2. Me, me, me!
I can't abide any of that "reality" tripe. Never seen an episode of Survivor, either, and quite proud of it.

:puke:

4. Never! Hand to God!
Not me! I find those type of shows boring and I can't stomach that one guy - you know, the cruel one.

5. You've seen more than I have
My mentally challenged neighbors watch it. Of course, they also watch Fox News and quote from it.

8. I have never seen a second of any "reality" show.
Aside from what they show in advertising elsewhere.

17. Never watched it, nor "The Apprentice"
Which should be sub-titled "Who's gonna piss-off THE Donald by staring at his comb-up-and-away-over this week?"

18. It's the only reality show I watch.
Edited on Tue Jan-18-05 10:22 PM by tuvor
The past two years have been really entertaining.

And I'm sorry, but if you missed Fantasia doing "Summertime" last year, holy crap, was that jaw-droppingly beautiful, and I feel sorry for you.

ON EDIT: Wow, do I feel LONELY in here.

22. Why don't they just call it "The Death of Music as We Know It"?
People are just never going to like ROCK en masse like they used to, are they?

SIGH.

And no, I refuse to support bad karaoke with a light show.

28. if you ever watched it...does the audience select someone once a
week as that week's "idol" or something. It sounds so stupid and juvenile I can't even turn it on, the whole concept of "idol"...gimme a break.

PS I used to watch "Dark Shadows"

30. Here.
never seen it...I saw ads during the football games and thought it looked like a shitty rip-off of the Gong Show. The "bad" singers are such obvious ringers...it has to be a put-on. I'd rather watch pain dry.

40. I proudly say that I have never seen most of what passes for
entertainment on TV since about ten years ago when I moved overseas and became reliant on movies. Netflicks rocks.

Have no interest in it. Not even sure when it's on. And don't care to find out, since I won't be watching it anyway.

43. I've never watched an episode all the way through.
It's just a repackaging of the old amateur hour/gong-show concept. And it seems they are only interested in a very narrow range of hyper-commercial singing styles. And in humiliation.
