h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Right, I've said it more than once and I'm sure I'll keep saying it in the future, I'm sure.

With regards to the dating shows, Temptation Island was bad enough, now there's Mr Personality and one Jo Millionaire, but now there's a show, one guy and 15 women, he dosen't know that the winner will get 1 Million Dollars, ok that's not so bad, but what they don't know is that the winner will be forced to choose between him and the money.

In my opinion that's just going to far, they're messing with peoples lives and there emotions and it can be dangerous and if it continues like this, it could end up very bad for all involved. Do I need to remind you what happened to the gay guy who said he was in love with his neighbour on that American chat show.

Thats the thing tho with most reality tv, the people involved are nothing more than animals, as long as it makes good viewing the 'human' consequences are ignored!

Its all about money and viewing figures, the people involved are just there to bring in big bucks for the company executives!

I personally refuse to watch most of this crap. The only one I will actually watch is Amazing Race, and really only for the scenery...they travel all over the world. Also, there's (usually) no eating of really disgusting things that people shouldn't put in their mouths. It's interesting to see how the teams fare on a personal level, though... most of them seem to really come together and learn to work as a team, and work around each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Well, there's my two cents for ya!
