Germany copies many shows from the US and UK.

And as a teenager with my very uneducated family we watched a lot of American idiol just the German edition. Recently someone won the competition that was in the finale of 2010. I think 2010 was the last time I watched this garbage. People in school mocked me for watching such garbage. I was even fan of this guy called Menowin Fröhlich. Someone who abused drugs and was a lowkey criminal. And back then I really liked him. I think two years later I changed completely. My life and personality changed. I started studying very hard and I quit all this nonsense garbage. My stance on life changed fundamentally. I lost 35 kilogram of weight within one year. A mixed manic-depressive episode started.

I am so glad I don't waste my time anymore to watch that shit. But I get the allure. A very interesting PhD student at my former self-help group once explained she really enjoys watching love reality shows with her boyfriend.

Personally, I read the most powerful newpaper in Germany. The Bild Zeitung a yellow press outlet. This is why I sort of know some formats. I think I shouldn't lose the grip to what my fellow Germans are consuming.

I know there is Naked Attraction. A dating show where they date completely naked and they show everything. When this interesting ADHD/autistic woman started to talk about sex at our date I brought up this TV show. I think there is also love island.

I am not sure what the original name of the show but there is a TV show where they swap their wives. I wonder how many sex jokes were cracked in this TV show. There is also a show America's Got Talent. I think I would go to this show and tell them everything I know about suicide and suicide methods and even show them my in-depth knowledge by committing seppuku in front of a camera. Alternatively okay I won't crack this joke but I think they even showed someone who played theater with his balls and cock or shit like that. But it was on a different TV show.

The true answer is: all of this is a waste of time. I think I also woulnd't be good in a survivial show. Or a game show. Except the questions were about politics. There is also something like Big Brother. I would hate the concept that people gawk at me. On the other hand on SaSu I don't care about that. But on here there is anonymity. I would feel very uncomfortable on such a format because I am such a wreck when it comes to duties.

Reality shows aren't reality. I mean... on the one hand they are, because it does show real people doing really stupid shit... BUT they "perform" differently when a prize is involved and they know they are on TV with other people watching them... so people in a real-life situation behave differently when they are being filmed for broadcast than they otherwise would.

I've avoided most reality TV like the plague. Most of it is pure junk. So, I wouldn't at all want to participate in any of it. No matter the prize offered or my likelihood of winning said prize. I want no part of watching or participating in reality TV.
