaks about reality, and dreams, and hopes, and heart.

8. None n/t

[femmocrat]

9. Just the "talent show" ones:

American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing With the Stars, America's Got Talent. They are a nice break from news and politics sometimes.

There was a really good one a couple of years ago-- Rock Band (?)-- I wish they would bring that one back.

[lazarus]

10. Survivor, Amazing Race

We're watching Survivor from South Africa right now. Also watch Top Chef, Project Runway, Hell's Kitchen, Top Shots, Pawn Stars, and Deadliest Catch (if you want to count those last two).

We're trying to watch Next Food Network Star, but it's a bit too painful to see people flop on camera like that, so we may just give it up. We gave up Big Brother during the Evil Dick season when it became obvious that production was fucking with the show.

[AsahinaKimi]

11. None

Don't have a tv. All my stuff I watch is on the net. I wonder, though. Would Sports be considered a Reality tv show?

[Curmudgeoness]

12. Is Whale Wars a reality show? If so, that has been it.

I just can't wait for this "reality" craze to be over. A few good comedies would be good for me.

[Forkboy]

13. So You Think You Can Get Away With Skipping This Month's Payment is a big fave of mine.

[Zavulon]

14. None.

I tried the one with standup comics once, but it sucked - not a single laugh in the entire half hour. So ended my sole 30-minute stint with reality shows.

As for the "talent" ones, I would rather be in a coma than watch any of them for so much as a second, especially American Idol. Singers with bad haircuts banging out bad songs in an overhyped Karoake contest is REALLY not for me.

[charlie and algernon]

15. Top Chef and Work of Art

[Flaxbee]

16. Top Chef, Work of Art (though it is getting annoying very fast), and Project Runway

And I have been known to watch parts of RuPaul's Drag Race :D

[denbot]

23. Same here, but Alley and I like work of art..

Top Chef and Top Chef Masters rate up there with Project Runway.

[denbot]

24. I forgot about American Pickers, and Pawn Stars

Cool stuff..

[Sisaruus]

17. None

I recently had a crush on my mother's surgeon who happened to tell me he watches Dancing with the Stars. I figured if we got married that I'd have to take ownership of the remote control.

I'm still single. Go figure.

[rurallib]

18. Is Hannity reality?

[one_voice]

22. Torture.

I used to watch Hannity, could barely tolerate him. Then he went completely over the edge, I couldn't take him anymore.

[applegrove]

19. I used to watch Dog the Bounty Hunter until the scandal. The show had everything: a chase and then

a sorta redemption at the end.

[Bennyboy]

20. Deadliest Catch and Cash Cab too....

In my dreams I am flagging old Ben down on 5th avenue... Then I tell him how close our names are and his mind is blown and I win a buck or two and have a wonderful NYC adventure on the money!

And the whole Deadliest catch/Phil/his kids thing was captivating...

[XemaSab]

25. True Beauty

It's the most vapid show ever, but it's good for the lulz.

[Skittles]

26. none - it's all shit

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. Design Star, So You Think You Can Dance, Storm Chasers, Holmes on Homes...

[Initech]

28. One of my good friends is gonna be on the next season of Hell's Kitchen.

[LeFleur1]

30. I'm With Skittles. :) nm

[dana_b]

34. my daughter watches that one

Gordon Ramsay drives me nuts.

What is your friend's first name? I'll tell her to watch out for him/her.

[Initech]

42. Well the show hasnt aired yet.

My friend Lou is gonna be on the show on the next season. It's already been taped but they go through the next season of Kitchen Nightmares then the next season of Hell's Kitchen is the one he's gonna be on.

[one_voice]

49. That's pretty cool..

I watch every season so I'll keep an eye out for him. We had a friend who owns a Tai resturant, and tried out but he didn't make it.

Good luck to your friend!

[Initech]

50. From what he's told me it sounds like he didnt make it very far.

But he did get some bad ass consolation prizes.

[csziggy]

29. Mythbusters, Meteorite Men, American Pickers, Dirty Jobs

I've watched some episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, but I preferred his other show more - don't remember the name, but it was more educational and not as confrontational.

I've never watched an episode of American Idol or any of those amateur hour type shows. Watched a few of the Iron Chef episodes, but they really do not appeal to me much.

