Do you like Reality shows? Or do you think they are anyhow fixed and create unnecessary controversies just to increase the TRPs? If you see it there is hardly anything that the director of that show has to do other than put some celebrities in and handing then odd and controversial tasks?
I have checked a few varieties of these reality shows and to me they are usually poor. What is your take on them?
Cheers!

i like tv shows that are entertaining. the reality shows that i follow right now are the amazing race and survivor. both shows are fun and exciting to watch because i get to see different places around the world. the reality shows that i don't like are the big brother shows because all you see are the interiors of the house. it's too boring.

I don't know about the reality shows in your country, but in Romania, the only thing I can watch connected to reality shows are... the promos to the shows. That's because their best description in human filth. There are only a few that revolve around celebrities (and we have but a few celebrities of some value, the rest are nothing but rich morons looking for public display), while most are set-ups of usual people. Just check out a few titles: "Mother exchange", "Daughter-in-law for my mother"... These shows are on the lowest step of human quality, but they do have many viewers from the poor-educated majority. I rather watch cartoons than such shows...

I think reality shows are better than dramas.with reality shows,genuine human emotions are captured.no need to worry about make-up or costume.with reality shows,the important things are the words said by the characters and how the character acted on the situation presented to him.

I think they are mostly fixed as you have said.I am tired of such shows now.They only try to create a high level of drama to keep up audience attention.Celebrities are increasingly becoming a part of these shows not only for a chance to win but to hike their popularity with the general masses.I think these got up shows should be done away with.However I do like MTV Roadies.I think it is the only show with some element of reality in it!
