Reality shows I am currently not happy with: Project Runway, SYTYCD, Top Chef.
PR better step it up, since I think the other two are beyond redemption at this point.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I was really disappointed with the premiere of Project Runway. To make such a big deal about the possibility of sending multiple people home and then only sending one was just stupid, and I thought there were better candidates to be sent home than the girl who went.

I concur with Megan's list. Which means of course that I'm not particularly happy with any reality tv show I'm watching right now.

Work of Art has been a pleasant surprise. I'm hoping MasterChef will be good. I think that's it for me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I`m completely over SYTYCD at this point, which is a real shame, because of the potential at the beginning. And also because there is not enough Mark in it. There`s nothing left interesting to me. The teenyboppers can vote, because I no longer care and the judges voices are irrelevant.

I think what appealed about these shows to me in the early seasons (that the contestants were learning and I was learning) has gradually faded away as the contestants have gotten that much better.

I didn't expect to like it, but I did. I am, however, liking the Miles show less and less. I also don't like the way that they are asking the other contestants to weigh in on the work of the others. Maybe just because Miles is always the one to offer his (negative) opinion.

Agreed, Vortex. I didn't get why the question was asked at all.
