"What do you or don't you like about Reality TV?"

Jane Dickinson

I think it's nonsense. I don't like it. They make fools of themselves and I can't visualize anybody doing what they do . . . eating worms and fighting, etc.

Most of reality TV today is crazy . . . too much of it. "Survivor" is the only true reality TV today and I still enjoy it. The rest is too contrived.

Reality TV seems to me to be mostly phony, but sometimes shows day-to-day life. There is nothing I watch regularly, but I do like Donald Trump's "Apprentice".

I don't like it when it hurts people. I do like it when it helps people or shows something you can learn from. I don't like it when it pits families against each other or humiliates people.

It used to be interesting, but now it's boring; I'm tired of it. I'd rather watch a comedy or drama. The reality doesn't seem that much fun anymore. -Compiled by Sandy Christman
