I am no fan

I am sure that almost everyone is familiar with Reality Shows that are oftenly diffuse on the televesion. I speak from experience, I don't know if this is the same case in your place. Maybe I am exaggerating but everytime I zap the channel there's always these reality show being aired. A brief explanation, Reality television is a genre of television programming which presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features "ordinary" people over professional actors (according to Wikipedia dictionary).

I could state some of non sense reality TV like the L'ile de la tentation (Island of Temptation) and I tell you it's nothing but a crap!
Regulations of the show : 4 couples voluntarily go on a deserted island for 10 days in order to see whether they will be able to resist each one (women are separated from their behalf either boyrfriend or husband) on the side of the island the temptation which represents the temptresses (for the men of 4 candidates) and on the other side of the island are their behalf (4 women) having their tempters beside!

Greg Le Millionnaire a man who plays a millionaire (the false millionaire ladykiller). The rules evolve on seduction and lie !

Marjolaine - Marjolaine (who was one of the candidates from Greg Le Millionaire), now she got her own new TV reality! Marjoralaine will have to choose among 15 men all brought together in a sumptuous villa in Marrakech where the seduction and the charm reign. Millionaires? not really, they are ordinary people (salesman, agents…) but the production transformed them into rich person heirs: Owners, Star Agents , Entrepreneurs etc. Marjolaine will choose the richest or the poorest, I would say !

Le Bachelor - The Single Gentleman. Rules of the game, the casting of the girls, the life of the Bachelor. The candidates will already have the complete profile of the Bachelor before the show begins. There will be 12 women candidates trying to win his attention. Women will do everything to capture Bachelor's heart! Bachelor will meet the 12 candidates, first day will he will spend with the 3 women, next day with 4 girls and so on and so forth . Everything will happen inside a large villa…

I would prefer watching reality shows with sense ! In France, they are diffusing these reality shows Star Academy, Nouvelle Star both are singing contest. At least, young and old people could join! Physical is just secondary but one needs to possess a talent in singing and stage impact ! This one is my favourite Kohlanta , a game of adventures !
Game Rules : Sixteen candidates must survive on a deserted island. They must find food and to protect themselves from the bad conditions, they should make fire by their own means. The candidates are divided between two teams of 8 (tribes): red and yellows teams. Generally bearing the name of the beach where they establish their camping. At the beginning, they do not have large stuffs: they a small water supply, a reserve of rice, a small case with some objects inside like a compass or a chart of the island. In Koh Lanta, the participants must build their “tents” and all that is necessary for them.

What I am excited about Koh Lanta is that the 7th edition of “Koh-Lanta” has been completed end of April. This year, the producers have chosen Philippines as a lieu of battle and adventure.
Koh Lanta shootings proceeded in an archipelago of Philippines, in bay of El Nido on the north-western coast of Palawan. 16 candidates (8 men and 8 women) voluntary shipwrecked men try to survive 40 days on a lost island in the middle of the ocean, at the same time hostile and paradisiac.

I have been surfing a lot lately to check about it to provide an english links translation for some of my non-french bloggers friends, unfortunately it's all in French. I've read some comments, people who are worried about the danger because of the Abu Sayaff but I am glad to tell you they are not !

Wow, you have lots of reality TV shows there. My favorite reality shows are The Apprentice, American Idol, and The Amazing Race. Oh, sometimes I watch The Next Top Model. Oh, that Koh Lanta does sound interesting. I'm sure the safety of the contestants are all provided for.

I was supposed to post something about this! This is the first time in 3 years that we have a tv set at home so I'm appalled at the n'importe quoi-ness (nag imbento talaga ng word eh, no?) of reality tv shows!

Well, TV is a waste of time... and reality shows are even more!
I could easily survive without TV.

Of course I would do an exception for Koh Lanta if it is happening in the Philippines ! ;-)

Koh Lanta sounds a lot like the American Survivor. There is also a reality show called The Bachelor in U.S. which we also get here in Canada. I have to admit I was also hooked on that show when it started. But after the 3rd installment, nagsawa na rin ako. :) Parang naging trash na kasi ang dating.
