I don't care for reality tv. With scripts and actors, the producer and director can complete an entire composition exactly the way they want to. And their goal is to make it (the show or movie) enjoyable - we are the customer.
With reality tv, its little more than vicarious crap that they hope we get hooked on. They try to control the way people behave by creating certain situations but, to me, it falls so flat its just absurd. I guess the dead giveaway about reality tv is that the more reprehensible the people act the better they do on the show. Its the conniving folks that come out on top as evidenced by the first Survivor. After the way that show ended, I was done with reality tv.
My wife likes the bachelor/ette shows but I think they are hopelessly boring. I do watch fear factor from time to time but that's more of a contest than a reality show so I'm not sure it that counts.
