Reality Bites!

I think i may have done a post on reality shows before but i'm going to do one again! I really dont understand some of them. Ok, granted, some reality shows are actually interesting. But then you get the E! entertainment channel that takes it too frikkin far. There's that show called "The Perfect Catch" and i watched one episode yesterday and i'm still not sure what the point of it is. Ok, there are like 6 'gorgeous people' that go around different islands in Greece looking for the 'perfect catch' (i.e the hottest man or woman they can find) and then... what? They can win R50 000 for finding a hot guy? I'd love to be in a brainstorming session with the people who come up with this junk.
"Ok, here's my idea. We audition thousands of beautiful people from around the world, then only pick 6. All the gals have to have enormous fake knockers and the men must be super tanned model types who live in the gym and idolize themselves."
"I'm liking the sound of this Marty!"
"Then, we put 'em all on a yacht in Greece and let them do pointless tasks like 'frowing balls into the sea, just so we can get aerial shots of the gals boobs yea, then we get em drunk afterwards and see what 'appens."
"Go on..."
"And they have to go onto the beaches looking for equally if not better looking 'catches' we'll call 'em (because it sounds witty and Carmen Electra has to say it) then bring em back to the boat at which point the judges (who think they 'ave the sun shining out of their arses) will rip apart these innocent people about their looks."
"MARTY YOU'RE A GENIUS!"
gah.

I understand how Big Brother might have been interesting, though I didn't like it, but most of those reality shows are anything but. They even have script writers.

It's funny you posted this after the show I watched last night. Do you get current tv? this channel pretty much shows only short documentaries (pods) made by *gasp* us regular folk who send them in! It was on SuperNews, which is a cartoon version of the news. It was about the death of MTV and how it only makes crappy reality tv now. It was pretty good. I'll try and dig up the segment.
