    I absolutely love reality tv! :o:D

    My favourites are TOWIE, Strictly and DOI but watch most of everything else apart from BGT for some reason.

    Also like some US ones including the Kardashians.

    Used to watch Big Brother without fail but this year I tuned out about half way through the series, it just wasn't the same.

    If they actually put "normal" people into shows like Big Brother, and presented them with realistic scenarios, then I could see the concept would have merit from the viewpoint of a psychological experiment. However, what they actually do is fill the house with attention-seeking losers, with barely a brain-cell between them to rub together. So no, I'm not interested.

    The very first series you could say was like that. I was starting my Psychology A Level when that was on and our teacher actually told us to watch it for our 1st weeks homework just to ease us in!

    But once a couple of series had gone by they just tried to make the people in it weirder and weirder. I guess the original concept can only last for so long, like anyway. I did watch most series though but stopped when it ended on Channel 4.

    I like watching reality, but I dont watch TOWIE or Chelsea, but used to sometimes watch Jersey Shore. Ive occasionally watched the 19 kids. I used to love Wife Swap.

    I do like watching 16 and pregnant. And the Apprentice and Young version is always good.

    I can't stand reality TV. But I also can't stand soaps. I prefer to watch fantasy when I watch TV, there's enough reality in everyday life without watching it when I'm relaxing.

    I also hate the *celeb* culture that surrounds reality TV. All those nobodies who think they're special because they've been on a TV show. Pah!

    :T:T:T
    yep yep me too give me warehouse 13 or the big bang theory anytime over that mind numbing drivel

    a lot of my friends look at me like im a weirdo :D, because they talk about is stuff who i dont know and have no interest in, and i start thinking they are on about real people so start getting concerned, then it becomes apparent its a soap or a cleb who think they are something when they are not
    plot lines etc...bleurgh
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?
