to participate in ANY reality show?

Big Brother
Survivour
Fear Factor
Temptation Island
etc

I saw the final of Surviour Vanavatu (spelling?) tonight, and it made me think of a few people on this forum, and how GREAT they would be on Surviour -

NOW that would be telelvision worth watching!

Interesting question....I would not participate in a reatlity show for any amount of money! Thoses things drive me crazy.....but i agree that there are certain "characters" around here that would be entertaining on a show.}(

I wouldn't do any of them. I don't like that kind of attention and they really make the people look like jerks.
 
I can honestly say I have never watched them and do not intend to.:) Personally, I could never do it because I would not want to expose myself to comment and criticism from the whole country! I would hate to make a fool of myself.
 
I'd be much more open to something like Survivor than a Temptation Island, Bachelor, Marry My Dad, Fool My Family into thinking I am marrying a jerk, Donald Trumpie, etc. type show. All of these "reality" shows are ridiculous (sorry, just My opinion) and I cannot stand them! The Survivor show actually has some kind of something to it! The job type shows (Donald Trump) are okay but I think that the whole public opinion thing is difficult to handle. The whole dating scene show is the most silly thing I can imagine and the people make idiots of themselves. And the whole reality show industry now makes fun of itself with "hoax" shows!

That being said, I think that I'd still probably never do even Survivor. The most criticism that you hear from the people on these shows is that they were made to look like a completely different person and that editing really wasn't fair.
 
I would love to do a show like Survivor, but while my mind is willing, my body isn't able to hold up in circumstances like those on Survivor. I'm not a weakling or out of shape or anything like that...it's my allergies and my asthma that would do me in. I am allergic to many types of seafood (which is mostly what they eat), and I have all kinds of other allergies. I also have an extremely low tolerance to digestive system issues. I have to make sure to eat regularly. If I don't, I can get really sick. I also have IBS and sometimes any little thing, including sleep deprivation or lack of food will set me off on a highly uncomfortable and debilitating IBS episode that lasts for 2 or more days at a time. My asthma prevents me from swimming, and swimming seems to be a key component to all the Survivor shows (except the disastrous Africa season).

So, while I think being on Survivor would be an experience to end all experiences, I think my body would give out long before my mind, and I'd have to withdraw from the game. :(

Also, I'm the kind of person who would do it just to do it. I don't think I'd really be focused on the money...I'd be focused on the experience itself. I'd want to go all the way just to say that I made it that far, not because of the money at the end. In other words, I'd want to do it all the way, or not at all. I'd see anything less than going all the way as an unfulfilled opportunity. That's just the kind of person that I've always been.
 
I would never want to be a part of ANY of these so-called "reality" shows, though I do like to watch Survivor.

I can't understand why people would want to do "Big Brother": living with 12 (?) complete strangers for a month. Having your every move filmed. There are even cameras in the bathroom! I'm definitely NOT an exhibitionist, which you seem to have to be to be on that show.
 
hi ladies,

I have to say that there is one reality show that my husband and I watch all the time and would love to do and that is Amazing Race.

I am not sure if that is really considered reality tv but I really like that show.
 
I would try Survivor--it actually looks like it could be kind of fun. Also I'd be willing to give the Apprentice a shot. No way would I do Fear Factor. I don't have the stomach for it.
 
Maximus.......Im not surprised you said you would do Survivor because you were "one" of the forum members I was thinking about when I asked the question.

You would SO kick those whining skinny ased chicks they always have on there - but the men would proberly try and get you voted of early - something to do with "male pride" I would think!

Good for you

I wouldn't do the show. I'm sorry that they glorify all the bad behavior. When you are tired, hungry and trying to win 1 Mil dollars, it sure brings out the "Lord Of The Flies" in people. The worst is when they celebrate people stripping naked for food.
Not exactly a role model for me or my children.

LOL Marion! I've never even seen a whole show--just bits & pieces. It was one of the first that turned me off, when they had to eat some kind of slug or something. But I'm still willing to give it a shot. If I can do Atkins for 2 years I guess I could eat worms for one night.
