It depends on what type of reality shows you are talking about. I'm not a Survivor or Big Brother fan, but I do like Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Sometimes, some of the celebrity reality shows are better than the contest shows, sometimes. Now, there has been a few celebrity reality shows that I could just pass on. But, most of the time they are fairly interesting.

yes i love reality shows only. Because they keep you involve in the issues and fun like they are meant for us only. I like musical shows, laughing competition etc. They are really a good time for me and for my family....but my mom she saw all house sad story shows that i really hate to watch. She always try to see at least 7 to 8 shows every day. She really eat all the time by watching these kind of shows. But remaining all members enjoy reality shows.

Oh GOD! You have no idea how much I loathe reality shows. They are a complete waste of human resource and the sickest form of entertainment! They are fake and dumb and relay on human stupidity to survive. Most of its viewers just turn dumb lose the reality. And yes, it is full of negativity. But they bring in some positive sometimes but at that time they do it too much. Making it look more fake. Reality shows are just "fake and gay".

I don't know about gay, but they are certainly fake and a total waste of time. Of course that just is my opinion. I get enough "drama" from real life without sitting in front of the tv watching a bunch of drama queen and kings overreact to everything..lol

I like some of the reality shows. I really like Bachelor/Bacherlette reality show. I find tjem to be quite entertaining and funny at times. I also like American Idol even though I live in Canada. I think it does show positive things. It shows that anyone can have their dreams come true if they work hard enough at it. I also like Dancing with the Stars. This year my favorite is Christy Alley. I know she won't win but she is entertaining and fun to watch. She also looks so good since she is losing weight because of the show and I encourage her for that. I also love to watch Biggest Loser as I am impressed with the contestants on the show and I find it encouraging also that people with so many emotional problems can overcome anything. I do agree with you when it comes to shows like Survivor. I don't find that entertaining and I don't find it helping or encouraging to others.

Never watched any of them. If I want to know about reality there is enough going on around me to keep me occupied

Same here, I hate reality shows and will not waste time watching them, I would rather live in my own reality than watch someone else live in theirs. As if it is "real" anyhow. Good answer!

I watched reality tv shows as long as its not a local reality tv show we have here in our country. I dont like the one we have here because it is pretty obvious that its scripted. I hate it but i like watching the ones they have in other countries like Survivor and beauty and the geek.

I think most of them are pretty bad, yes, but there are a few that are good as well. I like The Apprentice (the old one, not the celebrity version) and The Amazing Race, for instance.

I don`t like watching this kind of shows, because they make you sad, some of them, and makes you more pessimistic, than you are. I think that some of them are not 100% real, some producers, make the story more sand than it is, just for the audience.

I think 99% of them are garbage. All they show mostly is people screwing, fighting, cussing, and partying all the time. I still don't understand why shows like the Jersey Shore are still on air. I used to like reality shows but after opening my eyes to what the format is I stopped watching. Most reality shows like to dumb down America and distracting from what is really happening in our world and we have to go deeper than the news is putting out.

I dislike some, I hate others but some I very much enjoy. I like Dog the Bounty Hunter and when the Osbourne's had their own show. There's others but I generally dislike one's which are very informative or give insight into much. I hate big brother, I think it's just there to cause trouble and get ratings. Celebrity Love Island (no wonder they didn't do another series) just childish and showed that celebs are like us. I'm a celebrity get me out of here too, although I do like certain celebs having to do tasks which well aren't very nice.

Hiya abjl, Sometimes I donĀ“t like them a lot. I like the Chat Shows sometimes for a laugh or two or to just keep in with what is going on around those scenes. But the dreary ones I do not like at all. It has to be said that one or two reality Shows reunite Families again and other People who have lost touch years ago with their respective Friends and Family. So something good does come out of it.

It depends on the show. I like reality shows that showcases talents. I hate the likes of survivor and amazing race as those shows are full of tension, sometimes backstabbing just so other competitors can get ahead of others.

I hate them too. For a "reality" show, there's just not that much reality in it. They try to make everyone really dramatic to spark interest. I just don't think if the people or subject matter of the show isn't interesting enough on its own, it shouldn't be on tv parading as reality.

No, I love reality shows as I think you can learn a lot about people and it is fascinating to see how they react in certain situations. I enjoy people-watching anyway. My favourite reality shows though are the ones where the celebrities show a talent like Dancing On Ice or Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing With The Stars) which are slightly different to something like Big Brother, but I love them all.

I don't hate reality shows. They are entertaining to me, fun to watch. I rather watch the drama on tv rather than have drama in real life. Watching reality shows don't stress me out lol, i wouldnt say i have tension waiting on the next episode. Depending on the show its more excitement than tension. but everybody is different you might like something that i don't. ex reality shows :)
