I'm a bit weary of reading about all these so-called "reality" shows...that honestly have zip to do with reality.
And, a lot of these shows are so incredibly negative--insults and cat fights...that's what the "public' wants? Then the public are bored little unimaginative morons.
Here's some more "positive" reality-show ideas:
"Gimme' A Break." A show where the public writes in about someone (not referring to me, by the way) who's had a tough time, and could use a break--a little lift--and the show is about giving the designated person or person a little treat of some sort.
"Animal Rescue"--follows the success story of a animal rescued from a bad home--from the initial save, to the animal becoming healthy and going to a new home.
"Real People." A programme that shows how low-income individuals, the elderly and families REALLY live--and producers at the end, present the person or family with a positive oppourtunity of some sort.
"Hidden Talent." A show that finds ordinary people with "hidden" talents--art, music, writing, crafts or cooking, and lets the audience judge who's the best. The top three finalists compete for a small monetary prize and a chance to display their work publicly.
"That's My Hobby." A programme about people and their unusual hobbies.
"Job Swap." Celebrities and/or execuitves trading places for a day, with an average worker, such as fast food, janitorial, telemarketing, animal caretaker, dishwasher, traffic warden, dinner lady, store clerk, lorry driver, binman, etc.
"I Have to Do WHAT?" A show where either ordinary people or celebrities, under close supervision for safety, are placed in a new situation (ie. non-cooks in a kitchen, non-riders in a stable, non-actors on a stage, etc) and they have to do the task required, in a set amount of time, with only 10 minutes of personal instruction, and a basic handbook to go by.
"I'll Take it!" People are given a room to decorate, and a limited amount of cash, and are sent to a boot sale or flea market, to buy stuff to decorate the room with--having to stay in budget.
I know, these are stupid ideas--and who knows? May have been done before, but, I'm bored and had nothing better to do. I don't even have television, ha-ha!

It's amazing how much people will shame themselves just to be on TV. Our culture is going down the toilet. My favorite one is Bridezillas. I can't imagine behaving like that on TV nor can I imagine any man in his right mind marrying one of these women.
