Ok, I think some of them go WAY over the line. What is your favorite show, do you like the ones that push the envelope? Do you have a great idea for a new one?

Generally I do not like reality television shows because they seem to go right over the top now. Maybe the first in the series is okay, but after the first one many of the contestants seem to want to outdo everyone, including previous ones, in the stakes to be the most outrageous. No taste, class or seld-respect it seems to me. One show that I do watch from time to time is MythBusters, which can be interesting and they don't seem to be offensive in their experiments etc. they can laugh at the antics of each other without being offensive. Other than that I have no idea for a new reality show but if I was in charge, then the big prize money would not necessarily go to the last contestant. The contestants wouldn't know till the end what the criteria for who is deemed the winner. LOL

I am still at a loss as to why people would go to such lengths for the money. Gee, where is their pride I wonder because surely no amount of money is worth that?

especially if you lose, then you don't get the money, and you also have no pride

it is so true, some will do anything for money, and lately they have been telling how some of the shows are actually being somewhat scripted. That is unfair.

I like survivor, idea for a new show would be the same but without people conspiring and eliminating one another, it would be better if just the survival for the fittest/smartest game.

I agree, a lot of the contestants have said the show is partially scripted, I quit watching after that, it was disappointing.

i love watching reality shows. but other reality shows are crossing the line. i like beauty and the geek. the show's main goal is to change the perception of people about geeks who they think are only brains but they're all weirdos and beauties who are gorgeous but doesn't have brain at all. what the show's trying to do is to partner geeks with beauties and in that way, each of them realizes what they have and who they truly are beyond beauty and beyond brains. the show definitely has a lesson for every viewer. :)

I have never been too keen on reality shows because most of them do go way over the top. Maybe the first of any series is okay but it seems that there is a reality show for everything these days, so they soon leave a lot to be desired in the attitude, performance and moral values of the contestants. Personally I cannot think of one but if I could I would certainly not reward the last contestant with all that money, maybe the third last or something like that but the contestants cannot know who will get it till the end. :)
