random thoughts on reality/talent shows...

this is how obsessed i am... basicaly, its impossible to download the 1st season of americas best dance crew, ive only managed to download the 1st 6 performances of my 2 favourite crews, winners jabbawockeez and my fav crew kaba modern (in which yuri tag from my previous post is from)...

so yeah.. im lacking 2 performance from them... and just nice.. mtv on my virgin tv is showing the 1st season so i managed to catch one performance last week, and i knew it was goin the other performance was going to be on this week....

so this is what i did.. took a tripod, hook up my camera to it.. and recorded their performance! wooohooooo!!! yeah..i know, i need to get a life...

moving along, was watching who wants to be a millionair and i noticed the most stupid move that just about every contestant make when they want to use one of their particular lifeline... 50:50

whenever the contestant is stuck... and wants to use the 50: 50 lifeline, the host will always ask the contestant which one he/she thinks is the answer... and that option will always still be available after canceling the 2 wrong answers out! it will always be there.. so the contestant will be stuck in a pickle all over again.. and the 50: 50 lifeline doesnt help at all in the end!

i think that.. the contestants shouldnt even tell the host what he/she thinks is the answer.. then maybe the game might not be biased in their "random way of canceling out 2 wrong answers"

other thoughts... instead of of going on who wants to be a millionair to win some money, i think this is a good idea on how to earn some...

write a book.... titled

"how to win a reality show for dummies"

some may say shows life x factor, sytycd, abdc or american idol or whatever idol is more of a talent show than anything else, i personally dont think so, the winner wins it largely due to their personalities as well.. thus.. its a reality tv show..

if you disagree.. then jsut write a "how to win a reality/talent show for dummies".. just doenst sound as catchy as the previous one!

but talent shows ARE reality shows by virtue right ? as long as their talent is real and not special effects
