Watching inkmaster. Pisses me off how full of sh*t that show is. First season was allright though.

Haven't watched that for years - not sure if it's still shown on Foxtel

I miss Richo too. How good was he when he cracked the shits at his teammates

Loved it when he cracked it at KP hitting that sign

Is on Amazon Prime now.

They just choose who they want to win at the start and that's it.
Judges are apparently experts but aren't.
20 hour tattoos somehow take 2 hours.
Plus more. It’s just full of sh*t.

Just gotta sit back and enjoy reality shows for what they are.

I looove Below Deck but theres several behind the scenes/non real stuff that goes on. Am also fairly certain theres like a "secondary " crew who cleans the boat not just the ones we see on camera

I reckon tho the deckhand that fell overboard and could have srsly drowned... igot a hunch that was real

True. I used to love Gold Rush but I knew it was full of shit the whole time.
This show just annoys me for some reason. Probably cause I don't need the fake drama to entertain me but they throw it in anyway.

I think it was Deadliest Catch where a couple of people actually did die.
Haven't seen it though.

I'm pretty sure that most reality tv isn't actually very real - it may not be fully scripted, but I don't think it's free reign just capturing people doing whatever without influence from producers

There were a couple on Foxtel a while ago.
A glass blowing one and a knife making one that were just totally normal.
No drama.
I can fully understand how they would be completely boring to most people though and I don't think they're still going.
But I liked them.
But yeah, your absolutely right. Not real.

I remember the Osborne's where they had a whole another sister that lived at the house but she didn't want to get shown so they pretended she just didn't exist and was never born.

 

[cats_09]

Not sure on the glassblowing one, but the knife one do you mean Forged In Fire - love that show

Yeah I think that was it. At the end they go home and use their own forge for the final one??
Was that the one?

Aimee. From a previous relationship i think. Dead ringer for ozzy.

Yep

I've also watched their spinoffs

- Knife or Death; contestants (some are former contestants of the original show) bring in an already forged blade & it's a case of who can destroy the most items in the quickest time, top 2 move to the second round & repeat with more difficult tasks
It's not bad, but the commentators get annoying with how over the top they are

- Beat the Judge; similar idea to the original but the final round is versus a judge as to whom can make the better blade but using the shows forge for the final battle

The original is my fav

Murray Walker's best quotes

"There's nothing wrong with the car except it's on fire"

"With half the race gone there is half the race to go"

"I imagine the conditions in those cars are totally unimaginable"

"Either that car is stationary or it's on the move"

"Do my eyes deceive me or is Senna's car sounding a bit rough?"

"And the first five places are filled with five different cars"

"And this is the third-placed car about to lap the second-placed car"

"The battle is well and truly on if it wasn't on before, and it certainly was"

"Two laps to go, then the action will begin. Unless this is the action, which it is"

"I'm going for first" (Explaining away a British Touring car driver putting up his middle finger)

Murray: "There's a firey glow coming from the back of the Ferrari!" - James Hunt: "No Murray, that's his rear safety light"

"Let's watch this typical Formula Ford start!" (instead they promptly all ran into each other)

"It's a sad ending, albeit a happy one, here at Montreal for today's Grand Prix"

"Andrea de Cesaris, the man who has won more grand prix than anyone else without actually winning one"

"Unless I'm very much mistaken... I am very much mistaken!"

"And now excuse me while I interrupt myself!"

"The young Ralf Schumacher has been upstaged by teenager Jenson Button, who is 20"

"It would have been Senna's third win in a row if he'd won the two before"

"I'm ready to stop my start watch"

He was just trying to upstage Captain Blood.
