Hi,

I didn't know where to ask this, but I want to hear what others think of the popular tv show Fear Factor, and other reality shows like it? It is not something I have time for, and I wonder if something like that can be healthy, or worse?

My wife gets a big kick out of it for some reason I can't quite fathom. The eating bugs, worms, etc., is really gross to me. I do like watching the physical challenges they do, but it seems a bit weak for them to have people climb a building with a tether attached to them in case they fall. Kind of takes the fear factor out of the equation for me.

Hi Jo-anne,

Well, I certainly don't think its healthy. It's one thing to compete against each other in creative events. fine. cool even. But when you force someone to turn blue under water and film them when they come up shaking, crying, and struggling for breath... a line has been crossed. I hate the pervasive shame. I hate the way they up the ante for ratings in what they force people to eat/do. (seriously once I saw them lay in cow blood, once in sewage...what the...) sick sick sick

Now the bachelor, THAT's real TV!

love

PS. Actually, I do have a favorite reality show Jo-anne. It's the one where they tear down a family home and build them a new one!! I cry every time I watch it. awww
