What's one step further than "out of hand"? Because last year, I said that reality TV was getting out of hand. And now, thanks to FOX, it's gone way past that.
Exhibit A:
The Will. Old bastard has a lot of money and relatives, and they compete to get all his shit when he dies. Nice. Nothing like objectifiying your elders, yanno?
Exhibit B:
Who's Your Daddy? Adopted daughter gets $100k if she can figure out who her biological father is. Think of it as a reverse Maury Povich show.
What's next? I mean, can it get any worse? Sure it can. Hell, I'll help. I think we should all help. Here, I'll start:
Proposed RTV show #1: The Disease. Throw 12 swingers in a house, but one of them has gonorrhea. The last one to catch the disease, wins.
Proposed RTV show #2: The Virgin. Throw 12 virgin dudes into a house with a pornstar (or just someone that's attractive and willing to fuck just about anybody). Load 'em up on Viagra. Last one to masturbate or fuck the pornstar, wins. Once they make a horny pill for girls (comparable to Viagra), there can be a female "Virgin" show, too.
There's more out there. I'm sure I could come up with some more... but I need some inspiration first. When's the next
Springer on?

Truthfully there is only one reality tv show I watch faithfully and that is the Apprentice, I hate all the others. Gag me.

You know, I think there actually is a show very much like The Virgin. I've heard it's either on TV now or soon to premier in England.

Reality TV is so far from actual reality it's ridiculous!

I believe one step past "out of hand" is "spiraling out of control." But you can check me on that one...

Those are great proposals...I think FOX should get ahold of you ASAP.

You must not have playboy TV. They have a show called 7 lives exposed.
Adult star Devinn Land picks six roommates to live with in a house in front of hundreds of hidden cameras.
I've seen 2 seasons of this. Let's just say it's the only reality TV that I have gotten interested in

And this coming from the guy who gives endless analysis on every lame contestant on American Idol. Go figure.
