I'll start--

My name is Maxim. I am a huge fan of reality television. With me it started with the Real World on MTV. Then grew from there to Cops on Fox. Once I had the taste for the "Big Brother" effect, I craved it. Something about seeing people at their most vulnerable or at their lowest; or seeing people at their bravest moments, either inspired or disgusted me. But from there I learned something about myself. Either I knew what I would never do (no matter what the cost) or what I was capable of doing.

So there you have it. This may very well be the closest I come to Reality TV.

Please, enjoy yourselves and if you have any problems or complaints. Please know that I am just an email away!

Hi Leo,

I like So You Think You Can Dance and America's Got Talent as well. SYTYCD was pretty good last year, but somehow I knew that Sabre would win it. \\And as with some reality shows, I like looking at the auditions for it.

I have been posting this year on Idol so far. David C is the one to beat this year.

Hi all,

My favs would have to be Survivor, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, and So you think you can dance. I used to like America's Top Model, but now it seems to be a parody.

Looking forward to seeing the posts here.

June

I'm Smokey and love almost all of the Reality TV shows. It's amazing that I do because I never really watched until the writers strike.

Hell's Kitchen, Dancing with the Stars, Idol my favs.

Good to have one place to go for all your reality tv show fixes!

Yeah, I like Hell's Kitchen, too. I just don't understand why any chef would go through that abuse.

But, it's fun to watch!

Hi everyone!

I'm "mockingbird" and like Maxim, watched the Real World, (the first "real" reality show I think), many years ago. The voyeurism in most of us really is interesting.

I really love Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen (anyone choosing to be on that show will need hospitalization or medication by the time they're voted off!!!). American Idol and I just can't think of them now. But some I don't watch faithfully every week - I'll skip it or watch parts of it.

Thanks Maxim for the invite!

Hopefully everything is great!
