So, it's a reality show then. I get my reality show fix with Judge Judy

I like reality TV shows. Also what's Judge Judy, is it a law show or something?

Well, it's arbitration, so they resolve civil suits outside of the court system.

Never heard of it but I know I already hate it. In fact now I'm mad I know something like this exists and that space in my brain could have been filled with more useful info.

I think its a pretty good show.

No reality show is a good show. It's contrived trash with false drama. Nothing reality about them. It's the most mindless drivel and mind knumbing thing there is in entertainment. It physically hurts.

If I'm entertained, that's what matters. I get entertained by Judge Judy and Kitchen Nightmares.



It's not reality. It's manipulated bullshit. And if you get off on this, it just show what sort of gutter you've risen from.

UK Kitchen Nightmares is fine. None of the BS yelling. US Reality shows are just travesties. Court shows like Judget Judy or People's Court while to some degree bring on some not so bright people for fun it's at least still a real court case being settled. I don't consider them in the same area as 'reality' shows in the US.

That's interesting. Wonde how they handle cases where someone will owe someone else money since its not done in a court system.

The dances are actually quite good and the dancers are really talented. The drama is mostly moms getting jealous their daughter doesn't get as much attention oy solo dance as other dancers get and idk that seems pretty real to me.

The show pays the money.

That's the whole point.  I know a couple who was on Wife Swap, and strings were pulled just to get stuff started.  In fact, the director on the husband's end was replaced because Tim (my friend) was too smart and adamant to not get jerked around by the production crew.  Also, the swapped wife (don't know her name) was sorry for the antics she had pulled because  Tim's a good guy.  And they both knew that it was the production crew who were baiting the traps.



My Brother works on Survivor & Big Brother. He likes the extra pay and his daughter getting a producer credit on the show but he will tell you it's manufactured drama. The people they cast they cast as an archetype. As mentioned the people and show and everything about them is manipulated. It's only every so slightly more real than WWE's on air drama. I never needed my brother to tell me that. It's just not hard to figure out when they all started to look suspiciously the same in tropes.

So I do not get it, did old Dance teacher give this new lady permission to take over while she was away in Rich person jail? Or are these moms who we have grown to really truly loathe, decided to take the show to a different studio?

Same studio and same staff but a new teacher.
