What's your take on reality shows?

Why haven't I discovered that yet? I'm into foods big time. LOL. Sometimes, I get to watch Ace of Cakes and whatever cooking shows are on. There was even a time when I watched a Korean cooking show which was in Korean language and without any subtitles. I'd usually end up hungry.LOL

I haven't seen Hell's Kitchen. Is that like Iron Chef?

Is It similar to Iron Chef, as in Iron Chef America or The Next Iron Chef? Oy, the food network, I could talk about that one for days! Gordon Ramsay is the host and an established chef and has many restaurants all over the world. He is a good guy outside the kitchen. When in the kitchen, the heat is on, he is breathing down your neck, and cursing up a storm. Again, it is a reality show, so that is most likely there for the entertainment value, it works. The show starts out with two teams, a red team (girls) and a blue team (boys). The show consists of dinner services in a fine dining restaurant and all sorts of challenges. I've been watching it since season 1. The next season starts next month some time, I want to say later September on Fox. Things can get pretty intense, it's not as refined as some cooking shows. When Hell's Kitchen doesn't air, Gordon has Master Chef right now. It's on Wednesday's at the moment. This is the first season it's aired. This is a program where your everyday home cooks have the chance to become something bigger. Hell's Kitchen, the people involved are already head chefs, sous chefs, etc. They have that jumpstart. Master Chef is the chance for your average Joe to become better. When Master Chef or Hell's Kitchen isn't on the air, you have Kitchen Nightmares. I would call Kitchen Nightmares a reality show persay. There aren't other people competing with anyone. What this show is, again one of my favorites, is Gordon visits rundwon restaurants and trys to turn them around and make them the star of the town again. Some of the things that go on in thos restaurants might make you think twice, but it's all for the better in the end.

Yup...I watched those shows before also. I actually saw another a part of an episode of survivors just today. I'm not sure what season it was but I don't know anybody on the show plus I just don't want to start another. I might get hooked on it again.

Very true. There was a Korean soap opera before that I watched and I really wanted to know what happened next. I ended up scouring for dvd's of the show and watching it for one whole weekend. I got to finish it on Sunday.

Lol that happens to me all the time! Not on Korean Soaps though mostly just shows from the US. Getting hooked on the soaps and series though is a lot more different than reality shows don't you think? With reality shows I don't get hooked as much after a while, but on regular shows I'm hooked as long as they still produce it, you know what I mean? I remembered some good reality shows that I like though! Mythbusters and most on the Discovery Channel, and also Project Runway and the learning channel has lots too! LA Ink is the best for me.

Good for you, you have a recorder. I don't. LOL. I thought what I was watching were the new episodes only to find out, that most of the ones I saw were reruns. I am so out of the loop. It's entertaining though.

I forgot about Next Design Star...That was always good. Amazing what they come up with with little to work with. That is fun to watch. But again (reference another post here) their appearance is pathetic! Why don't they dress nicer? They often look like they just crawled out of bed and put on the first thing out of the rag bag. If they were going to do my house/room, I'd take one look at them and think if they can't do any better with their own appearance, how can I expect them to do good on my room? I am not at all a outward appearace is the main thing kind of person, and I don't have the money to buy high fashion, but that isn't what is needed. Target has nice casual stuff, Kohls and JC penny and it is all reasonable. Plus being on national tv and for the reason there...it just seems to me they'd WANT to make themselves more presentable.

Will also check that out. Now I remember a certain guy (I forgot his name but his outfits are usually so outrageous)whom I read was a contestant or a winner in a fashion designing competition. When I saw his picture I was wondering how and why he won. lol

It's actually just something to wile away the time. You don't really have to think so deeply about it.

The news is drama, action, comedy...all in one.

I was able to catch 2 episodes of Glee. I haven't seen Dirty Dancing though.

I didn't have much of a choice. Having two jobs was killing me and I actually didn't have mind then. I was too tired. There are times though when I wish I had one at that time because I kind of missed some of the news. I also like quiz shows. I have a blast giving the answers before the contestants can.

lol. I get what you mean. I did watch PBB before. It was the very first one I think. There were some episodes I think that I got to see of the latest season because my co-worker would check it out on youtube. I don't know how the local Biggest Loser will fare.

I actually haven't seen those you mentioned having been out of the loop for some time. I usually just navigate through the different channels and the ones I saw are usually there. I'm a huge fan of comedy shows. Where can I see comedy central?
