I enjoy the reality shows, I consider them separate from mainstream "reality" tv.. For instance, "Survivorman" (Les Stroud) truly is completely on his own.. He's got a Spot communicator, but that's it. He even runs his own camera..
As an "avid outdoorsman", surely you can appreciate that particular show for what it is?
Yeesh, over the top much? The mans dead, for crying out loud.. Where's your sense of decency, JD?
