Corey Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Because people have not yet figured out that none of the so called reality shows will ever be reality. There is never going to be a situation where someone is stuck on an Island/Australia/Africa/Wherever, with a bunch of other people. Reality TV sucks. Plain and simple.

Ryan Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I don't watch it anymore. Sure, Survivor was good the first season or so, but now it is just boring and stupid. The only reality T.V. I watch is the Real World and Road Rules on MTV. I have watched those for the longest time and I personally think it is cool. Fear Factor is ok, sometimes though.

Semjaza Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Just because you hate it means nothing. They pull in millions and millions of viewers, and that's all a network cares about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShinje Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 [size=1] Well, the only way the networks will stop them is if hte majority of people aint watching them. V_V Until realtiy T.V stops making the networks the serious cash it does, it will not go away. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 It gets worse. I have heard rumors of an "All reality show channel." Just how far will this go? Here is an idea for a reality show. Take all of the producers from Survivor, Joe Millionare and any others and place them in the middle of a "bad" neighborhood covered with all of their fancy clothing, and see how many make it out. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeviLina Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 i think the public likes the un-rehearsed feel they get from shows like that i, myself, don't care for them either heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Almost all of my town was talking about Survivor, when it was on. And then Temptation Island. It's as if the people around here live on the shows. They can't survive without them. If they stop airing reality shows on television, Dubbo's population will be halved. Don't blame me. I hate them too.

XeEmO Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 They're cheap to make and lots of people watch them. I don't like them, you obviously don't like them, but that's not going to stop the millions that do. I didn't even watch the first Survivor because I thought it was boring. The only reality show I watched was Boot Camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crimson Spider Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I don't see anything "Real" about these reality shows. They put these sexy smart popular people in some dumb situation in which they would never have! I like Black-Pheonix's idea. Or better yet, pick up a bunch of dumb, ugly idiots off of the vegas street and force them into a small, locked room with a bathroom and only half as many beds as people with no TV, and all of their food comes through a hole in the wall, where people can order things like cheese burgers and stuff. The show that they put on would be "Real" then. That, or have the camera follow around some nobody 23/7 and have people watch that! Real entertaining! Play videogames, watch TV, listen to music. Talk on the internet... that would be "Real". Or just watch a gameshow or the news. That's real too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrist cutter Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I thought the wave of crappy sitcoms was bad, but all these reality shows are even worse, mostly because they're so overhyped. At least everyone realized the sitcoms were crappy, which is why there are new shows every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I just saw the funniest thing on Comedy Central. Recently they have been making smart-@**ed commercials about reality shows that are completely off the wall. This time it was making fun of "Trading Spaces." The new show was called "Trading Babies." Now there would be an amusing reality show. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 People don't want [i]real[/i] reality TV. If they did, they'd pay attention to their own crappy lives instead. Reality TV's basic idea at this point is putting people in weird unscripted situations (although sometimes I wonder how unscripted any of them are). It's not about following them around their house as they do everyday things. Even the first season of the Real World used rather realistic people, compared to now where people basically must all look perfect and be aspiring to be a movie star or actress. However, the same basic idea is the same. There is nothing [i]real[/i] about sticking a bunch of people who never met in a house knowing they are being taped... no matter how you slice it.

Mist Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [color=crimson][size=1] I think reality T.V. has an appeal because the American public, as a whole, tends to be attracted to controversy and scandal. You can say you hate reality T.V., which is nothing but controversy and scandal, but you can't say that you haven't sat through at least one episode of the Real World and not been like, "Oh my God! Did he really just do [i]that[/i]!?"[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have become predictable and boring. At first they were interesting, but now that the fad has brought out "new" ideas the whole genre is getting kinda stale. If I want to see [i]real[/i] reality TV I can just watch Real TV on TNN. At least I know the images on there are unscripted and not based on some off the wall situation. Anyway, I will never have to worry about the channel. It is either on sat. TV or digital cable (neither of which I have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinken Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 What's really bad is the dating reality tv shows. There's going to be a new one called "Boy meets Boy". Reality TV is running out of ideas, and it's just getting sickening. (Next on NBC: "As the Paint Dries") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
