I didn't watch it this season since it went so late. Our judges can be fairly cutting. These days hubby and I tend to drag out a DVD rather than watch reality shows, although I have to admit I had fun writing the stories that the ideas sparked.

I don't find amusement or entertainment in watching people squirming in discomfort. I've watched two reality shows. I watched one season of The Amazing Race because my cousin was one of the editors. It was bearable and I did learn some things about some of the places they visited. But some of the cattiness was not pleasant. And I do watch Dancing with the Stars. For the most part, it's enjoyable. The judges aren't too critical and they aren't nasty (like American Idol) and it's really amazing to watch some of the stars dance. But overall, I dislike them. And I have one more reason -- they're pushing dramatic television out. And I work in dramatic television and it's tough in the industry.

I've never watched America's Next Top model contest. It's usually more peaceful to save the fights over the remote for the shows that really matter. :grin: Hubby keeps a tight grip on that remote!

That said, I admit that my dirty little secret show is America's Next Top Model. Oh, the shame! :oops: My general feeling about reality television is:
