3 types of reality shows

There are 3 types of reality shows in TV. I would watch the first and second type but will definitely NOT watch the third.

The first type of reality shows are the most worth while to watch. These are the type of shows that really showcase talents amongst its participants. You got the likes of Extreme Makeover, Dancing with the stars, America got talent, American Idol, You think you can dance and The Voice. There are some drama with some participants which adds flare to the show.

The second type of reality shows are decent enough to watch. These are the shows that have a lil bit more drama but still showcase some talents with the participants. Examples are Project Runway, Top Chef, Million dollar decorators, Flippin out, Design to sell and Hidden Potentials. At least in these shows you can still see the talents of the participants. There is something you can appreciate visually.

And the third and worst kind of reality shows do not showcase anything at all but just drama. The kind of drama that involves skeleton in the closet of ordinary people that we gawked at. These participants have no talent what so ever and often are not pleasant to look at too. Shows that fall on this category are The bachelor/Bachelorette, The real housewives of where ever, Kardashians & its derivatives, Big Brother, Jersey Shores, The A-list: New York and Survivor.
