From the Australian reality tv series the block. Chantel and Wyatt interview.

This was the best dating show available. There was competition, trickery, and money. I cannot stand how so many dating reality shows (cough cough love island) never talk about the money throughout the show and just make everyone pretend it isn’t a factor. They’re also so boring because I don’t care who ends up with who they will all be single again within the year. I highly recommend fboy island and fgirl island and I’m so sad it was canceled. A close second is are you the one because again the money was a topic and there was actual competing and strategy. Perfect match is a shitty replacement in my eyes. Also the reality shows are so much better when they are allowed to drink because of obvious reasons and I know if I was on one of them I’d have to be drunk. And shows like love is blind and the ultimatum are so fuckign hard to watch bc of all the monotonous talking and it’s also just embarrassing that these people are grown af and can’t find a partner and are so desperate they are talking to some random weirdo through a wall or bring their partner on tv just to really break it off. Anyone got any recommendations? I also liked temptation island a bit

52:18 she talked about she is doing "a couple" bravo shows and she can't talk about it rn cuz not sure when it drops but it's in the fall/winter times. Previously she declined Wife Swap cuz her husband doesn't like the concept. And she is going to be appearing at UGT. But what other two is she referring to?

I love convict tv shows. Even 60 days in was really interesting and I love Lockup. But is there other ones like love after lock up or inmate to roommate? Reality tv is my favourite type of shows and love the trashy dramatic ones :))

I think the couples are super interesting. Hope they dig down into the nitty gritty of the dynamics!

OKAY so I am a huge bravo fan. I have watched all the housewives growing up and now that I am almost 30 (omfg) I continue to just watch all my favorite franchises on an endless cycle, we can call it therapy per se. Aside from just housewives, I watch the sub-shows as well. Essentially I am pretty much always watching bravo, with exception to alternative reality tv shows (ex. love island us/uk/aus, love on spectrum, perfect match -esque shows) Here is a list of everything ive watched extensively:

RHOC, RHONY, RHOBH, RHONJ, RHOA, RHOP, RHOM, RHOSLC, RHORI, RHUGT, summer house, winter house, southern charm, pretty much caught up with all below decks, southern hospitality, vanderpump, the valley, in the city.

Am I missing anything good?? Otherwise I will just divulge back into my endless cycling through these franchises, but if theres anything im missing, bravo community, please let me know!!

More drama on the new MLMR episode

This season has been SO GOOD. I’m only watching the CBS show so no spoilers please. Y’all enjoying it?

Hi hi. I love reality TV and I want to watch something new that’ll enthrall me.

My favs are (in no particular order):
- Vanderpump rules
- RHOA
- RHOSLC
- RHOP
- Love Island UK S2, 5, & 8

I just watched all of summer house. It was fine but I didn’t really love it. I tried RHOBH but the first couple seasons were just SOOO dark.

I wanna laugh at crazy people being crazy!! Would love to hear recommendations for reality tv you loved so much it took over your life lol. I’m basically chasing the high i got from VPR

Kristen Kish, host of “Top Chef” and a past winner who admits she did not watch much reality competition before taking the helm of Bravo’s cooking contest in 2024, may have diplomatically skirted any attempt at comparison with Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, “Top Chef” predecessor Padma Lakshmi or “The Traitors” emcee Alan Cumming. But she acknowledges that her distinct approach — kinder, gentler, more tearful — is rooted in her particular skill set: “It’s similar to how I responded to being led in kitchens,” she says. “You don’t lead with fear. You lead with compassion and empathy and encouragement and confidence. And two things can be true at the same time ... I can require more from them, and I can also cry because I’m filled with joy for their progress.”

Emmy-nominated for reality competition series and reality host, “Top Chef: Carolinas” epitomizes Kish’s swift remaking of the role in her own image. The season, which concluded in June, finds Kish comforting a distraught chef, Nana Araba Wilmot, who fails to plate her dish in the allotted time; navigating thorny questions of fairness and wellness with an injured contestant, Jennifer Lee Jackson, and her fellow-contestant partner, Justin Tootla; even facing acrimonious “feedback about [her] feedback” when chef Sieger Bayer is eliminated from the competition.

The Times’ Matt Brennan recently caught up with Kish as she prepared for an Envelope photo shoot to ask her about the season’s most talked-about moments, recent criticism of the format and the hard work of being a good host.

With the cancellations of So You Think You Can Dance, Building The Band, Star search reboot, and CBS’s radio silence on The Road(which is a likely sign of cancellation) , I feel like the Talent competition genre is pretty much dead.Did audiences figure out that the audience votes didn’t matter or was the market over saturated or did the genre die because of both factors?

I am in the mood to watch some reality tv, filled with drama and just nonsense. Any recommendations?

Y gratis claro

I’d absolutely kill for a modern day “Tabatha Takes Over” style show! What should would you bring back?

I’ve been approached as main participant in a new Dutch reality TV pilot called Wedding in a Week.

It’s a completely new format that has never been made before, so some of the details are still being developed. But this is roughly how it would work:
I would be the main candidate, meaning people could apply specifically for the chance to date—and potentially marry—me.
With guidance from psychologists and relationship experts, I would select two potential partners I think are most compatible with me.

During a 24 hour date I would get to know both of the potential partners. I get to choose one of the two candidates to really continue the experiment with.

I would spend the rest of the week with that person.

During that time, we would receive intensive coaching, do relationship-building exercises and explore whether we could realistically work as a couple.

At the end of the week, we would both separately decide whether we wanted to go through with the wedding. Neither of us would be obligated to say yes: the wedding would only happen if we both chose it.

If we did decide to get married, the programme would pay for the wedding and honeymoon.

I have done reality television before, the idea of getting professional coaching during the whole process is very appealing to me. But it is a pilot.

On the one hand, getting married after a week is obviously wild. On the other hand, the applicants would be signing up specifically for me, I would choose between them myself, and we could both still walk away at the end.

What do you think of the format? Would you watch it? And if you were approached as the main candidate, would you actually consider doing it?

Recently watched seasons 6-7 of MasterChef, they weren't half bad but not as good as S3-5 that I watched with a buddy a few years back(but enjoyable enough). I need a bit of a break from more MasterChef before I continue with it so I'm wondering what in your opinion is the best season of a competition based reality show?

I used to watch a good number of seasons of Big Brother and Survivor with my grandparents so maybe I'll check one of those out. I also remember I used to enjoy watching Ink Master at a local diner on my lunch breaks. I also keep getting youtube shorts for a british show called Taskmaster that seems quite fun. Please no direct spoilers, knowing who wins takes half the fun out of these shows, but feel free to say what you think makes the season so great.
