I know the networks like them because they don't have to pay real writers.

I don't watch them.

two or three over the years and in each case been immediately repelled. Come to think of it, I did watch more of an episode of a naked man and woman climbing a mountain somewhere in Africa. Flipping channels and attention grabbed.

to the Colosseum to watch the gladiators (from the comfort of their own homes). It is a relatively cheap way for the 1% to see that the masses are entertained so that they don't pay attention to what is going on around them. It is all a continued part of the dumbing down of society.

Discovery's "Deadliest Catch"

Say what you will about contrived reality, nothing is more real than crab fishing in the Bering Sea from November to April. You can't fake the storms, the cold, the backbreaking work and the fact that it's one of the most hazardous jobs in the world. There's a reason it's been on for 12 seasons, and shows no sign of slowing down.

I don't watch Maher, Maddow, TYT, or any of those shows. I don't watch Fox.

I do however, watch some reality shows... Masterchef, Survivor, and a few others.

Maybe I should go ask my doctor why I've never had a single headache in my 55 years. Hangovers, yes. That's not a "headache" though. It's a symptom of dehydration brought about by substituting water in your cells for alcohol.

I didn't think so. I haven't awakened with a headache since last century, but a drink is the last thing I'd reach for! ugh

Water... lots of water

It means you're on the way to getting drunk again. Hair of the dog on Sunday means you're waking up on Monday morning with a hangover.

When I was in the Navy, we'd go to the Parachute Riggers and swipe a mask, go to an airplane, and suck up some 100% oxygen. Worked wonders.

Water though, yes. Displace the alcohol in your cells with water... Last night in reverse.

Which is fine with me.

I don't know if this is typical or not

But there are other ways to celebrate, no?

Cheers!

He must really be pissed

watching Kim Kardashian go from a stunningly beautiful woman to a engorged big lipped version of a silicon blowfish over a couple of years.

Sad that people sell their souls for "fame".

they have created for themselves. They are in for a rude awakening.

it will be a rude wake up call indeed.

If their father was still alive this would have never happened.

Chris Jenner built a empire of pimping out her daughters.

Once they turn 18 its all about nude layouts, sex tapes and scandal to keep them in the news.

Special place in hell for parents like that.

then she started injecting plastic everywhere. Same thing with Pamela Anderson.

Pic of 20-something Kris with Robert, OJ and Nicole in a book I have. Naturally flawless.
One thing that really bothered me during the mini-series was that OJ was very tall and Robert was very short--their portrayers were the exact opposite.

Genuine reality is almost always far more interesting than the made up stuff, although genuine reality doesn't always have a good narrative arc. The beginnings and endings are messy, and the middles are confused. People tend to like neat stories.

One of the reasons I found the movie "Titanic" so disappointing is that (to me, at least) what really happened was vastly more interesting and amazing than the fictional stuff in the movie.

30 times than a reality show.

someone to point at and say "now those people are really fucked up"

None.

Can't fucking stand them.

see it is all staged. They hunt down people with interesting items and do several shows in one day back to back. They have their goofy
staged skits they do with Chumlee doing something stupid on every show, it's stupid..

Like Pawn Stars. I didn't really care who was bringing in the stuff to be appraised - a lot of times, the guy who brought in a guitar worked at the guitar store owned by the guitar expert that Rick and his staff would call to appraise it, etc. But there can only be so many ways for Rick to say in a cutaway after being presented with an item, "I would love to have this for the shop, but only if the price is right."

TlalocW

can really stomach. Oh, and I regularly watch "The Incredible Doctor Pol", "Dr K's Exotic Animal ER", and "Cesar 911".

Cheaper than game shows, even. As always, maximizing the profit is the #1 goal.

the behavior was sickening
