hahaha i love how the guys reacted :P

in my opinion they're useless .. well most of them are .. ones like "The Biggest Loser" are beneficial in my opinion .. but others like "American Idol" where the world spends money voting for people is just a waste of time and money.

The thing I hate most about them is the SMS thingy. Its so simple that they are busy on sweeping people's money away. Yet, many people don't get it.

Can we discuss 'moment of truth' if any of you guys watch it.....I mean people find it entertaining but it has devastating effects on participants and their family.

But most of them showcase some admirable talent and are a platform for many. It brings fame and money.

Well "moment of truth" is more of a game show than a reality show .. like "who wants to be a millionaire" and yeah i agree some participants just reveal too much .. greedy people! :P

This might add little to the debate, but what the heck!

I started watching The Powerpuff Girls, but then they started repeating the episodes.
I started watching Indian Soap Operas, but then they started to make more and more garbage.
I started watching Reality Shows, but then they started to become dramas.

I now watch American suspense and fantasy dramas. u__u They makes shorter garbage and hence, the drama is shorter.
All that is on earth will perish:
But will abide (forever) the Face of thy Lord--full of Majesty, Bounty & Honor.
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?

I agree it does. But the participants voluntarily choose to play the game && reveal everything. They can stop answering whenever they like. Or they can sit home & watch other people's lives getting destroyed. But they choose to participate.
Moreover, its a business && the show has to make money. The show gives drama that the people ask for. Personally, I love the show.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius . && Its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. :)

People say they'd rather have something , than nothing at all . But the truth is : Having something halfway is harder than not having it at all.
