I know a girl who tried to pitch her family and they’re fairly normal so god knows what kind of made up shite they would have come up with.


if my family had a reality show, it would be a lot of me looking at the camera like Jim.

my wife likes these shows, but i've never cared much for them.

i view the hgtv families as a bit reality (hometown, fixer upper, etc.) most seem to manage it well.

outdaughtered couple is still together.

duck dynasty is the only other one i can think of, but they pretty much admitted it was a cash grab and they could walk away at any time. i respect that.

Todd and Julie are currently in prison so this one should probably be included.


I was channel surfing last week and came across this stupid shite. I could only force myself to watch for like 5 minutes. Couldn't believe they were on season 8. It's an amazingly bad show.

I think there was a thread on here about their tax evasion or whatever charges sent them to prison.

A friend worked on that stupid Honey Boo Boo show a while back. Per her the wife was actually very smart. She played along and made enough money for college degrees and to pull themselves up. And then she made up some stupid shite to get the show cancelled so that they could get their lives back.

Pretty sure the mom from Honey Boo Boo became a crackhead shortly after the show and the show got cancelled because she got back to together with one of her baby daddies who had just got out of jail for child molestation and even TLC said that's too much.

Stepfather became a woman, Pretty sure he and wife divorced, Kim divorced and jumps from one guy to the next, Chloe divorced. Don’t know any of the other kids names, but I’m sure they are all living very normal lives. LOL.

Off topic, but I wonder how many couples break up after the show Alone. Your partner leaves you for a couple of months. There is probably a good bit cheating that happens


Why would you assume there was cheating? Most happily married couples wouldn't cheat. You're either a jerk, unhappily married, or not married at all.

First show that came to mind. By wrasslin' industry standards, Hulk and Linda had been together forever, and the kids appeared fairly normal. Everything went to hell in a handbasket after the first season.

Same with Gene Simmons Family Jewels. That shite got heavy when it was reported that Gene cheated on Shannon. I remember their kids not wanting to be on camera anymore. It was gross to watch.

. Plenty of the contestants aren't married. And I originally wrote that part with people who are dating in mind. But then I thought about some of the guys I knew who went in the military and some of the girls I knew who were with people in the military. Same with oil rigs. So I took off the dating part and left it open. But yes, happily married people shouldn't cheat if their partner leaves them for a couple of months.

Yeah, Kate was a fricking bitch Instagram

Then she publicly made fun of his penis size after they split up.

its almost like they seek narcissistic people who would agree to be on these shows. people who would tend to have other serious problems in character. go figure.

she seemed like a horrible person from start to finish. my wife ate that show up and after they moved to the new house and she just seemed like she would do anything to make that dude's life miserable i bailed and then they split.

it devastated my wife, but i could see it coming a mile away.

Especially when the dudes are crying on camera about how much they miss the wife and kids. At the same moment, Jody is beating the wife's pussy while the kids are at the in-laws.

A lot of the dudes leaving alone, naked and afraid, etc. will play that sick card to get out of there pretty quick. I always laugh when they are complaining like they’re on the verge of death, and the narrator says all test were negative.

Sampling. The people who would do a show like Alone likely live that life normally with lots of time away. Those people are nuts and you won't get involved with those people unless you're nuts in the same way. Primitive living sucks
