Reality TV

[Recidiva]

I'm currently watching Project Runway, Face Off, Top Shot, Master Chef, Top Chef Masters...

Good stuff all.

Anybody out there also watching any of these?

I dearly wish Solitary were back on the air and I'm looking forward to a Survivor season with no Hanz'ez'es.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Not a single one.

 

[Recidiva]

Not a single one.

Duuude. Sucks for you. *comfort*

I like Duck Dynasty, Pawn Stars and Counting Cars.


I also like very much So You Think You Can Dance.


That most certainly does not suck...

I like the skill based reality shows. Though for the life of me I've learned absolutely nothing about actual sewing from watching Project Runway.

My ex-husband likes Duck Dynasty and likes saying "Errybody happy happy" That's all I know about it.

I think my main problems with So You Think You Can Dance is...the judges. But I should also check that one out.

None.

Just BB15.

Solitary was fun. Survivor has jumped the shark.

I've watched some BB and I really did enjoy the autistic guy winning.

I kinda agree about Survivor, and that's why I want a Hanz free environment, as you shouldn't re-book the mentally ill.

There was no way that I was going to watch Duck Dynasty after having watched the show about 'gator hunting.

The manager at my last job was talking about it and I got curious, so I recorded some of the episodes and sat down one night to watch with the queen.

We laughed for about three hours non-stop.

The way they bring it together at the very end really reminds me of the way things were growing up on the family farm.

...

On SYTYCD, I learned some things about Jenna Elfman that I never knew, first and foremost that she is quite the accomplished dancer.

I kinda like the judges save for some of the celebrities they pull in. The talent and the choreography are out of this world.

Maybe it's also because I mostly "listen" to TV and don't watch. Right now I'm listening to Top Chef Masters, playing Everquest 2, working, doing chores and posting here. Attention deeply divided. It's the same thing that happens when I try to "listen" to CSI. There are these long techno-music cutscenes where I'd have to watch if I wanted to know what the hell they were doing. Inconvenient.

I watch Duck Dynasty, but it's not true reality. I accept that. I just find it entertaining as hell. Though, I am easily amused.

a little bit of duck, some survivor, other than that I would rather be weeding my garden

I watch Duck Dynasty, but it's not truly reality.

It's not competition reality anyway. That's the stuff I tend to watch. I might have to try it out for the ubiquitousness of it and curiosity.

But most of those shows seem to be about laughing at someone and not with someone, and that doesn't make me feel good about myself.

That I happily watch people starve and go wonky from exposure on Survivor is only modified by the fact that it's voluntary.

I am happy today because it is raining and I will not pressure myself to weed. I weed a lot, but they're winning.

I'm rewatching 30 Rock...but once I year I will rewatch all of Survivor, all of Top Chef.

I'd be happier about The Amazing Race if CBS didn't fuck up their schedule all the time. Why is it ALWAYS 60 minutes?

season is almost over...next I get to rototill the bastards

Top Chef is coming next month!

 

[chillywilly2]

I wouldn't pick up the remote to turn that show on...now, I gotta go pick some beans

 

[Recidiva]

Awww. Okay. To each their own.

I started watching after I'd read the book "Everything Bad Is Good For You" and I've collected my favorites. Since food is a huge interest of mine, it was my first stop on the reality train.

food is interesting to me too...I eat every day

 

[chillywilly2]

If you want reality and cooking, watch Come Dine With Me

I find it inspirational and creative.

One thing that I've also enjoyed in something like Survivor is to see how often people know they're being lied to. And how often people are genuinely kind to each other. I expected Lord of the Flies and I got something entirely different. It's nice to be surprised.

Wish I could. It's an old series, huh? I don't see any streaming options, or I would.

 

[chillywilly2]

Its a Canadian series now

Now I'll never get to see it! ><

I only watch Survivor, but I did watch The Pickup Artist, hoping for some tips.

I watched it too. Not for tips, but for the sheer horror of the stupid. I will occasionally rubberneck, and so many people had mentioned it I wanted to know.
