Reality T.V. is everywhere, whatever channel you're hook up to, whether it's local or through cable, this new t.v genre is really a phenomenal. I first noticed this kind of genre through the show, "Who wants to marry a millionaire", then there's "Joe millionaire", and alot of dating show followed. But the one of the first reality show that became very popular was "Survivor", the one who starts with all this "voting-out" thing. Then there's this American Idol, Big Brother, The Apprentice and so on.
For this blog entry, I would like to post my 10 favorite reality shows, both local and foreign and my favorite contestant or cast for that particular show. Usually, my bet for that show don't usaully win... these are in random order
1. Amerca's next top model season 4
I posted a blog entry re this show. It was Rebecca that made me hook to it. She looks like Bianca King, but ofcourse, an upgraded version. Naima won the cycle 4 (who also looks great). The 5th cycle is now being shown in Starworld Channel and on Studio 23, they're a bit late coz they're featuring the cycle 3 still.
2.Survivor Africa
Although that Ethan guy won the show, it must have been Lex van den Berghe for my bet eversince the show started. A bit scheming, but he's a very strong personality that a survivor must have.
3. Simple Life Interns
It is not a contest but it is definitely a reality show. It was Paris that made ignited me to watch it but it came out as Nicole Richie (Lionel's adopted daughter) to capture my interest. She's very witty and has a very bold personality. She's hot...
4. MTV shows
From "Punk'd", to "The Osbournes", from The Newlyweds to Becomming, from "I bet you will" to "Boiling point".. there's a lot actually, I can't even remember them all. but most of the time, I always have a a chance of watching "Pimp my ride". Some shows that I used to watched with MTV's reality shows also include Dave and Carmen, till death do us part, Crib, I want that famouse face, and ofcourse, "Laguna Beach"...
5.Pinoy Big Brother
I'm also fond of local shows, though most of them were patterned from the tv shows abroad. One of these would be the Big Brother by Endemol productions. Last year, PBB took us by storm. The Million Dollar Franchise of ABSCBN was worth paying for since the made noise throughout the entire archipelago. Say Alonzo was my bet on the first season, but was votted out and didn't even made to the finals. I wasn't hooked up with the Celebrity and teen edition so I don't have my bet. Say is gorgeous, I met her at the ABSCBN lobby.. I was stunned.
6.American Idol
Well, we had glimpse of talent search show in the form of "Star Search" in the 90's . That's when we first saw the ever famouse Britney Spears. I learned about A.I. just when Kelly Clarkson won the 1st season, and I got interested to it when Jasmine Trias made it to the top 3. The recent season made me more into it, it's just that Taylor Hicks won while my bet, Chris Daugherty made it to the top 4. Fantashia, Reuben, and Clay Aiken are the past winners of this talent search.
7. Star In a Million (season 1)
yup, most of the new and successful singers of today came from this show. Last night I watched MTV Pilipinas 2005 and I was surprised that the Best new male was Christian Bautista, whcih also a product of this talent show. Sheryn Regis is also one of the talents of ASAp that came from that show. Although Eric Santos won, it's Marinelle Santos, for me. could have won... She really got the talent and "attitude".
8. Amazing Race 4
Riechen and Chip won... They even landed here in the Philippines for some tasks but left on the same day.
9. Project Runway
I failed to watch the first few episodes but luckily I was able to watch the complete fisrt season on DVD. It was Jay who won but for me, it could have been Kara Saun since she won most of the tasks.. The second season is already finished in the states and the winner even designed the Long gown of Ms USA for MS Universe Pageant.. but I think by next week, it's gonna be shown on ETC.
10. Rockstar Supernova
yup, after the phenomenal "Rockstar INXS", here comes another headbanging talent search for Rockstars. The band "Supernova" is searching for their new vocalist, and take note, the band consist of Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and this certain guitarist.. hehehe,,, sorry I don't exactly know his name but I'm sure that he came from a popular band since the two were famouse too... I guess that it would be Dilana or toby who will win.... you can catch Rockstar Supernova on Starworld every Wed and Thursday morning at 8, or visit rockstar.msn.com
here are the list of my not so favorite reality shows..
-Beaty and the Geek
-The 5th wheel, and other dating shows on ETC
-Average joe
-Biggest Loosers
-The Swan
-How clean is your house?
-and all other "let's-makeover-your-house" shows on the Lifestyle network.. hehehe
