I'm not a huge fan of reality shows. I think most of them stink and only a few work for me.
I like Top Chef. I love Beauty and the Geek. I'm lukewarm to Pimp My Ride. But that is about it. Every other reality show disgusts me...some more than others especially the ones based on black people. Thankfully, we've only created a few.
However, I would still want to be on a reality show some day which leads me to this blog entry tonight. I had a conversation with a female that wouldn't agree to let her boyfriend go on a reality show like "The Real World."
I would have no problem with my girl going on a show that is skill based like Top Chef but I wouldn't forbid her from going on a show like "The Real World." I would hope that our relationship would be strong enough to survive the "unknown or the unexpected" but just in case I would be prepared to lose her.
So, my question is what would your stance be if your significant other wanted to go on a reality show?

just in case you'll be prepared? you may as well break up before she goes. if you can't trust your SI to maintain your relationship, then there's no point in being together. i would be excited if the bf got on one of those shows. i wouldn't want him to become one of those people who has no other life than wack club appearances and challenges. but if those were his aspirations, i doubt we'd be together.
love top chef, project runway!!!, beauty and the geek, sometimes real world, that grambling show wasn't as bad as you may have thought it would be. of course it had its moments, but it was ok. i watched college hill to see my fave college prof at his new school.
I don't give a damn about significant others right now, so "errrr" (like the buzzer on "Family Feud").
I WILL say that the ONLY reality show I will watch is "The Apprentice". Been doing so since Season 2 and haven't looked back.
Can't wait to blog on it come January!
Have you found a place to live yet?
@jameil1922...I'm a realist. I've seen enough of these reality shows that I know that there is a potential for disaster when someone goes on there. So, I'm not going to say there is NOTHING than break up a relationship because that would be foolish, in my opinion. I know myself and I know I can resist temptation. That's a fact. However, I do not think I fully know/understand someone until we've been through a major disaster/problem/whatever. That's when I find out your true character.
I'm a huge top chef and beauty and the geek fan. I forgot to mention that Parental Control is alright too. College Hill and Flavor of Love are the worst reality shows ever made.

@solitaire...the apprentice is o.k.

@elle willa.. Yes. A temporary place. Still looking at permanent place.
If I were in a relationship and the gf wanted to do reality TV, I wouldn't be opposed to such an act.
I mean in a relationship we're supposed to help our significant other to reach the next level, so I'd be a vocal supporter.
In relationships we seek dependability, and security. We've got to be secure enough, and have faith in the ability of relationships to be maintained. And also relationships are about compromise, and even if I didn't like the idea, security and faith in the relationship, would allow me to comprimise.
after a year in a LDR, i wouldn't call it foolish. i've said this for years, and i'll continue to say it, if you can't trust the person you're with, you shouldn't be in the relationship with him or her. there's a potential for disaster in your backyard while you're in the upstairs bathroom. if it's going to happen, you can't stop it. you don't need infidelity to gauge someone's true character. there are lots of other ways.
I would let my significant other do a reality show. If I did not trust them then I would not even be with them. Iwould be more excited than anything.
