I despise reality t.v. shows but I still watch Survivor from time to time. This show is definitely the best reality show I have seen since Survivor.

I don't despise reality TV (although I don't watch it either), but I do despise the term "reality" being used to describe them. They are anything BUT reality. A lot of the people on those shows have agents and such who get them on there. Heck, I saw the same guy on the Bachelorette (or whatever that show called), on both Fear Factor and Blind Date. They're freaking actors and people seem oblivious to it.
Kind of off topic, but speaking of reality TV, I saw some awesome grafitti a while ago. Someone painted a big TV on one of those glass bus-stop kiosks with the words, "Reality TV" underneath. When you drive by, you can see the people sitting in there all bored and melancholly, and it looks like they're in the TV. I thought it was pretty clever and funny because THAT is reality - not being on some island doing tasks for Doritos and Pepsi, or choosing a wife from a dozen super-models who think you're a millionaire.
Yikes - sorry for the rant.
