Hey Matt, why is Unanimous ...
Question: Hey Matt, why is
Unanimous different from any other reality show? The people on the show had no idea why they were going to be there. If you were given the chance to win $1.5 million, what would you do?
Survivor is a show about backstabbing for dollars.
Big Brother, same thing. What about
The Real World? At least on
Unanimous they are going for money.
Deal or No Deal? Great show. However, way to promote total gamblers. The best is, they do it with their children sitting right there! You just jumped on the
Unanimous hate bandwagon. Instead of watching the first 10 minutes, you should have kept watching. I gave it a chance and it got really entertaining.
Answer: You're really asking me to defend my contempt for this utter piece of trash? (If it doesn't end up as the No. 1 worst show on
Television Week's semiannual Critics Poll, I will be flabbergasted.) Look, anyone is entitled to a guilty pleasure, but
Unanimous takes what was heretofore my least favorite reality concept, the claustrophobic
Big Brother, and makes it uglier and nastier. (And for the record, I have watched more than 10 minutes of this show. In this genre, I follow the ratings, and since people actually are watching, I check in from time to time. Still hate it.) In all of the other reality shows you mention, there may be some mean-spirited or voyeuristic aspects and attitudes, but in the case of
Survivor and
Real World, at least they're having an actual experience in the world and there is the possibility of adventure. With
Unanimous, it's just a wretched display of greed, not my idea of a good time. (I'm also no fan of
Deal or No Deal, but at least it doesn't look like it's taking place in a prison.)
