I'm usually not a fan of reality TV because it the finished product distorts what really happened. I did watch American Idol, Survivor, Surreal Life, and Amazing Race in their first season. After that, TV got swamped by reality TV.
But I when I get a chance to enjoy cable TV while house sitting or at my brother's, I really do enjoy the Food Network. I really do want to be friends with Rachael Ray! I didn't think they could pull it off but Iron Chef America is great! Another two programs I got hooked on because they ran marathons for them were Top Chef and Project Runway. I really like how the competition was set up and never had the audience judging.
So, what do you like?

After that, TV got swamped by reality TV. I really do want to be friends with Rachael Ray! Oh, I want to be friends with Genevieve from Trading Spaces. She's so much fun! Though I don't like her taste in decor all that much. Too many earth tones, for me. When I want to get inspired to clean my house, I watch Clean Sweep on TLC. Mainly, I love the makeover shows, like What Not to Wear or Ten Years Younger. Ten Years Younger is cool, because they fix people's teeth and do laser treatment or peels to help bad skin damage. That interests me because I wrote a book on skin care with a dermatologist a few years ago. It's fascinating to me how technology is coming along to help bad sun damage or deep acne scars. I'm still a big advocate of wearing hats and staying out of the sun. What I don't like about Ten Years Younger is that they pic the ugliest, most unflattering clothes for the guests. They seriously need a new stylist. Also, why would anyone want their hair done by a girl whose own hair varies from week to week from purple to pink to blue? I used to watch Trading Spaces a lot, but now if I do, I just record it and watch the last ten minutes of the reveal. Tivo makes life so much better! On the subject of reality TV, a friend of mine was on a show a few years back. She told all kinds of crazy stories about how the producers made up the stories and manipulated everything. It's pretty crazy.

The only reality tv shows I usually watch is Survivor and the Amazing Race. I was really happy with both of those shows this year. The people I wanted to win actually won. That rarely happens, lol. I can't wait until they start up again.

i think project runway is like project catwalk, the latter is the uk version. the one where designers compete for a contract with a fashion company? last year it was hosted by liz hurley. the new series starts next monday and the host is kelly osbourne. looking forward to this!
there was only one series of sbritish survivor and that was ages ago - it was really good.
i think americas next top model starts soon also, cycle 6 i think. this is one of the best reality tv shows ever! i love tyra banks! britains, or australias next top model does not compare to this. the photo shoots are superb and creative and the judges much better!
i also love the girls of the playboy mansion - i hope there will be a 3rd series. their lives are sooo interesting.
i like x-factor/pop idol because i love the audition process - some people really think they can sing! ha!
i also love laguna beach the real oc, even though i am 10 years older than these kids i find their lives soooo interesting!
i think gordon ramsay has done well for himself in the states with his reality tv show?

I had forgot to mention another show I got hooked on while house sitting. At first when I saw the ads, I didn't think I would like it but I feel in love with MTV's Rob and Big. Rob is a professional skater and Big is his bodyguard and they are roommates in LA. I am not a fan of unscripted reality shows because it's just so boring to me. Rob and Big don't have a script but they always have something fun to do and Rob is just a big laugh. Thank goodness I'm not house sitting anymore and I don't have cable or else I'll be in front of the TV all day. But here's a trailer from YouTube so you guys can see Rob and Big Preview

The only reality show I watch is American Chopper. The rest I hate with a passion. It bugs me that my TV license money is paying for this crap.

I really do not watch much reality TV. The reality shows that I do watch are mostly the talent (or lack of) competitions. I watch "American Idol" (I Love Simon Cowell), "So You Think You Can Dance" and as of late I have been watching "Grease- You're The One that I Want". As a guilty pleasure (or Not) I have been watching "I Love New York" (as discussed in another thread). I really do not consider I Love NY a real reality show as it is more of reality Farce. I mean that the show is so awful and absurd that it is ridiculous

I tend to steer clear from Reality TV shows in general but I enjoy one-off documentries like when they follow the life of a Celebrity for a month or something like that (VH1 All Access documentries for example).
I was watching Celebrity Big Brother UK and was hooked but now that it's finished, there's not much in the way of reality TV on worth watching.
I am looking forward to watching the show called 'Armed and Famous' that's been showing in America. It looks fantastic! It's when they turn celebrities into real life cops and looks a riot.

Oh I like E!'s True Hollywood Stories. They are kind of on the depressing side sometimes but you really get a great insight on the star and see just how human they are.
