anyone an addict?
American Idol is the only one I watch. I hear people talking about some of the other shows.. and i always think its something i would like to watch.. but when it comes right down to it.. I dont.
I know a few people that have it timed where they can watch or record most all of them LOL.. I call that obsessed..
I use to be a Fear Factor addict.. but after a while I got to where i couldnt stomach some of what they ate.. ACK!! |

Im not a reality show addict by no means. But there are a few that I have watched from time to time. If we can call Survivor a reality show, that is one that I cant wait for thursday to come around to watch. Ive watched that show for years and really enjoy it a lot.
I never really cared for American Idol, tho the few times that I have turned it on, I really enjoyed listening to the music. It must come on at a bad time, and I am missing it each week.
I remember Fear Factor, and your right.. after awhile it got pretty gross! ugghh... all that awful disgusting foods they had to eat. euuuuuu 
Another reality show that I used to get a kick out of was 'wife swap'. that was pretty funny. CMT ( country music tv) has a reality show called 'spouse trade' ( i think thats the name of it) pretty much the same show and that is funny as well. Not that they are comedy shows, but the situations they find themselves in is pretty funny to me. 
I never watched much of "Big Brother" but do turn it on the 'on demand' channel at times during the day if I want to sit in front of the tv, which doesnt happen too often. What a bunch of dysfunctional young adults that is! lol..
So thats about it for my watching reality shows  ! | |

| I use to watch survivor.. but after the 3rd season i kinda lost interest. That moment of truth show... I watched it the very fist night it came on and decided it was to drawn out for me. I maybe southern (we are supposed to do everything slower) but I am NOT patient enough for all that drawn out drama. If im gonna watch someones life get messed up I wanna do it quickly so i can move on LOL. Heck's Kitchen is good but man that guy makes me nervous.. I cant cook a lick at anything so no way could I ever hold up under such a mean person.. There is a Big Brother that comes on HBO or Showtime or something like that.. and its pretty edgey which i like.. but i came in half way though the season and feel quite lost.

Bringing out the ugly in folks.. and hurting others is not my cup of tea. Hurting your spouse or family for the sake of the almighty dollar! I cant imagine it.
OOO that cooking show... OMG.. I agree, the man is a madman!  Ive heard of 'sensitive' cooks.. but this is ridiculous~ He needs some valium and quickly!

The guy on the cooking show? He needs way more then valium.. im thinking a good whack up side the head with a big ole iron skillet LOL | |

| Ok...I am putting myself out there when I say this. I like the Housewives of New York and Housewives of Orange County...those are the ones that I hate to admit, but they are intriguing. I really like Top Chef, Heck's Kitchen, and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares...does ESPN count as reality? | |

| Chef Ramsey (Ramsay, maybe? Can't remember the spelling) is the Chef from the show you are referring to, which has a word in it that isn't allowed on the forum. That's why I called it Chef Ramsey's show. | |

| No problem. Hunted down and edited. I was wondering if it would be okay, myself, but figured it's better to be safe than sorry. We have a really wide range of users on here, and we don't want a ten-year-old get told he/she can't go to the forum anymore because the parents don't want the kid exposed to language. It's the parent's right (and duty, if that's the way they feel). Best to not make such a decision needed. | |

| Heh.
Anyway, I know that Chef Ramsey is just insane, but at the same time, when you see the people he's working with, it seems kind of justified.
And when people are doing right, they get praise. At least he's not a total monster (though still a bad management type) | |

| Chef R. show is a hoot. I can't imagine eating some of the food that is sent out!!! lol I use to watch the wife swap show, but that got a little stupid at times. I love watching the show where they build the homes for ppl. (can't think of it for anything!) who have rough times. It is always nice seeing others get help. | |

| I am not good to stick with a show long enough (other then AI) to really know what they are all about. The cooking show guy makes me cringe as does judge judy LOL..
anyway.. I think the wife swap shows might be fun to watch. I have seen snippits of those shows and they seem really funny. That nanny show can be fun to watch with the right group of kids 
I am NOT a paris hilton fan.. but that show were she and that other girl were on the farm was a HOOT. | |

Extreme Makeover... that is a great show. I agree, its nice to see the shows where they do something for others that have had rough times. That show always makes me cry! But.. a happy cry! | |

I've become addicted to both shows... they're so funny to see the things they can't "live" without!
I'm also a HUGE fan of Jon and Kate Plus 8  | |
