PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Once upon a time, a producer proposed a reality show..." |
...with the tentative name of The Twist. The idea was to gather contestants, tell them the winner would be given a cash prize at the end, explain a few very simple rules, and send them on their way. But, as the show progressed, each rule would be broken, from the most trivial to those at the heart of the show. And the new rules, once established and made to look like the norm, would in turn be broken themselves. Every single assumption would be challenged. No one would be given a moment's peace. There would be no elements of the contestant's lives allowed to remain the same from day to day. Special mirrors would be placed around the playing area to make it appear as if the sun was setting in the west. And, when no one could understand what was going on, the contestants had clawed at the walls and begged to be released, the viewers had given up on the drek and turned it off forever -- only then would the cash prize be dispensed to a more-or-less randomly chosen contestant. Assuming there still was a cash prize.But CBS decided that wasn't a strong enough idea on its own, so they decided to add a bunch of hamsters in a cage and call it Big Brother 5. (Or: if anyone's been wondering why there was no love/loathe list this week, it's because I hit the give-up point eight shows in.)

Exactly! I hate this show. Why isn't it enough to just put people in a house with cameras and let them vote each other out?
That's enough!

Because that gets boring after the first season.
