I KNOW there are people on my f-list who watch reality shows. Can't fool me, I know you are out there.

So I ask you, what shows do you like? Which ones do you hate? Which shows do you love to hate?

And Why?

Let's call it research.

(And it just occurs to me now - are there communities devoted to such things?)

Oh, I've also been enjoying Top Chef, which is a cooking contest modeled after Project Runway, a fashion design contest, which I've also enjoyed a lot.

Oh, yeah, I forgot. I have also watched and enjoyed Cooking Under Fire, an elimination competition for chefs that they run on PBS. They travel around the country cooking in different restaurant kitchens and attempting different types of assignments (team/individual, specific cuisines, specific ingredients, specific timeslines, etc.). Losers get eliminated by the judges, and the end winner gets a chef job in a top restaurant. It's hosted by PBS show cooks, including Ming of Simply Ming.
