    In reply to The Decade Reality Evolved into a Beautiful Beast
    Just adding my own sidenote: obviously the British need their own category, because they've basically got this whole reality thing sealed up over there, and they freaking own it (so sayeth Snooki). Besides giving us the proto-AI with Pop Idol (and improving the format with the X-Factor), they've birthed the "...Got Talent" franchise, and also given us those ridiculous BBC3 documentaries that sometimes get shown here in America (Me and My Big Breasts, Super Botox Me, What's Eating Victoria Beckham?). Katie Price's (nee Jordan's) line of television shows, in their own right, are a gift to the human race, especially when coupled with her appearances on Graham Norton, which rank as both the most cringe-worthy and hilarious examples of a reality personality literally piercing the lexicon and worming their way into it headfirst. And unlike our meandering results of competition shows, their winners actually achieve greatness: Girls Aloud (and subsequently Cheryl Cole), Leona Lewis, Will Young all have done surprisingly well. While their formats might be dying (Big Brother just got canned), I don't think they have the diminishing returns of American reality, as evidenced by the strength of the X-Factor alongside the general weakness of American Idol. So, long live the Queen and all that horseshit.

    @ampersandparade: I should also add the British have a tendency to be somewhat self-aware with their reality programming, and not so goddamn serious about it as we are in America. For those that need evidence, please Google or YouTube Dead Set for all your zombie Big Brother horror/hilarity.

    :sigh:

    The highly underrated Bands on the Run was overlooked. You people have no soul.

    Ok, so the moral of tonight's TC Reunion Show is:

    If you want your reunion show to be a fan favorite, show us the fucking fan favorite!

    @MisterHippity: Sorry, that was more of a rant than a moral. And it contained an obscenity, too, which may be a first.

    That was not a fair outcome. Patrick and Roberto should have been cut (even though I'm sure Patrick is nice guy).

    Roberto is horrible, and Patrick is too whimpy to stand up to him.

    They're just keeping the Patrick/Roberto around for the entertainment value.

    @MisterHippity: Designers are the contestants, experts are the industry people brought in to assist them.

    And while I am Team Patrick, his 'expert' sucks balls. And not in the good way.
