<Overexposure.
You should tell that to Richard. Anyway i don't have a choice when it comes to watching it (I'm watching it right now) cause my mom loves it. But i find it amusing because of how low and how stupid some of the people can be. It surprised me that they never figured out how to light a fire, they really should have looked at what everything had with them(couple of them wear glasses.)

Personaly I don't know how it is still on TV. I thought that the reality tv craze eneded along tome ago. I mean those other 200 odd show were all canceled like big brother, the mole. But I guess there is still that average joe stuff and fear factor.
Your right it got way to hyped. It reminds me or those cheesy day time soaps, there is no acting/talent, and you have to watch every episode or your lost. Also its like the soaps in that there is no actual interesting part to it, but you have to watch to see what happens, kind of like an addiction.
Whatever I guess there is no acounting for peoples taste (or lack).

Just ridiculous in my opinion, these people couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag. I have better things to do, like floss my cat's teeth. "Reality TV" that isn't. Go figure. Reality and TV will never work in the same sentence.

I think Survivor is entertainment, but its only good for "off season" ratings. Without NYPD Blue on anymore my TV attention span is near "0". Seems like most popular(?) shows have reruns scattered throught the regular season. Only watch ER & Friends about once a month and half of those are reruns (so off goes the TV) - what do they do only make about 8 shows and its a wrap?

What do you mean you don't se how they could stage it. Tell the "contestants" what to do, it is not that difficult. The whole concept of reality TV is a joke anything on TV is not real life even on a news interview people will act different if they know they are on camara. Movies look realy don't they? So why is it so hard to apply the same concepts of fabrication and planning to so called "reality" television? There may be some elements of open elements in the story line but that in truth is just improvisiation by the actors. Who knows these shows may actually be the real thing but even so we see only what they want us to see. They edit it to make a good entertaning show not a representation of life, if they portrayed "reality" then even fewer people would watch.

And even the concept of "reality" in "real" life is subjective. We learn what the textbook writers want us to learn. We read what the newspaper editiors want us to read. Any one who says that the information given to us by reporting media is fair and impartial needs a "reality" check.
