Please post what your favorite reality shows (if any) are.

My favorite is "The Ultimate Fighter" on Spike TV.

I liked the show where the midgets were dating, that made me laugh.

I used to like their morning call-in show. Crackpots would call in with their conspiracy theories dealing with politicians and current events. When a Christian Identity racist from Montana calls in with bible quotes that prove the UN is a tool of the antichrist, well, that's entertainment.

My favourite, hands down, is Fire Me, Please! Ever seen it? Totally worth the time it takes to watch it. Essentially these two people get jobs at a place (the owner or manager's in on it, but never at work) and have until 3 in the afternoon to get the supervisor to say "You're fired". Whoever does it closest to 3 without going over wins some money. The most awesome episode I saw was this guy who came in at 2:59:43 or something like that.

I watch that most Sundays. If I feel guilty about something, I put the remote out of arm's reach so I must listen to the drivel of the wackier folks. Darn that Catholic gene! :D

My favorite was the caller who wanted us to sanction Iran for their secret nuclear program. When it was pointed out that we've had sanctions on Iran since 1979, he said "Oh... well, then we need even MORE sanctions!".

Adapted from the British Scrapheap Challenge. That's great - Kryten from Red Dwarf presents it. At one point I was totally addicted to it - it brings out the latent petrolhead in me..

Again, I only a least hated.

But, Amish in the City, I came across it by accident but felt I had to watch as if I was driving past a car crash.

I get the same feeling any time "Road House" comes on. It's such a bad movie... but I can't help but watch it!

I saw that movie once. Nearly made me bounce my TV out of the house.

I like America's Next Top Model. It doesn't matter what it is; 10 prima donnas in one wee apartment competing over anything is amusing. The fact that the thing they're competing over is a modelling career only ensures that all the contestants are gorgeous.
I also loved the Surreal life season that Ron Jeremy was in. He's my idol.

Maybe a "Who wants to be Ron Jeremy's Costar?" series is in order. I'd sign up.

have any of y'all been watching "rock star:inxs"?

the talent on this show is amazing. every one of the contestants should have their own band and recording contract already. i dont see how one can be chosen as "the best" at this level of talent. the only question is "who fits best with the existing band?" and perhaps, who has the best songwriting abilities (i have no idea if the last lead singer wrote their songs or not)

Reality Tv shows must be stopped and the people who made them executed :)

I only like the reality shows that would still happen even if there were no cameras. Like Cops and Airline.
