Fall '10 Reality Shows: 'Survivor'; 'Apprentice'; 'Dancing w/the Has-Beens'

Anybody onboard?

When Karina Smirnoff (the body on her! omfg) gets voted off, I'm jumpin' ship on the latter (if I can make it that far, that is).

Doggies mushy tomorrow night on The Apprentice!

Survivor? Not really feelin' it yet, but I'm hangin'.

Survivor FAH-REAK! I've rarely missed a single episode. Pretty sure this season premiere was the third one in it's entire run. For a very long time it was the only reality tv I would even consider watching (other than, like, Cops or Real World - the latter of which I no longer watch). I don't watch a lot of TV to begin with, but I was also just being a snob about the glut or poorly produced drivel that was getting huge ratings (thankfully that's calmed down a bit).

These days I'd be a straight liar if I didn't own up to watching anything with Gordon Ramsey in it - but especially Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef, LA Ink, Pawn Stars and American Pickers.... I guess Iron Chef is reality. hmmm And I just started watching The Amazing Race last season. I fought it because I refused to admit it could be as good as Survivor. lol Now days, other than CSI (just the original) and probably The Event, that's really all the tv I watch other than sports programming. I also record nearly all of those to watch in the middle of the night or early in the morning. Oh... and The World Series Of Poker, too.

Survivor AND Apprentice this time around...

------------

Survivor - I'm warming up to a few but I totally dated myself on the last ep. I found myself agreeing with EVERYTHING the olds wanted to do and how they handled things... disbelief

Is it just me or are the young ones all suffering from Dbagitis?? I can't seem to vibe with them... ('cept for Brenda cuz she fancy, huh...)

------------

Apprentice - Haven't found any clear favorites here either... I do like that they're back to real people though... the celebs was good for a minute but now...

------------

Just started The Amazing Race too... lot's of Athletes this go 'round so that should be great!

------------

Loved Master Chef (while it was on...)

Also into Hell's Kitchen and this is the best season yet... chock full of Bitches and Assholes!! nod

There's people on both tribes that I like, but there's more people that I REALLY DISLIKE on the younger tribe. I never really make up my mind about most contestants until way further into the show. Too much of the impression we get is just the editing.

The first episode of the Amazing Race was definitely WAY better than the first episode of Survivor this season. I'm glad the super-douche guy said he was humbled by the experience, but I'm not really expecting him to change. lol

Master Chef was interesting, but it's my least favorite of all Ramsey's shows so far. I wish he'd do an American version of The F Word. Not sure that side of him is popular enough in the states, though. Definitely loving HK so far this season. Looking forward to watching the tonight's episode in a couple hours.

How could they vote of Jimmy Johnson so early. I don't think they bodes well for the elders future as a team. I'm probably wrong, though.

OMG the girl with the tattooed eyebrows on HK has THE most annoying voice. Makes me cringe.

That was a HUGE mistake... huge!!! However, he kinda set himself up for it by saying he was the weakest, I understand where he was coming from but the rest of his team was too blind to see it...

Huge mistake though, they may never recover from that...

and for the record...

Naonka rolleyes ... bish puhleaze!!!

yeahthat

Those old farts don't see that what's his face is setting them up to take over? Maybe it was the editing, but has he been doing anything to help out the tribe as far as chores, like fishing, gathering fire wood, or strengthening the shelter? All I've ever seen him do is stand around and pontificate about how Coach should go. rolleyes

oooh! a shit TV thread! how'd I miss?

Love survivor...always have. Totally LOVED Jimmy J. Can't believe they voted him off...I think they will regret that.

and Naonka is a BITCH! I have never seen any one so mean and nasty. She's like saying she's not going to treat that girl any different because she's only got one leg...but she is!! she's treating her worse for it. I could not believe she said something to the effect of she better not leave that thing by the fire. I'm tellin' ya if that bitch does anything to that woman's fake leg...I'ma jump through the TV and strangle her!

and...she's a PE teacher! ugh...I hope not for young children.

I've missed Amazing race so far and I've only caught a lil bit of dancing with the stars.

what about the biggest loser? anyone watching? I love that one smile

"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

Yeah, I couldn't believe Naonka would say those things to camera. I just sat here stunned. The thing is, no matter how far she goes in the game, unless she does a complete 360 like, next week! There is NO WAY they would ever vote to give her the money. She's just good entertainment value... or bad... somethin'. lol

They change the way the show is run and the way it's edited in small ways almost every season. I kind of like that about it, actually. But I did notice last season that food never seemed like an issue and thought that was odd. I thought for sure when Jimmy was "talking" to the monkeys that they were going to try to catch, kill and eat one of those suckers. lol

What's a "Doggies"? Like... canines? lol I can't get into The Apprentice. I've tried a couple times, too. Watched nearly the entire season of Celebrity with Annie Duke. Which is really saying something for me because I can't stand Joan Rivers. Obviously I was not happy with the finale. lol Anyway, I've never been a fan of The Donald. That's my main problem with the show. Dude bugs.

I can't stand Joan Rivers.

She's actually really funny and quick-witted (always a good Stern interview), but she went a little mental on Celebrity Apprentice.

Anyway, I've never been a fan of The Donald. That's my main problem with the show. Dude bugs.

He has some redeeming qualities. It's his daughter that gets on my tits. Can't stand her. barf

Whooooa... quoting the split boxes like that ^^ makes weirdness. So I'm just going to post regular style.

The Donald get my respect for making it, falling, and climbing back up again. I've also seen him be very funny on Letterman more than once. But during those same Letterman appearances I've seen him do some crazy ass rich people talk, as well. Mostly it's just looking at the guy. He's got one of those faces that is perfect for radio.

A lot of people have said the exact same thing to me about Joan Rivers and find it very hard to believe that I wouldn't like her for some reason. I have NEVER understood what is appealing about her. And in this case I really mean never. Since I was a child and she was on game shows a lot. Then when I was a bit older and she was regularly on Carson. I just don't dig her shtick. Too much degrading other people for the benefit of a cheap laugh.
