Non-Fiction Story Telling is what Mark Burnett calls Reality TV and I love it. I first became a fan of Reality TV over 40 years ago as I would sit night after night watching the series The American Family on PBS. I could not get enough of watching the Loud family's life unfold before me.
My next big Reality TV obsession came when Survivor debuted in 2000 and have been a loyal fan for 28 seasons. Along the way I have become a fan of many other Realty TV shows. The Amazing Race, The Bachelor, Big Brother. Sick and sad you might say but to me it's just plain enjoyable.

Although I do love a good reality TV experience I have to say I am picky about the reality I watch. I have never viewed one single Kardashian anything. Honey Boo Boo will never be on my list and not a fan of The Housewives of wherever. I seem to stick with the competitive side of reality TV like Top Chef , Project Runway or the Voice. I used to love American Idol but it has lost it's luster and I have kind of broken up with my TV boyfriend Ryan Seacrest. He hosted the Million Second Quiz debacle last year which took me at least 3 shows to figure out what it was all about and by that time I was done and stopped watching.

So what I have learned is that even though people roll there eyes when I tell them that I love Reality TV I will continue to watch, seek and enjoy many new non-reality, reality shows to come.

I watch some reality TV, too. Some of my favorites - Project Runway, Top Chef, Survivor, The Amazing Race. The only one I would ever consider going on would be The Amazing Race, but I know that my husband and I would be the team that never even makes it out of the parking lot. :)
