I’ve barely ever watched R TV except for a few parts of Survivor season 1 and this, so bare with me here. I’ve made this topic because while flipping through channels (actually I was using the “guide” feature of the satellite TV) I came across the program “America’s Next Top Model” on “UPN”. Being the rat bastard that I am, I elected to begin watching it, for the most part to scoff at popular opinions. However(!), upon seeing the first 30 minutes or so, I was amazed to see the contestant Elyse being something of the “star” of the show. She appears to be an borderline anorexic angsty indie waif (think female version of my avatar) who seems to have no place in the show otherwise ridden by stereotypical Tyra Banks clones, White Girls with Large Boobies/Ass, Tyra Banks, and Mexican Girls with Large Asses. I actually managed to watch the solid 2 hours of the program that was on last night, mostly due to the constant angst, and the various amusing situations Elyse was put in (such as this loudmouth black Christian contestant showing her the bible where it says “he who does not believe in God is foolish” or something). Also, there is hilarious commentary by this other contestant who looks and speaks like a cokehead and wears Dark Side of the Moon t-shirts.

Anyway, I hate reality shows. I do watch them, though. At least, I watch the 1st and 2nd shows, and the finale. Within the first or second show, I call the winner, and watch the finale to find out I’m right. I’ve yet to lose.
The only reality shows I watch are the ones with a good degree of mystery, like the Mole… the rest, like American Idol, Survivor are just dull pieces of crap emphasizing human pettiness.
I like watching Survivor, because I actually used to find it interesting (season 1 & 2) Now that, and other reality tv shows I just watch to laugh at the contestants and how obnoxious they are.Especially Survivor, it’s nice to watch them bitch about “surviving in Thailand and the Amazon for 39 days” when real people do it most of their life and don’t have a problem.That’s city people for ya.Suffer!
I hate reality TV. Hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate. I have enough reality like this, thank you. Same goes for talkshows. It’s just funny watching them when they start to fight, but c’mon. All this “waaaah waaah my dick is too small” “help me, help me, my girlfriend doesn’t want to get her nipples pierced for me” just gets so damn annoying after a while.
