Guest AceAzzameen Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 Damn ALL OF THE REALITY SHOWS! The Real World was on MTV 9 years ago. After about two seasons, I'd had enough "reality tv." Because it's not reality. It's a bunch of people who know they have cameras on them and are acting accordingly. It's a bunch of staged events and situations by the producers/directors of the show, so it's not real life happenening. The only way to have a true reality show would be to have someone unknowingly caught on hidden camera throughout their day. And not like the Truman Show, having them followed & recorded through their normal lives. And guess what? It would be boring as hell. Besides which, that person would find out as soon as the show aired, and sue the hell out of the network. So there will NEVER be a "reality" show. If you want reality, gett off your ass and stop watching tv and live a life! Note: this rant is in no way intended towards Rogue 9. I just need a place to vent my frustrations about what I feel is a completely ludicrous genre of TV that was tapped out 8 years ago, but is being passed off as something new on the major networks in the last year. ------------------ "With the blast shield down, I can't even see.

Admiral Zaarin Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 I have to agree with Ace. To take a perfect example, did anyone see that thing with Nick on the UK Big Brother? There is NO WAY that would have happened without being planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkshake Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 two things: 1) Big Brother in Britain was much better in the UK than US. 2) I don't know. Nick could have been an attention seeker as a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Zaarin Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 I did actually enjoy Big Brother, for the most part. I just think that while something like the Nick thing is possible, it was too conspiracy-theory-like to happen wihtout some outside intervention.

JR2000Z Posted March 30, 2001 Share Posted March 30, 2001 1. Boot Camp is the best reality show so far. I actually liked it. 2. The only good thing about Big Brother is that you can see it live on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rogue15 Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 YAY!!!! what would really be a reality show is someone making a huge mistake on the news, and then suddenly notice that he was still live. I get sick of tv too. it's a waste of time, unless of course it's live, like that time when they showed the U.S. bombing iraq, now THAT's reality.

Guest DragonT Posted April 11, 2001 Share Posted April 11, 2001 They have a reality show out about boot camp? I haven't watched TV in over a year, aside from the simpsons and outer limits (Two shows that will make you think) TV is a waste of time. One comment was that the show Boot Camp was pretty funny... That is one problem with reality TV. Unless you've been there and have had a Drill Instructor up in your face screaming his lungs out you can't know the reality of the situation. But there are funny times too. One moron, when I was going through boot, didn't know his left from his right and would alway screw up the cadence when marching. One day the DI got mad and found a twig and a stone lying on the ground and picked em up and put the stone in the dudes left hand and the twig in the dude's right. From there on out the cadence was Rock...Rock...Rock-Stick-Rock. Earlier on that same day we were out practicing for the Drill Competition and that Moron was throwing the whole group off with his inability to march. The Sarge called us all to halt and called Ole Moron forward and told him to start marching on his own. Sarge pointed to a street and said "Start Marchin'!" So he started to march. When he was about halfway there about-face was called, but the dude wasn't listening and kept marching. Sarge called it out 5 times and then started chasin' after the guy, his face red as a beet. He stopped running about 25 yards before he got to the guy and was so PO'd that he whipped his hat off and tossed it like a frisbee and nailed the guy in the back of the head. At the top of his lungs he screamed "Pick that up and bring it back!" Now that stuff is funny. Unless you've been to boot you can't appreciate funny at getting yelled at until you just wanna cry for mommy. (And some of the kids actually did that too...) Now all of that is reality. I agree with the first post Ace put up on this thread. Get up, get away from your TV (and computer) and go experience some reality. What you see on TV is fake. Even if it was a hidden camera following someone around without their knowledge I wouldn't be reality... At least not YOUR reality. Life is boring to most cause they let it be boring. Do something and you'll get enough excitment and reality without having to watch TV to get the needed doses. Ok, I better shut up and quit ramblin' before I get banned.
