- Survivor - I started watching right around the time of the merger in season 1 and have been addicted ever since.
- Intervention - I love this show!!
- Fear Factor - Started watching when it first came out; don't watch as much as I used to though.
- American Idol - I have correctly chosen the winner ALL FOUR TIMES, wayyyy back at the point where like, 120 people were still in the competition. I think Randy Jackson should hire me.
- The Simple Life - This is my guilty pleasure. I know everyone is sick to death of Paris Hilton, and most of that show is probably fake; people goading them into pulling stunts and stuff to make it interesting, but DAMN, it's funny!
- Hell's Kitchen - YES, CHEF! I really wanted Jessica to win, but at least that cocky Ralph didn't win.
- The Cut - Started watching because I couldn't find anything else, got sucked in, and have now picked out who I want to win... and I'm sorry, but Tommy just looks weird in a suit & tie. I can't put my finger on it.
- Airline - I'm not sure of this show's regular timeslot, but I run across it now and then and it's pretty entertaining.
- Joe Millionaire - This is the only couples-matching one I ever watched.
- Boot Camp - It was fun watching them endure whatever got thrown at 'em, what can I say?
- Celebrity Boot Camp - This was kinda fun. Bud Bundy, Coolio, Tiffany, Steven Baldwin, and other assorted whatever-happened-to's participated. I think Coolio won, no?
- Real World (the EARLY years!) - Seasons I believe I saw in their entirety: NYC, Boston, Seattle, London, Hawaii, New Orleans
- Road Rules - I think I might have watched the first two seasons.
- I've also seen some of...
- The Surreal Life (bits & pieces of each season)
- Real World/Road Rules Challenge (the one where Amaya jumped out of the plane & hurt herself)
- Trading Spouses (I've seen several episodes, but I don't normally watch it.)
- Celebrity Fit 2 (I CAN'T get over Jani Lane! Boy, did he go south!!)
- The Swan (this was like a car accident sometimes - I watched out of morbid curiosity)
- Temptation Island - season 1 (I can't believe I watched this. Even more, I can't believe people wanted to be involved in such a thing.)
- Forever Eden (it aired about 5 times and then was cancelled. People supposedly gave up their whole lives to live in some paradise, until they got voted off.)
- Fire Me, Please! - I think this was canceled. It was a mercy killing. I only watched because nothing else was on.
I have a feeling I might be missing some, and with all the Reality TV out there, I probably am forgetting something, but I'll be sure to add it if I recall anything later on.
