About my only experiences with reality TV are watching a lot of season 1 and 2 of The Real World during a weekend marathon in (I think?) the late 90s, and the first season of Survivor. I have never bothered with any of the rest of it, it all seems very derivative and frankly a lot of it is trash.
I well remember the scandal of Fox trying to do "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire" that they quickly withdrew, but Bachelor is really for the most part just a repackaged version of that. I have watched brief snips of the Bachelor becaus :naughty:flipping channels, some of the women are HAWT! But even in the short little 5 or 10 minutes snips I watch, all the women seem like fake poseurs (for the most part) and it all just seems really slimy and fake.
In short, I have hardly watched reality TV of that sort, and have zero interest in doing so.
Having said that, the reality shows that involve building things, like Myth Busters are pretty good sometimes and I have watched some of those. But none of the ones that encourage the (mostly fake) human drama. I get enough of that in real life, for chissakes!
