18-25

If you fit these categories can you answer these for me? A huge thank you in advance.

What do you consider reality TV?
Give examples of reality TV shows?
Do you watch reality TV?
List shows you watch?
Are their reality shows you won't watch?
Do you like reality TV?
Why or why not?
Do you believe the situations on reality TV are real?
Do you get confused between reality TV and real life?
Do you think reality TV is better than your real life?
Do you think reality TV start are celebrities?
Do you use social media to follow reality TV stars?
If yes, why do you follow them?

[heybrad]

Do we have anybody on this board under 18? My kids picked the wrong week to go to camp.

[PackerFanatic]

I find it kinda sad that I am out of those age groups now...man, I'm getting old.

[QuikSand]

Hey Brad.

We're old.

[heybrad]

Don't you old people have kids you can ask?

He answered, "mine", "im ungwy", "gooooooooo", and "dadadadadada".

Alas, I'm too old to fit either category.
