Laid a fresh batch of dog's eggs this morning

I've watched the last two. The AllS tar one two years ago was quite good and last years where the one tribe kept getting their asses kicked week in and week out but they had that one really hot woman who kicked ass in all the competitions but all of her teammates, except one guy, sucked ass.

hahahahahahahaha

You said "poo"!!

LMAO!

am i the only one that watches really shitty tv and then gets depressed about it usually, asking myself "whats wrong with you that you are watching this crap?" - as i quickly switch to BBC or the History Channel - and realize 3 minutes later that i am watching The Surreal Life again.

JR, it seems over all, I end up watching more reruns of things I know I've seen that were good, compared new shows that just suck. That's in terms of "normal TV viewing". Actually that seems to apply to the premium movie channels as well. It really is getting bad.

I also seem to watch more and more History, Science, Discovery channel stuff. And, I'll admit it, cartoons. I swear some of those cartoons are twice as witty as any network sitcom on these days.

Alright, I'll stand up and take the heat...

Nick, I'll be watching Survivor as well, just as I've watched all the previous ones.

And Amazing Race (better than Survivor)...

And next week's finale of Rock Star: INXS (which I haven't missed an episode of)...

And Made In The USA (inventors compete for a year contract with Home Shopping Network -- actually an interesting show for marketing people to watch)...

And Surreal Life...

And Breaking Bonaduce...

... and I will like them.

That said, I won't watch either Apprentice show or Big Brother, but only for the same reason that I don't watch other shows: they don't interest me.

People who bitch about "reality" shows because they say "it's not reality" are really missing the point. Do you watch CSI because it's scripted? Nope. You watch it because it entertains you. Using the word "reality" to describe anything on TV is really a misnomer, something a TV critic came up with that has been latched onto. Even the most unscripted unmanipulated reality show has to be edited to fit into its timeslot, which instantly injects producer bias as to what to show.

A show's a show's a show, whether it's a scripted drama, a sitcom, or a "reality" show. Entertainment.

I've watched Big Brother twice. This years and the one two summers ago. I've haven't watched The Amazing Race though many people claim that is the best reality show of them all. It never held my attention to watch a full epsiode. I've never watche The Apprentice either. Why watch that when I see shit like that every day here in the real world? Seen plenty of people come in this biz and make it big.
