My Favorite Reality Shows

Three significant things happened in my life last week:
1) Absolutely nothing 2) Ryan posted about "The Surreal Life" 3) I watched a lot of Reality TV. So since I have nothing better to do (and because people are complaining about my lack of posts), I have decided to list my 10 favorite reality TV shows. Here goes:
10) The Simple Life
Two words: Paris Hilton
9) The Restaurant
I've only seen a few episodes of this show but it was fun to watch. See Rocco get fat, see Rocco fire the chef and name himself chef, see Rocco flip-out and start making pizzas for everyone (in a fine dining establishment). Oh yeah...and the restaurant repeatedly catches on fire.
8) Road Rules VS. Real World Challenge
You get to watch all the annoying former cast members of Real World & Road Rules (none of which have real jobs...still) cry, bitch, moan, hook-up, cry, argue, fight, cry while performing stunts and playing games in some exotic location.
7) ESPN Dream Job
Contestants put their sports knowledge and on-camera abilities to the test as they compete for a job as an ESPN Sportscenter anchor. Sometimes I'm a dork...deal with it.
6) American Idol
The best part of this show BY FAR is the auditions...the bad ones. Simon Cowell is hilarious as he makes fun of people and basically ruins their lives. Once the show becomes serious (only good performers remain) it is not nearly as much fun to watch. By the way...does anyone try harder than Randy Jackson to be cool? Dawg!
5) Newlyweds
Yeah, Jessica Simpson is pretty hot, but the biggest surprise is how "normal" Nick Lachey is. I could watch this show all day long...but I'm not sure why...its just funny.
4) The Amazing Race
If I had seen more than 6 episodes I have a feeling this might be my favorite reality show. You should really check it out. At least 2-3 different countries are visited in every episode, you get to hear boyfriends and girlfriends tell each other to shut the f*** up and this year there was even a midget! Its basically a real life board game that takes place all over the world. Great Stuff.
3) Fear Factor
I never, ever miss this show. The closer the contestants come to puking, the happier I am. Some of the stunts are really cool too. Although, sometimes I get the feeling that some of the contestants have never seen the show before. "Water?!? I'm afraid of water...I can't swim!" or "That is so gross!! I hate bugs!." Uh hello, that's what this show is all about, thanks for paying attention.
2) The Apprentice
I love this show but it scares me that some of these people actually run companies when they are not on "The Apprentice." There are interesting goals/tasks every week and there are plenty of people available to hate (which always makes for good TV).
1) Survivor
Definitely the best reality show. Every episode is interesting and there are plenty of people to root for and against. Every year I swear I will never watch it again because I get sooo mad at how stupid (and gullible) some of the people on the show are. But every season I'm right back watching again.

**Sorry Ryan, but once Brigitte Nielson and Flavor Flav hooked up I was so sickened that I could barely open my eyes again, let alone watch "The Surreal Life."
