What reality shows do you watch?

[BroadwayPeasent]

and what one don't you watch, And should we be watching them

 

[Mr Roxy]

We like the cooking shows and the Gordon Ramsey shows. We stay away from any of the others.

[SNAFU]

Don't watch any, haven't after the first few episodes of Big Brother. Have never watched a single America's Got Talent either. It is amazing how even if you don't watch this crap it seeps into your world.

[Call_me_jorge]

I watch VICELAND

[SNAFU]

Hmmmm perhaps if there were a Broadway Musical that would relate to a reality show, I just might start watching.

[Mr Roxy]

Hell's Kitchen The Musical? A line of dancing Ramseys?

[Call_me_jorge]

^isn't that just waitress

[SmoothLover]

Big Brother is by far my favorite. I need to clear some space on my DVR!

[dramamama611]

Should we?   Watch what you want.  

 

I tend to watch shows where people DO something other than just win $ and conspire against others.

[Jane2]

I do watch reality shows. Mostly the ones that require talent. Project Runway, Master Chef,and there actually was one about creating visual art. Didn't last more than two seasons, though. American Idol, the Voice.

I admit to watching some trashy ones like the Bachelor and Dance Moms. But I have never and will not ever watch the ones like Real Housewives, or Kardashians, or the marriage ones.

I believe that there is room for everything in moderation. I watch trashy tv as well as educational tv. I'm well rounded! (in more ways than one!)

[javero]

Pretty much limit it to Project Runway these days.  Previously watched the first few seasons of MTV's Real World, America Idol, The Simple Life, Dog the Bounty Hunter, and Celebrity Rehab w/ Dr. Drew.

[TotallyEffed]

The Simple Life was amazing. I have every season on DVD. Currently, I watch Drag Race and Couples/Family Therapy.

[Jay Lerner-Z]

Hi, my name is Jay and I'm a Kardashian-aholic.

I don't know how it happened, I really don't.

My favorite is Khloé.

[WhizzerMarvin]

I'm a CBS reality guy: Survivor, Amazing Race and Big Brother. 

 

Amazing Race has been rough to watch the past few seasons, but the other two are still entertaining. Love me some Julie Chen and look forward to having her back on my tv screen in a few weeks!

[South Florida]

BBC news.  I like Drag Race.

[Jay Lerner-Z]

^ You are barely plausible at this point.

[Jay Lerner-Z]

---double post---

Here's a picture of SoFlo's fave, so as not to waste the space.

 

[South Florida]

Your little brain can't grasp that someone like me exists, maybe you need to grow up.  I love Drag Race because I like watching men pretend they're women, is there something wrong with that?  It makes me laugh out loud and I don't get that from other stuff.

 

[Jay Lerner-Z]

South Florida said (regarding Cher): "She always has seemed like a creepy no talent, why she is such an icon with gay people I don't understand. Like Bette Davis. What's the deal, splain it to me."

 

Yep, sounds like a Drag Race fan for sure.

[South Florida]

That's good you care enough to dig up or remember ancient posts, a little creepy but whatever.  I also had the same question about many other gay icons but someone once explained it to me.  What is up with you Jay?  You seem a little uptight.  There's no point in hating me I'm too innocuous.  

[sabrelady]

I usta watch the |Amazing Race till it became all about the DRAA MMA! and less about the experience of travelling around the world  and reacting to the different cultures. I still watch  the Canadian version cos a) much less forced drama and b) it features my  beautiful country . ( OK it also features international locations too, usually an Air Canada destination, but never the USA)

[Jay Lerner-Z]

The Great British Baking Show (or Great British Bake Off) on PBS is real comfort TV. Lots of mouth-watering cakes in the sunny English countryside, baked by likeable and cheerful contestants. Just watching releases lots of endorphins, and the two hosts are pretty funny too.

There was even a charity version with Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Dame Edna once.

The US version was not very good.

[After Eight]

I used to enjoy watching  the shows on both the Food Network and HGTV. Then both went down the tubes and became unwatchable: competitions everywhere, real estate deals, fabricated "drama." Please, spare us the drama and just show us how to make cherries jubilee or how to choose an accent rug. 

I used to enjoy the Food Network show, Unwrapped. It was fun seeing candy canes or lemon drops jiggling along a conveyor belt. 

 

 

 

 

[Someone in a Tree2]

RuPaul's Drag Race, for sure. Including all the Untucked and bonus material. 

For years Project Runway was must-see TV. The latest iterations have been horrifyingly bad, but sometimes, yeah, I still watch out of loyalty.

Amazing Race. There was a great season a while back where the Speed bump challenge in Russia hinged on spelling Chekhov's name right. That was a highpoint that the show has seldom reached since, but I still have to root for the gay guys every season, no matter how ill-equipped they are to play the game. (This most recent season, the two gay best friends were actually adorable and fun and the nicest two in the cast, so yay! They came in 3rd.)

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

So agree, Jay Lerner-Z.  Great drama free telly and Paul Hollywood is a hunk.

[John Adams]

Currently watching or recently completed seasons:
MasterChef (Australia) -  the best of all the MasterChef franchises.
The Great British Bake-Off and its after-show, An Extra Slice with Jo Brand
The Great British Sewing Bee

No longer airing:
I also used to watch the visual art series, Work of Art
Circus! - about the Big Apple Circus on PBS
Cirque du Soleil: Fire Within - documented select performers from Cirque’s show Varekai from rehearsals through production.
