Voski Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I am writing a paper on reality TV for my English class and I was wondering what you guys think about it. In a majority of the shows I think everyone on the show gets hurt. They look like morons or skanks or do things they normally wouldn't do. But theres no way for anyone to know the actual person so you assume they are who you see running around a house drunk. There are those few shows where it isn't as bad but those tend to be boring. There is a show called "God or the Girl" where they just film a guy trying to decide if he wants to join the church and become a priest or marry his woman and have a family.

ryno Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I personally hate reality tv with a passion. Im pretty sure alot of it is scripted. And i cant beleive all the "looking for love" shows they have on anymore, it really grinds my gears. It just seems ppl get desperate for ratings, and I cant beleive how serious ppl take reality tv anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I don't really like the whole looking for love shows that ryno pointed out either. I have found some interest in watching The Real World: Hollywood. I don't know why I watch it, but it's kinda fun to watch. Other than that, I think that the rest of the shows are pretty scripted and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron molly black Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I like watching Hell's Kitchen because I like watching Gordon Ramsey swear at the contestants, scripted or not. I think it's hilarious. He comes up with the funniest strings of curse words ever!And I like to watch Deadliest Catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajon Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I actually love reality shows. I find the fact that they are so cheezy very entertaining. Also most are scripted, I beleive some like The Real World are not scripted. They just fill up a house with opposite people and load them with alchohol. You also do not get a very good enterpretation of these indiviguals because the producers cut out what they see as boring. They only show the fights, drama, and the stuff that will keep an audience.

Exile Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 All T.V. that isn't live is scripted.I was once interviewed on the local news about this chick getting raped at my school. The reporter was whack. He whipped out this basketball from his van and asked us to pretend like we were playing ball while he approached us with the camera. The whole thing was pretty bogus. He interviewed my buddy and me for like 30 minutes each, but when the story aired- they only usedone st like statement from our interviews. They totally spun it.

Kathrynx Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hells Kitchen and Deadliest Catch are fun to watch...I'm a little excited to the "The Mole" again, with NO KATHY GRIFFIN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I htink that every single guy on that Real World show has cried atleast 2 times in the 5 times i have seen portions of it. Then they all end up in a hot tub and fuck. Then the bitches get drunk, get on the guy who's the "Jerk, Asshole, Bad-ass" and Scandal ensues. Then the guys get in fights, get kicked off, cry some more. The women, if applicable, cheat on their significant others who are not present in the house. I just saved you like 4 months. What should happen is they all should die of Anthrax, but there's only one way to make that happen...Deadliest Catch is ever more repetetive: Catch a bunch, catch a little, feel sad, catch a bunch for a while, catch a little, guy falls over-board, comes back and is molly-coddled, people think he's a pussy (he is), they catch alot and forget about it, someone else gets hurt, then they go home. BOOm Next Season. Reality TV is rediculous. It's for chicks and people with no job who sit at home and watch TV instead of read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mya2323 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I like documentary type reality shows...

All these people are looking for is a few minutes of fame. But, obviously someone is entertained by this stuff, so it will continue to show up on the TV.

Bulldog_916 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Deadliest Catch owns. Dirty Jobs owns. Mythbusters owns. Tila Tequila is a ho. MTV is a broadcast whose main audience is sluts with no life but their clothes and their hair, guys who like watching sluts with no life and people who have an overwhelming desire to live vicariously through rich people without being rich themselves. Pretty fucking shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahwahoo2006 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I want to see Survivor the real game. Set up a desert island with remote hidden cameras, kidnap a bunch of people and film them for a month. Now THAT would be good tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is by himself for a week, but has a safety crew a few miles away in case something happens. Man vs. Wild just has the camera crew with him Although, on Survivorman, he goes to the place before hand and knows howto survive there, no just random droppings and survive, that would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Les Stroud is a trained expert. I am talking about, say, 10 people who have no idea what is happening to them. It would be AWESOME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tati Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I hate the "looking for love" ones, but love Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, Top Chef, and Project Runway.I dont like the fake drama of real world, bachelor/bachelorette, tila, flav, and others like that.

skaplayer89 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The only reality TV show I watch is contender asia, and that show is absolute badass, because everybody is so down to earth. No drama involved like the other shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
