Any other reality TV fans out there - we are currently watching The Amazing Race and Celebrity Big Brother. For The Amazing Race I really hope Penn and Kim do great - I love their vlogs, so relatable as parents lol

For Celebrity big brother I really had no idea who most of them were, so I'm rooting for the one I've known since the N'Sync days ... hope he doesn't say "Bye Bye Bye" anytime soon lol (see what I did there??)

If you like reality TV - what do you watch?
 
Ummm … except for the Housewives franchise and the Bachelo/Bachelorett, I’ll watch pretty much any reality TV. I tried to watch Celebrity BB but it was just too much. Amazing Race is interesting because of the Covid spin. I’m a die-hard from the beginning Survivor and Project Runway fan. Also Top Chef. American Idol has gotten better, but I love the Voice and my absolute favorite is So You Think You Can Dance. And … and …

just as a little personal tibit … I once won a price for being able to identify 100 tv commercials by their music alone. Of course that was more than 50+ years ago. TV was a hobby. Lol!
 
Not anymore - I might watch a few of them, but my hubby burned out a long time ago. I do love Top Chef so he HAS to suffer through that when it's on. We used to watch a lot of them except the housewives - can't hack those. Some of the silly shows that I also like aren't really "reality" because they're not live. I get a kick out of Below Deck and my hubby will actually watch The Chrisleys - he thinks they're a riot. They're not really "reality" though, I don't think. We watch Survivor from the very first episode but got burned out on that one, too. Big Brother was good in the beginning, too. I think a lot of people are "reality-d out".

Vicki @Vicki Robinson that's pretty cool about winning the commercial contest!
 
I used to watch a lot of it when it first started to catch on like the ones on MTV or VH1 like I Love New York and Flavor Of Love and Rock Of Love lol and I'd love to start some now but just don't have enough hours in the day :D
 
The only reality show I've ever watched is Survivor. I guess I don't want a lot of "reality" in my entertainment choices. Give me make-believe every time, lol.

Years ago (8-9?) a bunch of ladies in my neighbourhood would get together and watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette together. It was an excuse to hang out and have snacks once a week, away from children lol We stopped when fewer and fewer people started coming, and then people moved away, got divorced, etc ... I miss the weekly visits with friends though! I watched it for awhile without them, but stopped a few years ago. My hubby went to the same high school with one of the Bachelorettes (Jillian Harris), so it was neat to see someone from this area on TV (no, I've never met her).

I've never watched Top Chef but we do like the chef shows with Gordon Ramsey, etc lol I've never been a Housewives fan either - things are just too far out there for me.

OMG Flavor of Love - I haven't thought of that in so long!!! I don't really 'watch' tv, I have it on in the background while I'm on my laptop. Hubby hates it lol

I refused to watch Survivor for the first season until I think the final episode - I thought it was terrible, the concept - which is surprising, you'd think I would have been all over the 'social experiment' as I was in my 3rd year os University as a sociology major at the time lol

watching both - was rooting for the heroes , so disappointed they didnt return

for BB, was rooting for mirai and carson . during the summer i get the live feed

also watch survivor, dancing with the stars, voice, idol, americas got talent and some others

do not watch bachelor ar any of the housewives show.
 
I don't like reality TV myself. I get upset when people are so mean to each other. However, I will confess to watching two reality shows. One was so many years ago, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. I think my family was one of the three that ever saw it. They dropped B and C list celebrities in the middle of nowhere and ran challenges like Survivor to see how they would cope. It was ridiculous. The other we saw was neat- Face Off, which was a competition for special effects makeup. Some of the makeups and costumes were amazing but after a few seasons, we lost interest

I think my daughter just found that - she really loves makeup so she thought it was great.

I'm a massive fan of Penn and Kim from a long time ago, their music videos are save many boring days! I'm still not watched their season of Amazing Race, but will!
Yes, my family watch lots of realities at TLC. And we really miss the TV channel for house renovation shows.
 
I've done more than my fair share of Reality TV. Nowadays it is pretty much limited to cooking shows. I am currently watching Gordon Ramsay's Next Level Chef. And, because of my fixation on cooking shows, I know who Richard Blaise is and just found out that he has a restaurant in Orlando. It's now on my bucket list.

Also watched Married at First Sight during the pandemic. That really is terrible stuff. I have given it up now. Those people are idiots! And, I'm worse than an idiot for watching it!
