So who here watches any sort of reality show?
Personally there's only one I will watch, and that's Duck Dynasty. Nothing like rednecks with money for a laugh!
What do you watch and why?

Cops. Makes me feel better about myself.
I don't, and that's why.Originally Posted by Wrider
I've seen a couple episodes of Duck Dynasty and those dudes are funny and sure as hell live it up!
The Ultimate Fighter.
All of the "reality" drama of people living in a house together, but they actually get to fight each other!

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

Jersey Shore had that too, but that show was everything wrong about humanity.

The return of MRA #321! Sponsored by Western Ambulance, Chicane Trackdays, and a very patient wife...
Pawn Stars, Gold Rush, Bering Sea Gold, Deadliest Catch, Chasing Classic Cars, Wheeler Dealers, Cafe Racer, Overhaulin', and Next Greatest Artist. I'm sure there are others...
Do TopChef and Chopped count as reality? I consider them more cooking gameshows. How about HouseHunters International, or HouseHunters Alaska? I love seeing those cool houses! And they give prices too, for future plans...
One episode showed Jason Elam and his wife shopping for a cool little $1M private island home up there. Incl. a dock for his seaplane! Seals and whales were breaching not far from the deck!

It comes out after Full Throttle Saloon so I end up watching it, but it is about oil well drillers.

Here is a cool clip that shows one of the drillers (smaller guy) knocking out a bigger guy that starts the fight with a cheap shot

I had a mad crush on Elly Mae when I was a kid (and MaryAnne too of course). God loves a woman who can handle a rifle. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition, AMEN!...

Not your standard reality shows but good gear head stuff.

Wheeler Dealers
Overhaulin'
I like the auctions too.
Mecum

I caught this by chance the other weekend. It's freaking awesome. Fixed Amish buggy racing, Amish turf war, Amish raves. Just when I think I may have discovered the greatest show ever...BOOM...
They hit me with the midget Amish gangster. That's right, Wee Man with a beard and hat doing gangster shit. Pure awesomeness.
I give you gentlemen full marks for managing to associate Beverly Hillbillies theme song lyrics into a thread. Well played, sirs.

Anyone catch the Joe Schmo show on Spike? Complete non-reality reality show... Good for a few laughs.

Also, Barrett-Jackson and Mecum auto auction shows... love them. Must be rough to have that kind of money...
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
I'm not sure what "reality" really means since a good portion of the shows seem to be scripted. That said, here's a few I watch:
Overhaulin'
Wheeler Dealer
Restaurant Impossible
Chopped
Iron Chef America (plus the sub-series)
Joe Schmo Show season 3
Ultimate Fighter
Property Brothers
Holmes on Homes
Does Good Eats count as a reality show? What about Diners, Drive Ins and Dives?
The closest thing to immortality on this earth is a Federal government program - RR
Deadliest Catch
Biggest Loser
It's the only two that seem to have the least amount of contrived drama. With Biggest Loser, it's pretty neat to see a reality show where people change their lives for the better instead of seeing the worst of humanity.
1998 VFR800 Interceptor - resurrected and custom tail http://vfrworld.com/forums/5th-gener...98-vfr800.html
1999 DR650SE
Deadliest catch is one of the shows that producers push crews to create drama. I work beside a lot of the crabbers and fisherman of Dutch Harbor. The city of Dutch Harbor doesn't care much for the show. It has brought a lot of unwanted riff raff to town. However it's still a fun show to watch and on occasion ill see myself or the barge I run on there. Kinda cool!
Amish Mafia
Triple D
Gold Rush
Moonshiners
These are ones I've seen recently that we're pretty good.
