I think I am totally sick of reality tv, specifically the competition ones that have emphasis on the relationships amongst competitors. You know, the show where they all compete and live with each other and complain about it. Bravo has Top Chef and Step Up and Dance, the CW has America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway just moved to Lifetime, and even Animal Planet has Groomer Has It. It’s just getting really old for me. They will never go away though because they are dirt cheap to make compared to the non-reality shows. I do have some respect for some of the competition shows that only focus on the competition. American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance come to mind.
Overall though, I could do without reality tv. The writer’s strike definitely didn’t help with this situation. I don’t hate them for it or anything. It just means we might have a bunch more reality shows for the next year because of the lack of writers for new shows or episodes.
Oh, and for the record, I don’t watch these reality shows by myself. My girlfriend enjoys them, so often I watch them with her =)

P.S from the girlfriend:
Don’t let Justin fool you. He actually loves reality T.V. shows. The only difference being that his involve watching someone play a video game for 2 hours straight on Gameplay HD. I’m completely serious.
P.P.S from the girlfriend:
So You Think You Can Dance is pretty much the best show ever.
