It's a bit shit isn't it? I mean it's cheap and easy programming and has a nasty habit of turning 'ordinary' folk into L grade celebs overnight.
Here is an overview of all the reality tv on tonight...
1. Border Patrol - Currently number one in the ratings for the Tuesday night timeslot can you believe! It's all about customs and quarantine at Sydney Airport. Mainly about clueless Chinese geriatricts bringing in all sorts of odd asian food like dried dogs ears and such like.
2. The Force - Backing up from Border Patrol (and shamelessly cashing in said programs success) it's about, you guessed it, the Australian Police Force. Right now, they have pulled over a young lad with a noisy exhaust. I kid you not.
3. Torvill & Dean's Dancing on Ice - Oh. My. God. Minor celebs, specifically a male model you've never heard of, a female model who has been on one advert and a rather unpopular breakfast show host battle it out on ice for the crown of who can look the least uncomfortable shuffling around on ice skakes. Riveting.
4. Star Portraits - Stolen from the UK and hosted by Rolf Harris and is about 3 artists painting some celebrity. Ground breaking stuff.
5. Real Crime - You guessed it, they've turned CSI into a reality tv "documentary". I can imagine the TV Executives rubbing their hands with glee.
All in one night, why Australian TV you are spoiling us...

Ah yes, reality TV or as I call it LCD TV... LCD of course being Lowest Common Denominator.
Thankfully Big Brother (and all it's unbelievably annoying and omnipresent support shows) has finished now, giving us more time for such jems as:
Traffic Cops - Today PC Jones finds a blown tail light on an F reg Corsa...
Love Island - Pure evil, who cares about some vacuous bimbo / himbos efforts to get their collective ends away!?!
How do you solve a problem like Maria - effectivly televised auditions for the Sound of Music
Who's Banana is this? (I made the last one up, but maybe I should be in charge of TV with ideas like that!)
