They might call them reality TV but really they are game shows. When was the last time that a person in real life had to battle it out with 14 people in a kitchen stadium. I can not remember any boss I have ever had telling me that there was an immunity idol somewhere in the office and if I find it I would not be up for eviction.
Maybe they don't call them game shows anymore because that denotes the fact that there is a winner and a whole lot of losers at the end of the series. Have we gone too PC is this become a society where you can not call someone a looser. I caught the masterchef runner-up Callum Hann saying that they all felt like winners. Well I am sorry Callum but the judges voted and Adam Liaw is the winner. This is something that you are going to have to come to terms with.
This is why I like shows like "Wipe out". They are unashamedly Game show. One person wins and a lot of people end up in the water. It is all over in 1 hour and I can get on with my life. I do not have to spend three months every night glued to the TV watching and waiting to see which person will burn the arse out the scones and have to leave the masterchef kitchen.
