I really love these shows even when they are not particularly good. Take The X Factor for instance. I've never really liked this show, my favorite never won. But I used to like Simon's opinions when he was on American Idol. And I liked a lot of the music. And I liked Paula, but she didn't last. I do watch it, though I often leave it on the DVR until there is nothing better to watch. Don't particularly care who wins except I'd like to see an "over 25 " win sometime.
The Voice is much better I think. At least the judges are funny, and the choice of songs more to my taste. I was rooting for James though and he didn't make the finals. Of the final three I guess it doesn't matter much, though I think Jackie over does a bit now and again. But that's what a lot of folks like these days.
Now when it comes to non musical reality shows the best is probably The Amazing Race. Consider all the Emmy Awards it's won over the years. I think the right couple won this season. I was hoping it would be the guys that looked like the were from Duck Dynasty. And then when they were eliminated I was starting to warm up to the Afgannimals but then they were eliminated too.
The right person won Survivor also. There were times when I thought Tyson was almost as meanspirited as Colton or the mean girls from Big Brother last summer. But he did the work necessary to win,and I'm pretty sure he was aiming for humor. And the game has changed a lot since he last played. And he made some big mistakes the first 2 times he played.
Dancing With the Stars was only just so-so. And the best dancer hardly ever wins. But after DWTS we can start looking forward to.........The Bachelor!!! I know that this show doesn't really qualify as a completion show. Nor does it really qualify as reality but it's kind of fun,and should be even better with Juan Pablo
I still want to comment on my favorite shows from my favorite network (AMC) but don't have time. Maybe later. Oh... and Blacklist from NBC and of course Person of Interest which really blew me away the last two episodes. Maybe later.
