Reality TV,
It took us about 2 hours that we have been naming off reality TV shows and came up with this list of, what, nearly 50? So, I have my list and I want to see how many I’m missing. I was talking to my fiancée about when the only two reality shows were Real World and Cops and now the people on the reality shows have their own new reality show the next day.
We went on vacation during All Star break and Rock of Love 3 was on and the people we were with were making fun of us for watching but once they started watching they couldn’t turn it off either. Reality TV has lured me in like an unsuspecting human fish and I’m addicted. I think we should have serious meetings about being addicted because my TiVo is filled with Rock of Love 3, I Love Money, and America’s Best Dance Group.
My challenge to you is to name some shows other than the ones I’ve listed.
Rock of Love with Bret Michaels

“So you think you can Dance?”, clearly the BEST dance ‘reality’ show!!!
February 17th, 2009 - 12:26
First off, it’s America’s Best Dance CREW. Second, Rock of Love: The Bus is the greatest reality show since the genres conception!
February 17th, 2009 - 12:58
You’re missing Kitchen Nightmares and Next Food Network Star. Also on BBC there is Last Restaurant Standing (rivals Hell’s Kitchen as the best food reality show) If you can’t tell I’m a foodie. How Clean is Your House on the BBC is one part hilarity and one part disgust. Classic.
February 17th, 2009 - 13:09
there’s ‘Made’ and ‘True Life’ both on MTV
February 17th, 2009 - 13:47
Survivorman
Man vs. Wild
and Does ‘Pimp my Ride’ count?
February 17th, 2009 - 17:10

February 17th, 2009 - 18:41
Rehab
Operation Repo
Ocean Force
Principals Office
Party Heat
February 17th, 2009 - 23:34
About 8 years ago, the ever classy trainwreck called Love Cruise.
And lest we forget MILF Island?!?! Ok, so that was just on an episode of the Office, but the final showdown between Debra and Deborah was intense
February 18th, 2009 - 10:43
Homeland security… and MILF island was on 30 Rock, not the office. Although both those show’s are great.
February 18th, 2009 - 11:19
“Talk Sex” with Sue Johanson, “The Real Housewives of Orange County”, “House Hunters” and everything else on HGTV,Oxygen and Bravo… Not that I watch…
February 18th, 2009 - 15:17
Wow, I always wondered how players who average 10 minutes per game spend their time. Now I know!! I hear Michael Ruffin is going to be your new teammate, and he only averages about 4 minutes a game. When the 2 of you put your heads together, I can’t wait to see what kind of lists are coming up in the future!
February 18th, 2009 - 16:08
-Superstar USA
-17 Kids & Counting
-Cribs
-Vacation Home Search, etc.
-What Not to Wear
-Anthony Bourdain No Reservations

How bout Super Nanny? or Nanny 911?
Super Nanny and Extreme Makeover are probably my favorites.
Comcast sports net should do a reality show on the blazers.
Call it like
“82: The Road to Playoffs”
Or simply “82″
that’d be sweet.
We’d just have like five or six cameras floating around amongst the players and staff, and we’d get to see the journey between every game. Just how the players prepare mentally, how they felt about their last game, how they feel about their next game. And obviously each episode would be played AFTER games, so teams couldn’t just watch the episode right before the game and try to hone in on fears and worries.
Hahaha
I know my TiVo would be chock full of “82″.
PS does Punk’d count?
February 19th, 2009 - 00:31
How could you possibly be missing Bad Girls Club?? It’s the best train wreck show (next to Dirty Old Man Dates Troubled Girls, also known as Rock of Love)
February 19th, 2009 - 12:51
Amazing Race and America’s Best Dance Crew are at the top of my very short list. Other entertaining shows are Canadian made — Mantracker where 2 contestants make a run for an extraction site in the canadian outback chased by the Mantracker, and Family Restaurant: The Quocs chronicling a family-run chinese food restaurant in midwest Canada.
February 19th, 2009 - 16:39
How can you leave off “Joe Millionaire”? Also, a personal fave: “Amish in the City.”

What? No one mentioned “Chains of Love?” I can’t believe it! Did anyone ever see this ridiculous show where there were like four guys trying to win a one-on-one date with some girl, but through the whole show they were all chained together with this huge, heavy chain? Every once in awhile this big, scary guy in a black leather jacket and sunglasses would show up and ask the main guy/girl who they wanted to be unlocked from the chain. The most crazy part was when they’d get down to two people and they would have these more intimate dates (e.g. champagne in the hot tub), but they’d still have the other person chained to them. They’d always show them looking really pathetic at the end of this really long chain that reached to the next room. Classic REALITY TV!
Oh, and we can’t forget “My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance.”

