This is pretty much why I got rid of cable, so I am kinda glad these shows exist.

I used to be a junky when they first came out (Paradise Hotel was my jam), but I have gone cold turkey for about 5 years.

Once in awhile I will mainline some Chopped or Storage Wars marathons, but those are infrequent moments of shame.

Why would anyone watch this when you can just watch the soup or the highlights on youtube.

You've made a pretty compelling case to watch Big Bang Theory instead. I agree.

Hitler 1: Who left die milk out of die fridge. Was it you, Hitler?
Hitler 2: Nine.
Hitler 3: It was mich.
*sound of a pistol firing.
Hitler 2: Gute Gott, you're worse than Hitler.
*sound of pistol firing.
Hitler 1: No paradoxes, please.

I think the Amish one came out as being fake

Chopped is great. Not really sure if a cooking competition really counts as "reality TV" though

Reality TV is the worst thing that ever happened to Western culture since Nazis

Even the occasional hot porn videos from wanna-be famous reality stars isn't worth it

The Biggest Loser (even though everything they do on there is completely harmful to the body, it's still fun for some reason)
Duck Dynasty (Cause that shit is just funny)
Occasionally, I will watch Pawn Stars.

[Edit] Oh, and Dangerous Grounds!  Any show about a guy that will go to the far ends of the world for coffee is my kinda show.

I like some of Gordon Ramsay's shows - MasterChef and Hell's Kitchen in particular. And of course I watch all the Geek Love episodes (hooray for being on a show produced by the same people who produced Honey Boo Boo) :P

Oldskool Road Rules was the shit back in the day.

I yearn for the death of reality shows, but sadly it will never happen in this day and age.

I used to feel this way, but then realized that they would just fill that television space with more sitcoms featuring people like Jenna Elfman and Charlie Sheen.

So, in a weird way ... Dancing with the Stars has saved us from having to endure another The Nanny or other derivative crap.

When I was a kid I used to watch The Mole with my family.  I prefer reality shows like that, with some kind of game show/competition element (not like American Idol style competition). 

In general, I can't really bring myself to watch the "look at these shitty people" shows outside of watching The Soup every once in a while. Not for any moral or elitist reason, its just really boring to me.

I'm imagining an episode of 5 Hitlers where Hitler #3 gets new clothes and a haircut, causing the other Hitlers to not recognize him.

I watched up to season 4 I think and just got bored. There was some legit talent on that show though. Jeffrey sibelia, for example.

I was never hardcore about survivor when it first dropped but the angry truck driver woman's tear down of that one girl, and the guy pretending to have lost his grandmother... Shit was gold.

I think 5 Hitlers could be a pretty fun reality show. Make it like Real World, where you gather a bunch of sexy/mentally unstable young adults under one roof, only everyone has to dress and talk like Hitler.

"Next week, on Five Hitlers: The Hitlers build a playground for inner city youth; Gay Hitler has a meltdown"

It's slowly gone to shit since the Lifetime move and All-Stars was shit on top of shit. (And Project Accessory was...)

And guess what next season is going to be: ALL TEAM CHALLENGES.  :yuck

Should cancel it (or at least All-Stars) and bring back On The Road with Austin and Santino.

When I was a kid I used to watch The Mole with my family.
Loved that show. Or at least the non-Celebrity version.
