I hope you are right because if that is reality our species is doomed. |

Reality TV is not realisitc whatsoever. The people they choose to go into Big Brother are hardly
normal. Soap Operas become far too overdramatic. They're nothing like people in real life, if so
it's a small minority most of us have yet to come across. |

Reality TV is bullshit. It doesn't matter what form it takes, it is still rubbish. The fact that Big
Brother can release series after series just boggles the mind, it really does. Its popularity has
spiralled downward and yet they still release new ones. I actually threw my remote control at the TV
when I heard the theme music starting a new series. |

"It's not reality, it's actuality." So they say. |

"reality TV" is basically just a name these days. |

Reality TV is one of the main reasons i hardly ever watch TV these days. I mean come on its so
obviously staged it's stupid to think otherwise. |

The only television I consider "real" is documentaries. |

Reality TV was really interesting and entertaining when they first started them. Now, everyone is
doing it and it is really played out. I think that the reality TV they have sucks. American Idol is
the only one I really watch. They have a reality show for everything though. From singing, to
dancing, to finding a best friend, to America's Next Top Model, to anything and everything else. It
is getting out of hand. The networks need to find something else to put on TV. |

In the beginning, they were really cool, but they have since blown it out of proportion. They are
all the same. Every time I turn on the TV, there is a singing or dancing contest. If they are going
to have these reality shows, then they need to come up with something different. We are sick of
singers, dancers, and people trying to live with each other. They do not mock real life that much
either. Maybe they should have one that mimicks real, every day things like getting out of bed and
going to a job you hate or raising kids. I don't watch much TV any more, because it is all stupid
reality shows. What ever happened to the good sit coms? |

Quincel put it perfectly. I hate reality TV, I get enough reality every day. |

I agree, and am pleased to see Big Brother 9 with low ratings and possible plans to scrap the
'franchise' after BB10.
I have nothing against it ideologically, if adults want to be on TV and they know what they are
getting into (and by now, they all do) then that is their choice. If people wish to watch it and are
entertained by it that is their choice. But it is not my preference, and I am glad to see it's
slight decline.
'Reality TV' suffers from the problem Soap Operas do. No-one wants to watch TV with people like them
in it. We have that, it's called life. People want something more interesting and exciting. Hence
soap operas have ludicrous plot lines and reality TV have ludicrous contestants and situations. Both
are trying to give the people what they want, but reality TV undermines itself in doing so. |

No.
You can find insights into the human condition through any multitude of venues, television
included.
Just another form of "people-watching"..... |