The Pick up artist
February 20th, 2009 - 12:07
I loved The Benchwarmers, starring Channing Frye and Michael Ruffin
February 20th, 2009 - 13:57
Channing,
Although you can write the blog from anywhere, I’m very glad you’re continuing on with the Blazers this year. Please keep up the good all round communications/community work. Good spirit is, in a deep sense worth much more than most people think.
February 21st, 2009 - 01:11
I feel embarrassed for knowing these but Brooke Knows Best and Trading Spouses are missing.
February 21st, 2009 - 02:05
Lucas: Shut up. If you want to be negative take it somewhere else, the rest of us are just having a little fun.
February 21st, 2009 - 09:42
Mr. Frye – I don’t give a damn about TV, just really glad you did not get traded. You are my favorite Blazer
You found Pok Pok! Right on!
February 21st, 2009 - 13:03
Channing – just wanted to say how happy I am that you are still a Blazer – the trade deadline had me worried. Enjoy it man!
February 21st, 2009 - 20:01
Baldwin hills, the ghetto version of laguna beach, and harlem heights, both on BET. also that parent/child sex show with DR. Drew.
February 22nd, 2009 - 00:10
to repeat what a couple other people said, I’m juiced you didn’t get traded too. You really are my favorite blazer.
Hoping you get some playing time.
February 22nd, 2009 - 00:10
Groomer has it.
February 22nd, 2009 - 01:48
hahah
hey channing!
i don’t know if you’ve ever seen this but thought you’d be interested?
February 22nd, 2009 - 12:31
Channing-
You’re the man. I’m so glad you’re still here. You’re the kind of guy I would start a team around, but fortunately you’re already on mine.
I can’t really think of any other shows right now, but I’m curious– are you a big fan of the Amazing Race? I thought it was cool the last season ended in Portland, and that seems like a legit reality show cause you get all sorts of history with it.
Lucas– Now would be the time to find a room and go have intercourse with yourself. That is so not cool, man.
February 22nd, 2009 - 21:49
CFrye, we are all happy in our house! So glad you were not traded. We’re watching every Blazer Game. Your the kind of player that this TOWN LOVES!!! We love to see you play. Lucas- stay off these boards, this is where the CFRYE FANS live! Get a Life….
February 23rd, 2009 - 11:10
Wow, a little criticism of the local hero, and the citizens of Vasonline Alley come out swinging!
February 23rd, 2009 - 17:54
wtf? i have no idea what half of these are? maybe it is because i don’t spend my time watching tv. i spend my spare time with brett michaels.
February 23rd, 2009 - 19:49
Oh man! My favorite reality show is “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. It’s a drag queen reality show on LOGO. It’s amazing.
February 23rd, 2009 - 22:19
Kitchen Nightmares….I WIN
February 24th, 2009 - 14:29
Kira – LOVE that show!! Great add.
February 26th, 2009 - 01:00
good game tonight channing. Love to see you play well and make some key contributions. Keep up the work hope to see you get more rotation minutes
February 26th, 2009 - 09:37
Speaking of Reality Stars, I think you were the reality star of the game last night. The Texas road trip is always a tough one, but high scorer? Wicked.
February 27th, 2009 - 15:10
Pros vs. Joes – I’m not sure if that’s still on
February 27th, 2009 - 15:16
Are you looking for non-reality shows?
My lady loves her some Law and Order, all three varieties.

Living with Ed is hilarious!
You’re also missing Toddlers & Tiaras. Very creepy show and the parents should be turned in for child abuse or something. It’s just wrong.
I’m glad you stayed with us too, Channing! You’re my favorite Blazer
March 3rd, 2009 - 22:42
How about the Haney report, a new reality show on the Golf Channel teaching Charles Barkley how to swing the clubs correctly. Hey, if this guy can get Charles to swing like a normal person, he will be the best swing coach ever.
How is your swing? Do you get out and play golf in your home state of Arizona during the off season?

Was I the only one that watched “the littlest bachelor”? The big “twist” was when the producers brought out “average” sized females.
March 10th, 2009 - 10:36
How about “Project Greenlight” which ran on HBO for a couple of seasons? I think it was produced by Ben Affleck and they basically gave up and coming movie directors a chance to film their project, after a tough screening process where they picked the best scripts. Was fun to watch.
Black & White was a short lived reality show produced by Ice Cube. He had 2 families (one black, one white) and each family had make up artists come in and basically switch their races for a short period of time. (the black family was made up to look white, the white family was made up to look black) Interesting to watch and see all the different reactions from the participants and from the people they interacted with. (available on Netflix if you want to check it out)
