None. Ever.  And I feel really adamant about it.

First, I think that the networks are making too much money from these shows for a next-to-nothing investment.  Consider that they do not have to pay actual actors for talent nor actual writers to develop scripts.  Ultimately, they are working to squeeze both actors and screenwriters out of TV market entirely.

Secondly, from what I have seen of shows like Survivor, these types of shows appeal to the lowest common denominator of the human condition.  I fail to see the entertainment in choosing teams and creating secret alliances amongst various members of the team, and then ultimately voting on a team member's worthiness.

We may as well open a Coliseum and pit some lions against <a representative of whomever needs vilified>.

It's lowbrow bunk.  Read a book if you're that bored.

IMO of course.

Well I have to admit, the only one of the shows that I have watched, is Deal or No Deal....the Aussie version of course.

I have watched bits and pieces of Survivor a long time ago, but never really got into any of the reality shows.

I guess I didn't believe in the authenticity of them. Unlike Lynne I think they are probably scripted to some degree, and they are not necessarily what you see is what you get.

I like game shows, maybe thats the gambler in me, I like to see people win, but the only one I watch now is Deal or No Deal. Dont need too many brain cells to either play or watch that one. Its just light entertainment we have on, before we get bombarded with the evening news. A bit like the calm before the storm.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

The Amazing Race would be fun if I had the stamina for it.

Deal or No Deal is probably better suited for me these days. ;)
