Shark Tank/Dragon's Den (Canadian Version) is easily the best reality show right now. I also like watching Pawn Stars whenever it's on 
I'd rather watch the Bachelor or the Biggest Loser than any on that list you provided.

Do panel shows count? Or proper game shows? (I don't get Gameshow Network anymore though, so I don't really watch them anymore, anyways). I dislike the ones listed as well as most others since they just don't interest me. [The zombie parody of Big Brother, Dead Set, is pretty awesome though.]
If panel shows count then I must say that Would I Lie to You is a great one. David Mitchell, Lee Mack, and Rob Brydon make it for me. I still wish the US still had panel shows like it used to. (Or good celebrities like it used to.)
I was about to point out that the UK version of Dragons' Den was the first to call itself by the name but it really doesn't matter. Apparently it was originally made in Japan as Mane no Tora back as early as 2001. It sure has spread, though.

If jeopardy counts, then jeopardy.
im against a lot of other types of reality shows because they try to add drama to make it more interesting, and we shouldnt be messsing around with peoples lives, nor should we want them to makke stupid decisions just to be famous
You came back :) |

I find most reality shows rather disgusting; when people are pitted against each other, there's far too much judgment and hatred floating around. They show the worst of human nature. I'd much prefer something lighthearted, like Wipeout. There's still competition, but no hard feelings. And it's fun watching people fall.

Why on earth would you willingly watch The Bachelor?
I have to say I watch a lot of shows about real estate and food, so they're probably my favorite. Anyway, Jersey Shore is hitting my area for basically a sequel, and oh boy.

Watching 30 desperate girls (90% of whom are hot) competing for the affections of one guy? How is that not awesome?
Also, does Maury count? Nothing makes me happier than to see the lives of irresponsible people exploited for my own entertainment.

Maury is a gem. How about Dr. Phil?

I don't like any of the following-people-around-with-cameras genre. I like some reality competitions alright, though. I enjoy watching Project Runway. Sometimes I skip the middle part with the fabricated drama and go straight from them getting the instructions for the task to the final products and the judging. I like seeing what creative things they come up with. Like they make clothes out of just things purchased in a candy shop or a hardware store. And they look like real clothes. That's pretty neat.

You are a man of fine taste. QI is another great one.

QI and Would I Lie To You are amazing  much rather watch those sorts of programmes than Big Brother and the like. I hate the way people are manipulated during these sorts of shows (i cant speak for the other two programmes mentioned since ive never seen them). I think the closest i get to watching reality tv is watching gok wans programmes, because he treats people with respect and shows everyone is beautiful, giving people confidence in themselves (i dont think hes known outside the uk however)
