Admit it - you've watched it. We're all guilty of it. but it has spun seriously out of control in the last few years.
I am not going to lie, I watch some of the shows (I was hooked on Charm School and Rock of Love 2), they are my guilty pleasure some days- because no matter how bad a day I have I can say thank-god I am not like them. But I am just really wondering if there will every be a line drawn.
Currently the homepage of IMDB at this moment has a shot of a naked Destiny (of Rock of Love and I Love Money "fame") covering herself with money ..... just ponder that for a moment. IMDB has gone to the darkside. When is this shit going to die?

I saw it as well and raised an eyebrow, had no clue was it was related to though, I've never heard of any of the shows you mentioned. (I only have about 3 channels, and I never even watch those.. Online TV for the win)

Most of those shows are either glorified game shows or the lives of rich narcissists being filmed. The genre should be about real people not rich idiots.

"real" people aren't surrounded by cameras and producers (who tell them how to act)

I'm proud to say I haven't watch Reality TV since the first season of Survivor!

I don't watch TV at all and I especially hate "realty TV" (as N-Span jabbed at Aly). When I did watch TV I hated reality TV. IMDB, you disguts me.

Bahaha. I like RW/RR Challenge, don't watch any other "reality" shows. Really surprised that IMDb featured it on the home page.

I second that NSpannaus. They always have to let you know, no offense Donte.

The only kinds of reality shows I watch are ones where it requires the contestants to have a skill or documentary type styles:
I watch these "reality" shows:
-Project Runway
-Deadliest Catch
-Mythbusters
-Dirty Jobs
-Next Food Network Star
Other than that, I could give a shit about other reality shows.
I will have to admit, however, that I did work on the Rock of Love 2 Reunion and the Flavor of Love 3 Reunion. I had to sell my soul to work on those two shows.

I'm with you lily, except its mainly fashion related. I have loads of Project Runway, What Not To Wear, and Queer Eye on Netflix/iTunes.
I also love shows like Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares (maybe its just Gordon Ramsey's accent that I like eh?)
