I like watching Wife Swap...they have some great ones....and sometimes I watch America's Top Model and wonder how/why the girls want to be so skinny and hollow.

Survivor and American Idol, all the rest are just too filled with fake Drama - Big Brother being the worst.

Yeah, I have a crush on Cat Deeley.
I like a lot of them:
Survivor (haven't watched the newest seasons)
Extreme Makeover Home Edition (always cry on this one)
So You Think You Can Dance
Amazing Race (bugged me that they explained the rules every show)
Age of Love (who'd he end up with, anyway? I was rooting for Jen)
Bachelor/Bachelorette
America's Got Talent (rooting for the little singer girl)
Probably more...

Oh wait, Hells kitchen off and on as well.
Mixed Martial arts isn't a reality show, it's a sporting event! And it ROCKS!

Wildcat, maybe you'll aprreciate this: I was a semi-finalist for Survivor four different times, and a finalist for Survivor Marqueses (finalist = final 48 people whittled down from 50,000).
Every new person who walks into my life gets dragged down to my TV and is initiated into my 6 year casting journey by watching all my application videos, as well as news stories about me. Twas exciting for a long long time, pondering my pending 15 minutes of glory, but now that the embers are dying, it seems like my party will never begin.
Although...once a reality junkie, always a reality junkie, and I have my feet in another reality fire, and am "this close" to getting cast on a bigger better reality show. Hard to imagine one better than Survivor, but it is being developed, and it will kick some serious arse.
My current faves are The Two Coreys, Addiction, and plain old Cops.

The closest that I've come to watching reality TV, was watching 'Dancing with the Stars'. Unless 'Country Fried Home Videos' hosted by Bill Engvall counts as reality TV! Or 'My Name Is Earl'......
OK, I guess I don't really watch any reality TV. Wait, I watched the O.J. Simpson "car chase" in '94....does that count??

I have not even seen one minute of "Survivor", "Dancing..", "Idol" or any of those competition-type shows.. they just hold zero interest for me.
I do like watching "SOS Tata" (Nanny 911) and "Cambio Moglie" (Changing Wives) because they give me some interesting insights into how real Italian families live. It's quite eye-opening to see the moms slaving over the lazy grown offspring and the kinds of tempter tantrums non-US kids have ("Lentils!! LENTILLLLLLS! I WANT LENTILS!!! WAAAAA!").
I also like the real crime investigation ones.
(we get a mix of American and Italian programming)

Amazing Race - my all time favourite show
Survivor - was much better before they casted all those wannabe actors
Hell's Kitchen - hoping that Rock wins next week
Top Chef - hard one this season as no-one is that likeable
The latest train wreck I am into is Flipping Out. Has anyone seen this one on Bravo about the house flipper with OCD? Does a fantastic job on the houses he flips, but despite his wealth I wouldn't swop places with him for any amount of money.
