What Reality TV Shows are Still Tops?

By


It’s undeniable that reality TV shows continue to get the attention of millions of people around the world. The thrill and excitement provided by these programs are different from the regular drama and comedy soaps that viewers are used to watching on the small screen.

Since this type of TV program gained popularity from 1999 to 2000, more reality shows have been produced. These include singing and dancing competitions, personal and home makeovers as well as staying in a house with other people for several months. What sets this type of show from the others is the absence of a script that people need to follow.

Reality Singing Shows Give Hope to Aspiring Singers

By

Many people have a passion for singing and it’s no surprise why the number of participants in reality singing competitions in the U.S. today continue to rise. Teens and those in their 20s across the U.S. are given hope to pursue their dream of becoming a popular singer not only in their home country but even internationally.

So, what are the top reality singing contests today? The latest buzz says these are the American Idol, America’s Got Talent, The Sing-Off, The Glee Project and The X Factor.

American Idol, however, seems to be the most famous these days. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, this show premiered in 2002 with three judges and had Kelly Clarkson as its first big winner. The show is now on its 11th season with the Top 7 finalists competing for the number one spot.

Tara Reid was once America’s sweet heart, from when she starred in American Pie a decade ago. The film was a huge success and various sequels have been made since the original, turning the film into an extremely successful worldwide franchise.

As with many actors and actresses, her career started in commercials where she starred in over 100, for McDonalds, Crayola and sunglasses for kids. There has also been starring roles in films such as Van Wilder, alongside Ryan Reynolds and with Ashton Kutcher in My Boss’s Daughter. [Read more…]

DWTS Coming Down to Four

By

After the great performances in “Dancing with the Stars” last night elimination night will surely be interesting. The scores are pretty close with Niecy Nash trailing behind Pamela and Erin only by two points.

  • Niecy Nash and Louis Van Amstel- 49
  • Pamela Anderson and Damian Whitewood- 51
  • Erin Andrews and Maksim Abcrunchowsky – 51
  • Chad Ochochinco and Cheryl Burke – 52
  • Evan Lysacek and Anna T- 54
  • Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough – 54

With such close scores who knows who’ll be going home? The fan votes will definitely carry even more weight tonight and no pair will be safe, not even power couples Nicole and Derek and Evan and Anna. I do hope though that Evan and Anna will not be going home tonight. That will just be plain wrong after they got perfect 10 from all three judges for their Argentine tango!

However the eliminations will go though we can be sure that performances from this week forward will get even better with the stars shaping up to be like pros more each day. As for me I’m betting that Evan and Anna will go home with the trophy this season. You just do go toe on toe with a figure skating champ and not expect him to win a dance competition. But I might be wrong, people after all root tend to root for the “underdogs” (case in point: Kate Gosselin). As for the other pairs all I can be sure about is that at least for Erin and Maksim they’ll be bringing home something if not the trophy (Just watch TMZ!) while the rest will still have memories and fat paychecks.

Kate Gosselin the TV Star

By

Kate GosselinKate Gosselin may be have finally been booted off Dancing With the Stars last Tuesday but it sure isn’t the last time we’ll be seeing her on TV. Not including all the tabloids and Jon-Kate “entertainment updates”, Kate will be getting a lot of TV face time with her upcoming TLC show “Twist of Kate”. It is also reported that she’ll also be continuing the show “Jon an Kate Plus 8” with the kids, of course this time sans Jon.

DWTS

Kate’s stint with DWTS sure was painful to watch but it just shows how bankable it is to do a reality show with her since she managed to stay on for weeks just by the sheer volume of votes from her fans. It just goes to show how much people can relate to the confusion and hardships that goes with motherhood, having a egotistic ex-husband, and maybe even finding yourself mess up but still wanting to go on for your kids and yourself. Even I was touched by Kate’s thank you. Anyway, I guess I can now watch DWTS without having to cringe so much. For DWTS though it might mean a significant drop in viewers with Kate gone.

Twist of Kate

In Twist of Kate, TLC will bring Kate to different states to meet different families with different issues. We can expect the show to take off what with the drama that Kate always brings wherever she goes, plus this time it might actually be educational for her to see just how hard it is for other more normal families to struggle through life without a reality show to pay for the bills. I hope Kate the best in this series and hope it will make enough for her that she’ll opt not to go ahead with Kate plus 8. I’m all for her working and appearing on TV but maybe it is time for the kids to get less exposure. But who am I to say, maybe they really do miss the TLC’s crew since they know no other life?
