How long has reality TV been around? A decade? Probably, something like that. In the early years I resisted the allure of Big Brother and Survivor and The Amazing Race and The Bachelor. I didn't want to be sucked in by shows that would consume too much time and which had no storyline and which created a false sense of celebrity. Notice my mention of "sucked in"? Yeah, I know myself well enough to recognise that I could be a victim and so it has come to pass. All resistence was futile. After a couple of seasons of Idol, Australian and then American, I am now marking my calendar for each week's episode of Next Top Model, Top Chef and Project Runway. The first two I can take or leave, really, but I LOVE Project Runway. Have even started watching Tim Gunn's Guide To Style. Not as good as Trinny and Susannah, in fact it's borderline irritating and I don't know why I keep watching.
How about you -- are you a reality show addict? Which do you watch each season, regardless?
