Man fear factor was pretty dope tbh. I remember that being like annual freak out television for Me and my mom. We would cringe at every challenge and then just ask each other "you think you could do that?" Or "how long do you think you could do it? " or "would u eat that for that much?"

[@ChristoAbrie]

same for me, i was obsessed with Fear Factor. But now it's like i don't even remember a single episode, maybe i mentally blocked them, i didn't even realize till recently that Joe Rogan was the host, he looks unrecognizable with hair.

Dude Fear Factor had so much animal cruelty on it like imagine just putting a bunch of kittens or puppies in buckets and then dumping them onto people like they’re legos or something. And that’s just one example I can think of. Once I realized how badly the animals were treated on this show I stopped watching it and now I can barely sit through a full episode.

Not sure where you're getting your info from but Jerry Springer was, and still is adored. He was on TV long before your channel was even thought of. He ended the show cause he was diagnosed with cancer and died not long after. He also raised our TV father Steve Wilkos in the world of television and is still running new episodes. I think you need to learn how to fact check. And 100% sure the fact Hollywood did NOT include them in their memorial STILL pisses alot of people off.

I still love Next despite its trashy and cringe-worthiness. I recently rewatched it with my best friend who had never seen it before and she loved it and we were laughing the entire time at how ridiculous it was. I love Teen Mom!

17:09 TV producers didn't learn from the negative receptions to this because then a sexuality flipped version was produced called Playing It Straight where a straight woman looks for love and some of the men are gay, and I actually believe it's worse that way around because it was in an era where being gay was still VERY heavily stigmatised and in that guise, the gay men were the deceptive ones, not the ones being deceived like here

I don't watch any of those shows, tbh. I've heard of some, but I'm not into reality TV as much - unless it's a cooking competition, court shows, robot combat, or something like Wife Swap and Supernanny. Those beauty related ones irk me due to how they couldn't care less about the inner beauty of a person and only see their looks as their means to judge someone. Quite frankly, I don't care about how someone looks, if they have a great attitude and personality. Anyone can look a certain way, but it's the personality that counts.
