Yep, US is the country where an nipple is enough to cause big publicy. 
In Sweden it wouldn't have been that big. 
Yep, it all started with Robinson. Then it was exported as Survivor, then Big brother came and... personally I don't like reality shows. Becuse I have more fun starting the game The sims and then turn on Free will, and watch that. |

There's nothing even remotely 'real' about any of those reality shows. No one will ever do an actual 'reality' show because they'd be taping a person getting up, taking a shower (censors will have a field day with this), making breakfast, eating it, and then...it's off to work they go. It would be way too boring and too much like everybody else's life, so who would anyone watch that when they could LIVE it. |

"Reality" TV is really pointless. I dont need to watch a dating service or an "Extreme makeover" These kinds of things dont happen in real life, so I dont see why they are called "reality" shows in the first place.
The worst part is, is half my classmates watch these shows, mainly the girls. "OMG DUDE GUY GOT VOTED OFF THE ISLAND" I dont care, thank you very much  . I dont have anything against them, just the things they talk about..... |

Reality shows suck. I'm tired of seeing shows where they do you over with all this cosmetic crap. They just need to stop with that. We already have enough self consicous (sp?) people in America, we don't need anymore. Now everyone thinks they need to look like a model to be excepted by everyone.
All these dating shows are played out. On one of them, I think it's the Bachlor. One of the women are spies. There's no point in watching them. |

Blame sweden for the reality shows, because "we" invented the first Robinson, or as it's called in the us, "Survivor". Tv has gone downhill from -97.
And on Big Brother here in sweden, people have sex in front of the cameras, drinks until they cant stand up any more, and so on.

Ever since Survivor 1 (yeah it's sad they have numbers to them), reality TV has gone downhill like a rollercoaster.
There are a few ok to good ones, but then there are always nuggets. |

There was a reality show in the UK, kinda like The Batchelorette in the US, where a group of guys compete for this one woman. At the end of the show, when one winner is left, and he is most likely in love with the woman and all, it is revealed to the competitors that the woman is actually a male transvestite.
That is going too far, if you ask me. |

No it didn't it sounded stupid who would actually watch migests marriing midgets. Its basically discrimination there making fun of midgets which isn't funny.
Its kinda like Average Joe it just putting people down. Like you can marry this ugly person or chose one of our hot guys. Thats not fun to watch. |

I think that reality shows jumped the shark when they did the one on FOX with the midgets.
For every good one, there's 3-5 bad or unwatchable ones to go along with it. |

LoL
The SomerZ: I reckon they are going too far getting viewers to watch their shows, like they say if you call now or vote now or put your name down now, you will win a prise like, money or so forth...
And i wouldn't have a clue either were FallenWarrior32 got the simpsons from, but can you just imagine the simpsons being live
And we don't have UPN in australia what does it stand for? |

I think he wanted to mention a show that was on after 6pm which was not a Reality Show, not realizing that blackfire's comment about there only being Reality Shows after 6pm was only a mild exaggeration. Besides, I doubt they get UPN in Australia.
And it really doesn't bother me whether or not they recycle a show. If I see a show and I like it, I might see the next season. If I don't like the next season, then I'll stop watching that show. What bothers me, though, is that it seems to me that Reality Shows are maybe going a little bit too far in breaking taboos to get viewers. At least further than I would like them to go. |

To right to both of you. But i must say who in there right mind would watch these kinds of shows. They get very boring after the first couple of episods.
Getting back to the cosmetic surgery thing there was a realitiy TV show, that was metioned on the news a couple of days ago, that let a 16 year old girl make herself look exactly like Pamilar Anderson right down to the big boobs. It liturally looked like she had a very large watermellon under her shirt.

Surviver is boring now... i mean the first few were excellent but after several survivers it gets boring and very anoying
And they do have a certain age limit for plastic surgery, but i have heard in some countries you could find a 18 year old on one of these shows |
