Reality TV: People On Camera Getting Real (Mostly Real Dumb)

Even with places like Youtube, we still turn on our TV to see the best and worst of America (if not the world) try to live with each other with a camera in their faces constantly. Either for cash, fame or a sweet place to stay at for a few months. Mostly everyone has at least one favorite series if not a channel.

Do you get your fix from the non-cable networks?

Maybe you go for the more sophisticated offerings off of Bravo?

Don't forget about TruTV's shows, despite a few of them apparently being more recreation then reality.

Or does the current crop pall in comparison to the old-school?
I'm sure I missed a few in the box, so name your particular slice-of-life broadcast poison and spread it around for all to enjoy.

we talkin' bout franz ferdinand up in here?
super relevant
I mean, it's no wonder so many of them would get so mad, when they're blatantly misled up to that point.
But then, that's the risk you take when you sign on for that.
We can only go up from this.
Like Holmes on Homes, that guy always finds a million problems and you wonder how anyone lives in their houses
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
America's best dance crew starts tonight!
is there any more apt depiction of america?
Forgot I heard about RuPaul having a reality show.
Ok, kids shouldn't be saying that at that age. Even if it's cute or precocious, just...no no...
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
storage wars is only watchable because Barry is so awesome
the texas one is just blah
yes I have developed some kind of addiction to these shows. my brother and sister-in-law are remodeling their bathroom and I am way too excited about it. I got to take out a wall!
Oh man, BATH CRASHERS
All throwing toilets out windows and stuff
at least 2 TVs are set to them at all times during the day
I am slowly dying, people
Oh my god this is terrifying.
She looks like a creepy doll come to life.
I really love some of the reality shows over here in the UK, Masterchef, The Great British Bake Off, The Apprentice, all good fun.
mensch let's elope
sorry campion
I loved Bake-Off too! My favourite was the one with the crazy eyes!
Thank goodness for subtitles in the above video.
Also I can't stop watching those serious reality shows, like first 48, intervention, my strange addiction, hoarders, etc. I don't actively seek them out but when I'm channel surfing and see those shows on, especially in marathon form, it's game over
I am particularly averse to reality shows, but I have to admit that what little I saw seemed pretty funny
My favourite was everyone that messed up by dropping things.
Or the one lady who wrote the wrong thing on her sachertorte?
Or...the squirrel.
NSFW, maybe? I guess.
Ha! Yes she wrote "Sasha" and good for her just said... "Whoops! Ahahahahaha!"
Oh lordly I'd forgotten the squirrel!
edit: Edited for NSFW preview image!
yeah this show is hilarious. my favorite reality show is probably the voice but only because of cee-lo green and christina aguilara's hilarious tits
Love me some snarky chef comments
Charlie Brooker described that show as an insidious al Qaeda recruitment video
I love me some Storage Wars. You're right, Barry is the best part. It's always fun seeing what random ass henchman or gag he's going to bring to each episode.
I haven't tried to watch the Texas edition, despite being a Texan. The one episode I saw was ok.
Chopped, Iron Chef/America, Hell's Kitchen, Worst Cooks, MasterChef, etc.
As far as other reality, I'll watch So You Think You Can Dance, The Voice, and American Idol... but the singing ones generally get boring after the auditions.
Barry, and the ever present game of "Is Darrell actually going to buy something this week?"
I don't know if Top Chef/Chopped/etc count as reality TV, but I enjoy those. I don't want to like Chopped, but I end up watching anyways.
Amazing Race lost me a couple seasons back, and now I feel like the producers manipulate the outcomes. My suspension of disbelief has been broken. I only watch when they go somewhere cool.
yuuuuuup
we have very similar reality tv habits! I love the dramatic music and obviously edited reaction shots in chopped
