What's your favorite Reality Show? I only really watch two. Ice Road Truckers, and Axe Men. (Have to keep up with my wife and Jon & Kate Plus 8)

I'm a "Survivor" guy. My girlfriend never got it, but she started watching it half way through last season.. this season she's more into it than I am I think.

Deadliest Catch and Hell's Kitchen.
I love crab, and the work that those men put in to get me my favorite meal is incredible.

Hell's Kitchen is fun just waiting to seewhich ding dong is going to get the boot.

There isn't a single reality show worth watching.
They are no stars, no talent, no direction, no plot, no story, no interest extremely low cost productions made to sop up TV time. No wonder NBC, ABC and CBS are all going bankrupt. What a waste!

I have watched survivor since the first one back in 2000. It's the only one I watch. I haven't watched any sitcom since Soap. I like no stars TV.

Survivorman is pretty good. He's the real thing.

Other than that, my life has enough reality and drama in it. I don't need to watch someone else freak out over a self-imposed crisis.

Survivor since the beginning. But that's it. Oh, and Iron Chef if that counts! Yeah, that should count on this forum....especially if the secret ingredient is tomatoes (or grits, or armadillo) .

To much hype in the shows for me.
While there are some jobs that are dangerous, I think these shows could make planting flowers look deadly!

"The Alaska Experiment" on the Discovery Channel is pretty good. My wife and I watch "Survivor" and "Amazing Race". I don't really think the last two are reality shows, as much as game shows. I really liked "Survivorman". I'm sorry it ended, but the guy was getting pretty haggard looking towards the end of the series.

+1 on Reno 911. I also enjoy the Deadlist Catch, Axemen, and Ice Road. Those programs give a little perspective how others make a living.

I watch 3 reality shows. They are baseball .. football ... and boxing.

For everything else, I like complete escapism .. I get reality every day .. sometimes a little TOO much.

We make a point of not watching reality tv.

Not to be confused with hubby's addiction to History Channel... also known as "why we don't have cable tv!" We get sucked into those shows like history of the gun and we'd never get ANYthing done! lol! When we visit his mom, he watches tv for HOURS and won't go to bed!

We only have the basic channels, and refuse to pay for cable. We are completely amazed at the drivel that is on tv now, and think that the ones that are supposed to be funny are just stupid, don't understand how they win any awards, (other than these people are awarding themselves!) And, when there's a show we DO like, with a plot, character development, etc, It never fails, it gets cancelled!

Does American Idol count as a reality show? If not, Amazing Race.
