The WORST Reality TV Show
on: June 12, 2006, 05:14:59 AM
Imo, reality shows SUCK ARSE big time(in my opinion!), but just curious as too which one you penists think is the worst.
I'm only listing the most popular international ones.  (coz there's probably shite loads more I never heard of that don't get seen internationally) but list any that i've forgotten and i'll add them.

i hate survivor, but big brother wins hands down. hate that show with a passion. now they've got some celebrity singing thing on- non-singers team up with a singer and sing duos and get eliminated- one thing worse than idol is listening to people who can't sing full stop!

Survivor isn't a reality tv show, it's a game show.  I hate reality tv.

American Idol  Lifeless singers singing boring songs with sappy arrangements.  My family loves it. :P

Seriously, the 'rocker' sang a Creed song.  To quote Somethingawful, 'Creed rocks as hard as brunch with Grandma.'  It would've been hilarious if he had something really hard.  Maybe some Slayer, Mastodon, or Meshuggah.

Surprisingly though, So You Think You Can Dance(the dance equivalent) is quite fun to watch.

The only thing worth watching in the idol show is the most crappy singers in the first episode. They are so pathetic :D

I voted for Big brother. I still can't se HOW THE F*** CAN CREATING THESE SHOWS BE PROFITABLE? I mean, get real, everyone I know hates reality tv so I can't imagine anyone actually watching them.

Yep. I hate it. I can't believe how little dignity the people who go on it have. They'll do absolutely anything to get 10 minutes of fame. And they're all absolutely slated in the press once they come out, anyway, so christ knows why they bother. It's so sad that all these idiots want from life is fame and adulation. It's just egotism, and everyone who watches Big Brother just feeds their vastly inflated egos. And the number of people who try to get in there is pathetic. The more stupid you are, the further the depths to which you're willing to sink, and the bigger the mouth you have, the most chance you have of getting on it. I can't believe anyone's interested in watching these losers.

Average Joe - is that the one where all the gals think he's a millionaire?

one of my friends (who was male ???) said the appeal of BB was hearing what other people had to say and not intruding on their conversation coz it would be rather odd to evesdrop.  What do I care what a bunch of fame-hungry morons have to say? If I'm interested in the conversation or person, I'll talk to the person.

no, that's joe millionaire.  average joe is when the guy is average looking, but the girls fall for him after getting to know him.  In some months after the show finishes, we read in a newspaper about how they broke up.... some things that shouldnt matter, but they do anyway

I like "The Bachelor" because there's no prize money, which makes it more romantic -all about finding the love of your life-, and the locations are always beautiful.

the stupidest show was "Unan1mous" imo

reality tv can only ever be as good as reality.

the oldest 'reality tv' format is the news, which is boring, right?

i really enjoy big brother, its just a quality show

i saw the US version and it was a completely different deal, the UK show is more about personality, its alot more random and less competitive/strategic.

glyn is my fav housemate, quite a legend

pretty close to what donjuan said, but in the one i saw the lady though she was meeting 20 studs, instead they were 20 nerds and fat blokes, not very handsome in the least even to my eyes as a guy.
she was shocked when she saw them, haha.
she got really close to a few of the average joes, but the show took a twist and threw in 4 real studs, naturally she chose the hot guy in the end that she sucked face with the whole time, not the average joe with a nice personality.
it was really funny, for her looks were everything.

I love the old Star Academy!

American Idol, Pop Idol, etc are not that great...

I only tolerate them singing ones since I love singing myself and appreciate them voices *grin*

However, normally, I hate reality TV shows, especially Big Brother.

I think I saw that one... but then after choosing the hot guy, she told him about how she used to date Fabio, and then the guy was angry and left her with nothing

I'll pick two worst of the worst:

1. The Apprentice (with the Donald "Dump")
2. America's Top Model

True mental poison. What in the world is wrong with America?

Oh well, my mate showed me these shows and I watched a couple of episodes.
That's how I knew how bad taste they are  ;)

Is this directed at me or PeterHK? I never said I watch them - it's a bit hard not to know what they are when they're on every night and everbody talks about it!
