Correct me if I'm wrong, only the winners get paid right? And the other people go home with nothing on most of these shows, not even a parting gift.? They'd be better off buying a lottery ticket! ;D

ABA you are right on some of these shows you win absolutely nothing unless you are the winner. That is why I lean toward what Ivory said in an earlier post most of these people are looking for fame and to boost their careers.

That is so just a waste of good time. These people have no concept of fame. Your fame is you deck swabbed 20 men in a couple of days and one of then was stupid enough to stay with after that.

Well, in all fairness, the bachelor or bachelorette have never kissed twenty of the contestants, it's more like three. I just think throwing intimacy into the mix so early, and in front of all the other suitors is bound to make you look bad. I realize that no one buys a car without testdriving it first, but there's plenty of time for that LATER. Find out if you and the guy can be FRIENDS first!

I knew you would like it. I made it up today and it sound a little better than swapping spit. ;D ;D

It really does sound better. ;D Swapping spit isn't as... sophisticated.

Remember "Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire"? That was a total mess, which I expect Joe Millionaire to be. Well, not really the show, but the marriage, if they ever make it that far.

you call it swabbing the decks? i call it looking for gold teeth! has anyone been unfortunate enough to watch these 2 shows-ELIMIDATE and THE 5TH WHEEL? girls and guys get pretty competitive on those shows-fondling and feeling up and frenching and what have you. all for displaying your ignorant side for other dumb folks to be ''entertained''. when i die i hope i won't be remembered for watching tv for my life's mark.yep, uncle sukka was a great guy, when he wasn't being silly on the web, he was always watching guys and girls swabbing the deck on bachelorette meets beavis and south park at just shoot me!  -have mercy!  |

What they REALLY need is a TRUE REALITY TV show like "Who Wants a Job in Today's Economy," "Meet My Poor Folks," "The Joneses (Life in the Projects)," "How to Make a Living on Welfare"... They may not be entertaining, but it'll be eye-opening and REAL. That's what reality tv should be.
None of those so-called reality tv shows are real! Not even the people in them! Come on, why don't they have any average people in them? They are always somewhat well to do. Look at "Meet My Folks" Why do they all have big houses and pools? Did the network pick these houses and put them there? There are NO overweight people on these shows! HOW REAL IS THAT?!!! This is America!!! The only fat guy we had was Richard Hatch and after that Survivor started getting these athletic, buff people. If you really want to make it challenging, HELP NORMAL PEOPLE LOSE WEIGHT!!!
How about "Joe Cop"? A show about like an average citizen given a chance to help make the streets more safe? Or follow the life of anyone in a bad neighborhood or the neighborhood watch. Well, Richmond has one of the best reality tv shows anywhere and that is the live broadcasts of City Council meetings. THAT is REAL (and can get dramatic and entertaining). How the heck do I get to be a network exec.? I should start my own network with my cousin...

Now thats Real TV! Didn't Good Morning America, or some show like that, divide people into two teams to help them lose weight? I think that was a good idea. As long as the contestants dont mind being seen by millions of people.

and they get 10 bucks for every pound they lose, and then 6 months later, another 10 bucks per pound if they've kept it off, and then another 10 bucks per pound if they 've kept it off for one year.
that'll keep them focused!
plus the best loser(of weight) done correctly and NOT by starvation gets a new complete wardrobe!

That would encourage a person to lose weight and keep it off. Plus, with there being two teams, the competition encourages them to push for that goal. Not a bad idea!  |
