Kelda:

Reality Show=Oxymoron.
Reality Show Star=Plain old moron.
Sorry just an opinion :)
injest:
well my my!! let us all be a bit prejudiced and paint all reality shows with the same tar brush and throw some feathers on 'em!!
:laugh: :laugh: ;)
Seriously, there are bad reality shows and there are good realitly shows....Just like with every genre. I loathe horror movies....but am willing to concede there are some that are good while there are some that STINK up the place.
"the Amazing Race" to me is the best reality show out there; because it doesn't REQUIRE that people do humiliating things to win....yes, people get into fights but that is because of their own personality and their reaction to circumstances...it is interesting to see the different cultures (and their reactions to those cultures) and the challenges are usually just activities that locals do as a matter of course.
And I am thoroughly looking forward to the new season!
I like Survivor, and I like Cowboy U.
If that makes me a moron? well, I never pretended to be real smart myself....I watch TV for entertainment.
PS I am fully aware that they edit and present the shows in a certain way...that is kinda the point. I KNOW that what I see is not necessarily what happened...it is escapism; not a documentary. and anyone that goes on one KNOWS what they are getting into...

oooh!!! does that mean i can gossip to you about amazing race then?
That's what i really like about it - I can't afford to travel to all these far flung destination so until I can - I can live vicariously through it! and like you say its interesting to see their reactions to these cultures and the natives reactions to them.. and see the scenery, sights etc.
love TAR!
