It's like wrestling. Everyone knows it's fake, yet millions still watch it.

Keeping up with the Kardasihans, so obviously scripted, how can people watch that.

And all the MTV 'reality' shows, some people really believe it's not scripted lol

Agree. All those shows are shit, and the History Channel is just embarrassing themselves now with that stupid doomsday shit. I watched one of them last night for about 10 minutes. I heave heard so many assholes use so much pseudo science to try to drive their beliefs across in my life.

As for who to blame? Blame "Cops" that was the very first successful "reality show" and the others followed suite. I think History or Discovery (which ever it airs on) Deadliest Catch was the first run away hit for them.

I can't think of anything prior to it on that network and once it became a hit they started turning both the Discovery Channel & History Channel into Redneck Reality TV.

Real World on mtv is one of the originals too. Much more like most of today's scripted reality shows than COPS.
