Yaye for reality T.V.

Post by aphexmonster »

Fuck this shit.... seriously though. They took it farther than it needed to go by making an American Idol II, now theres an American Idol for models, there is a Jr. American Idol comming soon, Who wants to be an american Pop star? comming to KXTV, and now theres an American Idol comming out for comedians. They are just running this idea into the floor. Im not gonna watch any of this shit, it sounds totaly retarded. What i think they should do, is have an american idol for ninjas, and have them all fight to the death. Now THAT i would watch. How about any of you?

I don't think that'd be seen in the US, too politically incorrect. :roll:

You mean you've never heard of Gladiators? For shame!

:twisted:

(couldn't resist the urge)

Luckily when those morons on Australian networks tried to make Australian gladiators, the show fucking bombed. And rightly so.

Right now, Australia is suffering through it's 3rd excreble season of Big Brother. They even have Big Brother: Up Late, where you get to watch the latest band of fuckwits to go into 'the house' sleep.

I think we ought to have American Masturbator. This show would be a contest for squeezing one off the fastest. I might win it, actually.

That show was cool when it started, then got REAL lame. Did you ever see Vulcan's spin off?

Also, I hate Big Brother, they took off Seinfeld for it, a pox on them I cry!

I think once Fox comes out with American Pornstar, people will start to consider whether reality tv is going to far :)

I saw on the news that here is only one "Reality" show on the line-up for this fall. YAY, I can't stand reality shows - their actually not very real at all! :)

I know what we need! Televized jousting! (No, "Conquest" doesen't count0
And what about a chariot race, it worked for the History channel?
BTW, what's this I hear about a reality show based on gladiatorial combat?

Several other reality TV shows are getting stale too, after installment after installment of the same old crap. I'm sure they're going ot go to great lengths to get viewers back. The next Bachelorette might be a man, for example. I'll stop there, because I don't want to be giving FOX any ideas.

American Idol is merely a rehash of StarSearch.
