^ Never saw them. In the UK, reality TV shows really are regarded as tacky shows.

Big Brother, X-Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, Survivor etc. etc. I don't think ALL reality shows are guaranteed to be tacky but the fact there are so many reality TV shows, it really needs something special to change people's perception of the genre. Shows like Jersey Shore fuel the tacky perception, in the UK we had something similar ages ago, can't remember the name but it was filmed in Ibiza and it was about club rep and every just got hammered and had sex.

Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing With The Stars) I originally thought was tacky, after watching it I became a fan of that particular program's formula.
