The next reality TV hit…
The witty and imaginative Spoon got my mind churning about reality TV thanks to his Fat March post. Just when you thought reality TV had sunk as low as it could, and then flushed itself down the toilet a few more times, another “great” (read:crap) program comes along. I admit to occasionally watching some of this garbage for laughs. I have seen 7 or so minutes of Brett Michaels Rock of Love craptastic “dating show”. It is a nightmare of epic proportions, drunken strippers cat fighting with drunken wanna be strippers over the affection of a hair band icon.
Each time one of these ridiculous shows comes on the air it brings up the question - What is next?! Seriously, what could they possibly think of next? They have filmed every type of celebrity and Joe Schmo dating, surviving, racing, money grubbing style show possible. They have paid people to lose weight, switch spouses, date dorks, you name it!
Here are a few of my ideas for some new reality shows:
1. Tempestt Bledsoe is a vegetarian and doesn’t talk to Bill Cosby anymore.
2. I wanna get my a$$ kicked by, umm I mean marry Mike Tyson.
3. Cats that eat with forks.
4. Metrosexual guys and the women that love them.
5. Inspired by Blowout and Workout…Takeout - the trials of being a delivery boy as told through the eyes of a pizza delivery boy.
I am waiting for a reality show about bloggers - people who “met” on the Internet are brought together to compete in various games. Sort of like Beauty and the Geek except it will be less obvious who the geeks are.

“Metrosexual guys and the women that love them.”
Wait a second! Aren’t nearly all shows on TV today about this sort of thing?

Thanks for the link!
Have you seen the commercial for Rock of Love when one of the girls starts to upchuck into her hand and somehow manages to turn herself into a high pressured vomit-hose?
I think there’s a hot new show in there somewhere.

Oh yes I have seen that commercial. I saw a few minutes of a recent episode…one girl was trying to intimdate another girl by getting all up in her face and one of the other girls tackeled her on the stairs. Basically it rocked.

I really liked reality TV when it started many many years ago. It was fresh and I was tired of the predictable sitcoms and dramas. But now…some of your ideas have a definite chance of making it. There is nothing too over the top today.

I’m with you Jan. I remember how cool it was when the first season of Survivor premiered, now these shows are just coo-coo!

The only reality show I watch is Cops. Now there’s a healthy dose of reality.

I watch all the craptastic realty shows on VH1, it doesn’t get better than those shows. My husband thinks the delivery boy show should show the boy delivering to the Brett Michaels house, personally I can’t wait for the Tempest Bledsoe show, sounds better than half the crap on TV today. Oh and if you tune in to Scott Baio is 45 and single you quickly know exactly why!!!

Oh yes I have seen the Scott Baio show….new level of craptastic!