Mythbusters appeals to me because of the debunking, nod to physics and the humor. Meteorite Men is kind of cool - watching the guys go out and hunt for meteorites and learn more about how they fall and how to locate them. American Pickers is neat because its what I like to do - go out and find bargains that someone else thought was trash. And Dirty Jobs is fun because he gets into crap - literally - and I get to learn about jobs I never thought about.

Maybe those are not what you mean by reality shows, but they are as close as I will get.

[Odin2005]

31. American Idol, that's it.

The rest are crap.

[flvegan]

32. Whale Wars, Pit Boss, Last Chance Highway, Pitbulls and Parolees

All on Animal Planet.

[dana_b]

35. I saw that Pitbulls and Parolees show

it made me cry!! lol

I forgot that I also watch Dogtown and sometimes Dog Whisperer. Lots of pits. :)

[flvegan]

37. Argh! I forgot Dogtown.

I find that woman/org on PB&P to be amazing.

[one_voice]

47. oh yeah...

I forgot about Dogtown I watch that too, and I've seen Pit Bulls and Parolees, and Last Chance Highway. My mom watches Pit Boss, I want to see it but I keep forgetting to check when it's on.

I used to watch Rescue Ink, is that on still? I also like It's Me or the Dog. I like shows about dogs/animals/critters. I've started watching Nat Geo Wild recently.

[dana_b]

33. Top Chef and Project Runway

My daughter and I watch Top Chef together and I'll watch Project Runway if I remember that it's on.

[woo me with science]

36. Used to enjoy Hell's Kitchen, but it has gotten a lot cruder than it used to be

to the point that we don't enjoy it anymore. We watch some Top Chef now, even though I find the judges stuffy and unlikable.

We watch American Idol after the competition is down to 10 or so. ONly the performances, though, and we read who won the next day. Too much filler in the results shows.

We watched some Last Comic Standing, but there is only one guy so far we really like. It'll be interesting to check in again later and see if he makes it to the finals.

That's all I can think of.

[Phentex]

43. Do yo ever watch Kitchen Nightmares?

Ramsey seems far more respectable on that series than Hell's Kitchen. I can't watch HK anymore because I can't take all the berating of the cooks.

[woo me with science]

48. I guess maybe it's harder

to trash someone entirely when you have to develop a personal relationship with them. It's not just Ramsey berating the chefs that I dislike on Hell's Kitchen, though. They seem to be trying hard to find contestants with strong personalities that conflict with each other, but they increasingly come across as rude and hateful people with filthy mouths.

I did see one episode of Kitchen Nightmares, but was turned off by the fact that Ramsey traced all the restaurant's difficulties to some hypothesized deep personal problems in the family and ended up doing some ridiculous and exploitative "tough love" amateur therapy crap with them. Maybe I just caught a particularly bad episode. At least on Top Chef they focus on the cooking.

[bigwillq]

38. Amazing Race

Dancing with the Stars. Sometimes American Idol, when it gets to the later rounds.
I do watch shows such as Clean House, Intervention, Deadliest Catch. Are those considered reality TV?

[a kennedy]

39. My life on the D list with Kathy Griffith............just the best....and ditto to

Dancing with the Stars...Amazing Race, Survivor, Top Chef, Project Runway, Cash Cab, which received an Emmy both for the show and host, Ben Baily, to name a few.

[av8rdave]

40. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I sometimes watch Pawn Stars on the History Channel

I'm sure I'll tire of it quickly, but it's a fun show, and I enjoy seeing some of the stuff people bring in.

The show also reminds me that some people are in really difficult situations. You often see someone accept so little for a valuable item, even when presented with a valid appraisal. That part is sad, but overall the program is pretty interesting.

[pink-o]

41. House Hunters International...

c'mon, you all know you watch it too! This week they're doing Australia week. I'll be glued to HGTV, I tell ya!

[Phentex]

44. Real Housewives...

It's crap but it's funny.

I like Moving Up, too. It's interesting to see the attitudes people have about OTHER people's tastes. Some are complimentary of everything and some hate all of it. I think it's an example of the half empty/half full nature of people.

[TreasonousBastard]

45. Bridezillas, on occasion, but my favorite is "You're Cut Off"

[auntAgonist]

46. none. n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

51. Design Star and Project Runway and also Throwdown with Bobby Flay

I don't HAVE to see them but, I will watch them before I choose other things.
