Ok seriously, what the hell reality TV?

Reality TV shows are a guilty pleasure of mine. A Say Yes to Dress Marathon on a Friday night will probably result in me staying home and watching rather than going out, Chopped is a perfect way to ignore my homework for another hour, and while I hate everything about The Bachelor, I am usually glued to the TV screen.

But I've recently seen some reality TV show previews that have left me a little confused. Seriously what the hell reality TV, you are getting a little bit carried away, I mean not EVERYTHING should be turned into a reality show:
  1. On the FlyAirline employees must think on their feet as they cope with weather delays, irate passengers, and more surprising situations - a TV show about airports?! What? I get that part of the appeal to reality TV is the audiences ability to relate to the show, but who wants to relive the airport experience if they don't have a vacation on the other side?
  2. Hillbilly Hand fishing, Join hosts Skipper Bivins and Trent Jackson as they teach everyday folks how to catch massive catfish with their hands and feet! - Oh perfect! I've always wished I could catch a fish with my feet...
  3.  Barter Kings, When it comes to bartering, anything can happen, and these guys can't get enough! - my sister has tried to convince me that this show is amazing... But I'm sorry, a show that resembles a garage sale does NOT sound like a good time to me...
  4. Craft Wars, Get your glue guns ready! Hosted by Tori Spelling - don't you have like 4 kids and 4 other TV shows on the go Tori Spelling?
I should mention, I haven't actually seen any of these shows (other than the previews) but I some how don't think I'm missing very much... Has anyone else seen any of these crazy shows? Or are there other ridiculous additions that should be added to my list?

  1. I as well am a huge reality TV show fan and up until recently I thought that TV stations would have figured out everything that they could do reality TV on. I was wrong apparently. A&E can make a reality TV show out of anything. Storage Wars?!?! One of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Another one of my favourites is Pawn Kings on the History Channel. I can watch that show all day everyday and by the end I am crying with laughter. America has taken the most stereotypical people they could find and turned them into a TV show. Prime example is Duck Dynasty which is about a family that runs a duck call fabrication business. They live in Louisiana and are the stereotypical "Rednecks" of America. I do love reality and I can't help my guilty pleasure. Thanks for the blog. I will probably however be watching Barter Kings and Craft Wars. Gotta love Tori Spelling.
