In Brazil, we have a lot of stupid shows...We watch some of the shows you all said earlier, like American Idol, and we have our own edition of Big Brother (BB sucks, but as long as there's punching and kicking, it'll be alright...sorry, I'm needing a good Jackie Chan movie). I've heard of this Survivor (and I actually believe it's in one of the Brazilian channels) but I've never watched it myself.
Oh, and we have "Casa dos Artistas", and that one is BAD. They reunite singers, actors, and all sort of "artists" (if you dare to call them "artists") and put them in a house, and all we see is talk. I don't remember sseing any punchin' or kickin' in it, but...Lucky me: I never heard of it again. Yay!
