Danger Decoded total BS

With terrible non-professional footage you get to watch an accident about to happen. You are then asked to look for keys telling what will happen. The problem is the keys you can't possibly see are the same for all three options they give you .... so the whole "mystery:" is just a joke. The only slight value to this BS program is you get to see the "catastrophe" if you like that kind of thing.



Before each catastrophe plays out, viewers are challenged to predict what is about to go terribly wrong. 

Will the parachute fail to open? Or will two skydivers collide in mid-air? Or perhaps it is the small aircraft; will the plane crash before the skydivers even jump?

Another NatGeo bomb of a Reality Show ...... Terrible

Unreal Reality Show - Shipping Wars

The stars, if you can call them that, of this program are either unprofessional or rude or both. They are constantly mis-communicating with clients, taking things that don't fit, that aren't ready, expected to do the loading, too delicate and excepting ridiculous penalties. All that while being criticized by Marc or Roy. 

I guess I can believe most of that .... but what I can't believe is how the same 4-5 people are always competing for trips all over the US from Seattle to Florida. I mean you don't bid on stuff if it's 4-5 days away for reasons of economy and time limits. They all drive gas/diesel guzzlers and could end up anywhere is the US. Just not believable. 

Mister Negative Marc

Know it all - hyper Roy 
Roy died of a heart attack last year

Then they get serious with this - gotta shake your head

Did Jennifer from Shipping Wars have a boob job? What is Jennifer Brennan's bra size?. Join us as we get the scoop on the newest season of the A&E show "Shipping Wars" with Star Jennifer Brennan.

Crazy for Cupcakes

DC Cupcakes


I wasn't sure of the name of this program and "reality TV" and cupcakes came up with more than one show. Now these two woman have a real business unlike "Cupcake Wars" that was created as a Reality Show. Sad to say Cupcake Wars is just a product of a producer trying to fill the TV hours with competitive nonsense.

DC Cupcakes is about two women and some help running a real business without all the false hype of competition. My problem with the whole concept is this is not about making good cupcakes, it's about displays of hundreds of them glued into some display that supposedly makes a statement. I guess just making a good cupcake would not be much of a show but displays of hundreds of them kinda lacks meaning in my opinion.

Dual Survival My Ass

Gee ... look what somebody left us


Why in the hell would someone be dropped off in a God Awful location with little or nothing in the way of survival tools unless you were making a stupid survival movie. Then to add nonsense to insanity they find a bunch of gear that just happened left by unknown others. What they find is a gun with one round, a hatchet, a tarp, duct tape and who knows what else. Then they come across a tin lean-too shelter with stove full of hot embers for a fire starter. I mean how lucky could two guys be unless they are doing a survival reality show. This is about as silly as another character in this series, Cody with braids, Indian clothes and always barefoot. At least the scenery is nice and these guys aren't competing with each other.

Fake Magic Shows

Television or filmed Magic is BS

Dynamo

Dynamo is only one among many that are basically unbelievable. Not only because some of the things they do are impossible .... but using a camera to create illusions is cheating. Camera position, lighting, timing, recording and editing .... all just make it way too easy to create an illusion of whatever. I mean like walking on water. Lighting, time of day, reflections and camera make an impossible feat possible.

While I agree with this - film makes it way too simple to create an illusion.
As we have shown many times on our site, Dynamo's magic falls into the second category – he performs tricks. So if you think magicians who perform magic are 'fake', then you can consider Dynamo to be fake. For example, Dynamo doesn't really walk on water, he just performs a very believable illusion of walking on water, as we have explained here. He also doesn't really fly, as we explained here. If you consider him to be 'fake' because of that, that is your choice, but many people think that magicians can't be fake since it is obvious that they are doing tricks and we all know it. There are only good and bad magicians – those who can't fool us and those who can.


More garbage reality show programming

Naked Survival - Stupid Show

Naked and Afraid - TV Reality Show


Stupid name, stupid idea and just another filler for the starved for material channels like Discovery, NatGeo and A&E. I didn't realize their adventures were for 21 days which is a challenge but the few I've seen they just fight getting sunburned, struggle to light a fire and eat worms or something similar.There must be a dozen survival shows and they're all just as bad. Give me a cooking show any day .... what ever happened to The Naked Chef.

Producer of Discovery show Naked and Afraid claims it is not 'exploitative' to film contestants nude but that it creates a 'pure survival experience' ....... no, it's just plain stupid

Dr Oz Spammer scammer

I got this in my Email today and realize it's not a Reality Show in the real sense but reading about his baseless or wrong advise he is giving people ... it seems it's an Anti Reality Show and a Spammer. I guess people just don't read the news or investigate things that appeal.  The show is still popular.

 Burn FAT Quicker Without DIET or EXERCISE








But is that trust misplaced? Or has Oz, who often peddles miracle cures for weight loss and other maladies, mortgaged medical veracity for entertainment value?

These questions have hammered Oz for months. In June, he was hauled in front of Congress, where Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) told him he gave people false hope and criticized his segments as a “recipe for disaster.” Then last month, a study he widely trumpeted lauding coffee bean weight-loss pills was retracted despite Oz’s assertions it could “burn fat fast for anyone who wants to lose weight.”

Half of Dr. Oz’s medical advice is baseless or wrong, study says

David Rees

Going Deep with David Rees


Going Deep or Do it Right (SKY Mexico) is a new "how to" Reality Show with the Sophomoric Humorist, David Rees. Thing that amazes me is most of the reviews of the show and him are fairly positive. I on the other hand have trouble with 15 minutes of "How to tie your shoe" while David makes corny wise cracks and makes faces.

To me it's just another case of the TV industry desperately looking for material to fill the airwaves. NatGeo in this case. From the number of people who seem to enjoy sophomoric humor while learning how to tie ones shoes, I am in the minority.

I just wanted an outlet when I get that gag reflex going on some of these absolutely terrible reality shows. So here they come as I gag.

I actually like a few so may mention them from time to time
