No.  I see enough disfunctional people as it is.
Have a wonderful day!

I do like "reality TV" like Survivor, Big Brother, and America's Next Top Model. I know they aren't real, but I still find them entertaining. The appealing aspects of Survivor (my favorite) are the whole manipulations and challenges. I love to see how people use one another, break or keep promises, and make the social moves of the game. Timing your moves right is what sets all of the drama into motion. I think it would be fun to be able to mess with people's heads and backstab with no real consequences in life. I mean if it is for entertainment and part of game, why not?! And it is just fun to see how different people from different lifestlyes interact with each other. It is great to see a country boy and city slicker hit it off. But the challenges are my favorite part to watch. I have always like obstacle courses, puzzles, and things like that so its entertaining for me to watch them. I know it is mostly all staged, but I am still very much addicted.

Some people are absorbed by the drama and excitement of them. Personally I would rather not watch drama in reality television since life has enough drama without adding to it. I like upbeat and comedic shows most of the time

I do watch all the train wrecks on Bravo but don't watch any competitive shows unless it's Top Chef or Project Runway, and that's to get ideas!

I enjoy The Amazing Race very much and Undercover Boss is interesting.  Most of the reality shows seem to end up with people being mean and spiteful to each other so I mostly don't watch any others.

I used to watch survivor (first two seasons), It sought of got real stupid after that. I have not any reality shows since. I think the more they bring out - the worse they are. The problem is, there are too many Reality shows out there. Taking up too much TV TIME!!

I think alot of them are ridiculous and I don't watch to many of them I do like the ones that tell of a life experience that they had and escaped the danger or the situation

Yes they show us what not to do. And if we do it what the turn out is. And it also just shows us like what its like to be someone else. It gets boring just to know about your own lifestyle. Wouldnt you like to know how other people are living
