Do you love them or hate them?

Personally I can't stand watching people act like drunken *kitten* to each other, and I wish snooki would get some kind of alcohol poisoning real soon. I mean **** she's only like 4'11 she's probably already had it 7 times, we just need one to stick.

Don't like my opinion? Bring it on *****es!

    Ok, I'll admit I like Hardcore Pawn. There I said it. But I can't stand Housewives of. _____ or Jersey Shore for that matter.

    Lazy TV made by lazy producers for lazy people to watch.

    I understand watching things with a plot, but life is real. You want real? Go live.

    I'm just afraid people will start actually thinking this is what life is supposed to be like, you know there are some stupid *kitten* teenagers out there.................sadly adults too. Ok I like American Pickers but thats not really a reality show right?

    I love Gold Rush on friday nights.

    But far as snookie goes, I can't stand anyone on J-shore, sure some of the women on the show i'd tear it up once or twice but they are teaching 9 year olds how to be *kitten*, drama queens and friggen "guidos"

    Jersey Shore and all those Housewifes and Dallas crap sucks *kitten* and are scripted more than anything. Now if you want a real reality show, Gold Rush and Flying Wild Alaska are the truth. I also enjoy the survivalist shows(man/woman wild, man Vs wild, Dual Survival), but those are also kinda scripted and they are given scenarios. The only true survivor was Survivor Man...Les Stroud..

    I like a VERY select few. All of them I consider better than the typical crap out there.

    Kitchen Nightmares (though they keep getting "worse", the UK version is better)
    Biggest Loser (losing weight makes me like it much more)

    And that's about it I guess...

    Normally I can't *STAND* reality shows, but I have a soft spot for Teen Mom. I used to watch Biggest Loser, but I haven't in ages (and miss it).

    Shows I hate: Housewives of ________, Jersey Shore, Real World, Road Rules, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Survivor, The Hills, etc.

    Guess what? I don't have a TV... *shock horror* and mostly that's because I can't stand reality TV. Especially police/car chase stuff. I think it's totally immoral to use people committing crimes as entertainment. And OMG, the ones about loggers, fishermen, long distance drivers... SO DULL! I do not want to get home from work and watch other people doing their on boring jobs?? Crazy! And don't even get me started on X-factor...

    That's not to say I don't watch TV at all - I do watch it at my bf's house, and I do buy DVD boxsets of stuff I really like.

    I like this debating group! I can see it wasting a lot of my time...

    I love that you don't have TV, I didn't have it for a long time but alas living with a man we have to have one at least 52 inches *sigh*. X factor is a guilty pleasure of mine though.

    Yeah... I am fully aware that when my toyboy is done with college and we can finally live together I will no longer live in a blissfully TV free land...

    Only if you live as they do! lol... Some shows make you appreciate that your life isnt as F'd up as you think it is... And other shows you can relate to :)

    I like the some of the competion ones, like Top Chef and Project Runway. I could do without the rest, especially the ones like Jersey Shore or whatever. It seems like people just want to see a train wreck, so what is next staging train wrecks so people can watch them.

    Its rather interesting to see how many people out there will watch them, and despise the people on the shows...say Kardashians...

    Personally, if you want reality, walk outside your front door.

    I agree. Cupcake Wars is also good...because they look so yummy!

    Serious question here..WHY do you like them? My best friend is the same way, she loves all of them, says it entertains her. I personally can't stand any of them where you just put people together to see what happens. If it has a purpose or is a competition, I'm ok with it (Project Runway, Cake Boss, Amazing Race). But the ones you listed above I just don't get. So I'm curious what it is that appeals to you.

    Dancing With the Stars too! Yes I admit it! The rest are just stupid people wanting attention!!!

    I am realty tv *kitten*, but it doesn't make me dumb. I DVR my shows and work out in the evenings while watching them. They are mindless and hilarious. I love Wicked Fit most of all, but Bravo, Style, etc are all great numbless programming. I use my brain all day long to think about work, eating, etc., so its a nice escape for me to just veg out.

    Same here!! Once a week I shoo the boyfriend out of the living room for my Bridezillas time. I can only take so much intellectual stimulation. The brain needs rest days, just like the body!

    I also like to watch Hoarders since it makes me feel better about my house being a mess. As long as I don't have any flattened dead animals and garbage laying around, it's all good! :laugh:

    LOVE!!!!!

    Kardashians, Kendra, Big Brother, Biggest Loser, Mob Wives, Ice loves Coco... hahaha... I equally love non reality too tho... House, Private Practice, Grey's, Glee, Gossip Girl.... Square eyes, its nice to be brain dead... and sometimes I do wish I lived in them, but I am fairly grounded... I will never have $75,000 diamond earrings - But there is no harm in finding entertainment in people that do!

    I almost forgot about storage wars, billy the exterminator, hoarders, 19 kids and counting, intervention, say yes to the dress, four weddings.... ha! I could go on, but it is on the brink of being sad lol
