    Default Enough is enough! >=O

    Seriously, can reality TV stoop any lower?

    I hardly see how the reality of gamers is entertaining.
    ------------
    "Hey...Bill...pass me the cheetos dude!"
    "We're out of cheetos."
    "WHAT! HOLY DUDE! HOLY !"
    "Relax we got Doritos."
    "Coo'"
    "So wanna go out tonight?"
    "Naw."

    ------------

    Through in retrospect it'll be easy to write up the script for the shows.

    The funny thing is, the winner of this will be labeled 'Ultimate Gamer' in the US, when most good gamers who are more than likely better than those who signed up wouldn't be dumb enough to sign up for a dramafest-- they'd be too busy...y'know, playing games.

    What's with all of the stupid non-gaming challenges, too?

    To further blur the line between video games and reality for viewers who already have trouble seeing it?

    Reality TV is an oxymoron. It should not exist T_T

    It's basically the Big Brother concept with video games instead of group House challenges. You put 12 people, picked moreso for their personalities and overall reality television appeal than their gaming prowess, in a house together and force them to interact with each other for a long period of time and there will be personality clashes and arguments. People eat that stuff up, that's why reality television is so huge.

    The script on that is terribly written and the people they picked are not entertaining at all, except for maybe the Asian dude with the dumb hair. Naturally, all the girls are over emotional and crying all the time in the trailer. So that's fun too. Sci-Fi channel, quality television.

    Oh and I laughed quietly to myself upon hearing a number of their video games. Naturally they would choose the biggest ones from companies eager to send money on promotions and product placement. Good job.

    You can't be hardcore when all you play is WoW and Rock Band. To be precise, that would be the exact opposite of hardcore.

    This show fails on failing to properly understand what ultimate gaming is.

    I didn't see WoW in there at all. I think the concept is great. It proves that more people are recognizing gaming. I'll watch it when it comes on in March to see if it is any good.

    The answer to this of course is to stop making reality tv profitable and it will disappear. . .

    Seems totally lame. I doubt it'll find much of an audience and I feel bad for the people who are on it. It's like second-hand embarrassment.

    If y'all don't like reality shows, don't watch them. Me on the other hand, I love me some Top Chef and Project Runway.
