I'd try to go for the Amazing Race. Some of the challenges they do look like a blast, plus you don't need to worry about "alliances". Big Brother is ok, but there's just too much paranoia and backstabbing.
An agent I work with, was on with her husband ...the 3rd? season. They were kicked off the 3rd or 4th round and spent the rest of the time at some resort in the Caribbean. She said it was a blast doing the show, but the 3 weeks spent at the resort was even better.
The show is all done in about 40 days. She said the hardest part was after they got home and not able to tell anyone what they had done, when they were kicked off, and who won.
I watch Dancing with the Stars, Food Channel, HGTV and DIY...not sure if those count as reality shows. I do occasionally watch Platinum Weddings on WE.....it facinates me how much money these people spend on a
wedding!!! Watched one a couple of weeks ago, the father shelled out
$1.35 MILLION for his daughter's wedding! Bride and groom's parents were both Pakistani, and the kids were born in the US...they all lived in CA.
