reality shows stupid or boring celebrities
disgusting sympathy freak shows

If you ask me, there are far too many so-called 1……. on TV. First of all, there are the sort of shows with ten people in a house doing 2…… things – and, and being thrown out one by one. Then, there are the outdoor versions of those, in the jungle or in a forest or whatever. Those ones usually have some very minor 3…… in them, who’ve agreed to take part to get some publicity for themselves. And, some of the 4 …….. things they make them do! Ugh! But there are also so many programs about people who are different from the majority in some way – very fat people, very small people, people who have strange physical differences. They say they’re showing them to ‘increase our awareness’ or to get our 5……. for people who are somehow extraordinary. But, if you ask me, they are just like the old 6……… they used to have back in the 19th century.
