Response to Jonathan Tomachicks question

Do you think Television Stations may go too far in the future in regards to the viewer-voting competition shows, similar to "Survivor", "Big Brother", and the new ones to come?

I think that TV stations have already gone too far with these competition shows such as survivor and big brother because they arent as popular as they once were.  It is hard for us to truly think that these people are really "surviving" the harsh conditions of an island with dozens of cameras all around at almost every angle. For me I think that these shows are more of a nice vacation for people as they get to go to beauitufl islands and "face the wild".It was only the first couple of seasons that were really popular for survivor and it has been struggling for viewers ever since. I think our generation is more likely to watch the viewer-voting competition shows for music such as American Idol, or The Voice which has become really popular in the last year. Just like when survivor became popular, shows like American Idol or The Voice will become more mainstreem.

Why do you think Americans cling to shows that are competition related?
