I don't have access to TV except through the internet so I don't watch a lot of TV.  I don't think any of these shows are "reality" TV.  Using real people and paying one or two of them big $$$ or giving them recording contracts is just a cheap way of offering programming.  Most people, like most people on any game show, win next to nothing but provide the rest of us with "entertainment".  I used to watch Survivor but what we saw on the show was totally manipulated by the producers who tried to keep the "suspense" level high even when it was obvious who was "going home".

The only "reality" tv show we watch is "The Voice".  Even my husband likes it and he is usually VERY critical of tv shows.

It's still going strong. I like the competition shows where the's one winner. Such as Survivor, Big Brother, Hell's Kitchen and Celebrity Apprentice. That's about it, the rest of it is garbage.

I like *bleep* Stars and The Curse of Oak Island. I don't really think of them as reality tv but I guess they are, ??? ???

I love Shark Tank.  It is great to see the average person come up with a good product or company and get help from the Sharks to succeed.

I don't know if I feel sorry for them as I think they go in with eyes wide open although they may mistakenly see stars or dollar signs instead of the reality that most of them end up with nothing.  Don't know what the odds of getting on these shows is but I guess once you make it on the odds of winning big are better than buying into lotteries which a lot of people do.  I see that even Swagbucks runs "draws" fairly regularly in an attempt, in my opinion, to draw down what they are going to have to eventually pay out.  This is no knock on Swagbucks but they understand that people will take a chance even if it means that most lose and someone (Swagbucks, the government, casinos, etc.) continue to profit by it.

Reality TV is so disgusting.  Well most of it is.

Lots of those "reality" show participants are using the show as a stepping stone to get into show business, a bunch of wannabe actors trying to catch a break.
