Reality shows, for the most part, are crap. But there are a few decent one's out there. I've always liked The Amazing Race. For some reason I have started watching Rattlesnake Republic on Animal Planet. Those are the only 2 that I try to watch on a regular basis. Are there, if any, reality shows you like to watch.

Nope. I can't stand reality television. The only reality show that I watched the full season of was the first season of Top Shot and that was because Blake Miguez was from my hometown.

I can't stand watching any show where they show people getting in fake fights with each other, have emotional breakdowns on camera, etc. I just don't give a crap. Why the hell should I care that Fabio ate your cheerios and stole your hair gel? I don't care what you think. STFU.

My old roommate got me to watch one episode of Jersey Shore. I felt dumber afterwards. I find it painful to watch idiots who are praised for being idiots.

I tend to find myself watching either movies, cartoons, sports, or the occasional TV show like Walking Dead or Supernatural.

I've been watching the Voice and Full Metal Jousting

That's about it.

How you people can sit there and watch people live in a house together and do nothing but cry, bitch, and moan at each other is beyond me.

It has become way too cool to hate on reality tv. I think there are a handful of shows out there that give reality shows a bad name. I also think it depends on your definition of reality shows.

If you're only talking about shows where they throw some people in a setting and claim that we're watching reality, I'll agree they all pretty much suck.

If you broaden that to include stuff like Amazing Race, Food Network, and lots of other stuff, I could name some enjoyable shows.

If a competition like Amazing Race is "reality tv", wouldn't every game show also be? What about LSU football, hopefully that's unscripted tv. Last season of that show was an all time great with the exception of the finale, but lots of great shows have had crap finales.

How do you define reality tv? Meaning is Survivor reality tv? Is Dirty Jobs?

Or is reality tv just the kardashians, jersey shore, real world, bachelor?

I think Idol, survivor, amazing race shouldn't be lumped in with the trash.

If it is a show in which people are just living.. Then no. shite like Jersey Shore is for idiots.

I do like shite like Pawn Stars because it does provide interesting information.

Nope. Don't watch any of them. They simply don't interest me.

American Restoration - has some cool stuff that I like to watch them tear down and restore, but I could do without the goofy dialogue.

Shark Tank - I like to hear the thought process behind some new products and the sharks take on the likelihood of success. Seems to be less bullshite on this show as they are putting up their own money and they are in it for a profit.
