Reality T.V.

So what are everyone's views on Reality T.V? Survivor, So you think you can Dance (Canada), American Idol, Canadian Idol.

Now what about the Bacheolr, The Biggest Loser, Big Brother, Jon and Kate etc.....

We have been exposed to so much reality TV, that when a new show appears we just accept it, and move on or watch it.

There is a new show coming out called "More to Love". Firstly the title i think is offensive, but this is the run-down of the show:

"Fox is teaming with "The Bachelor" producer Mike Fleiss for a new dating-competition series that casts "average-looking" people.
The series, titled “More to Love,” is billed as the first “dating show for the rest of us,” throwing open its doors to overweight contestants.
“For six years it’s been skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors, and that’s not what the dating world looks like,” Fox president of alternative Mike Darnell said. “Why don’t real women -- the women who watch these shows, for the most part -- have a chance to find love too?”
The project has a similar format to "The Bachelor," where a group of woman compete for a relationship with one man (producers describe him as a “Kevin James-type”). "More to Love" also marks the first time Darnell and Fleiss have teamed for a series in nine years. The duo’s previous dating show was the controversial and groundbreaking 2000 special “Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?” which set the format template for ABC’s “Bachelor” and a legion of imitators."

What are your thoughts?

I agree that it shouldn't be just "beautiful people" on TV, but to create a TV show called More to Love, and its about heavy weight people? I don't think that shows a lot of Tact on the networks part.

The name is very offensive. I don't really like reality TV minus American Idol to be honest though.

Well some reality tv I love! I love love love me some Big Brother! Can't help myself!! lol. I did watch American Idol a few seasons back in the day but lost interest.

As far as other reality, nah. Survivors ok but only if there is nothing else on.

I do think "more to love is offensive" but I say if people want there 15 min of fame the so be it. I wouldn't watch
