Well, Survivor, Amazing Race, Big Brother, and all of Realty Shows are not game shows. However, they post them as well. I am trying to go with the flow.

There is a huge difference between those shows and American Idol, which really doesn't even have reality aspects to it.
And we have people doing stupid crap around here on a daily basis, but that doesn't mean everyone should follow suit.

I was thinking the same thing wondering why this was posted at all.
Only thing I can think of, and I'm stretching here, is that Idol is hosted by Seacrest who has his own Game show resume.

Let's see...
Survivor - $1 million
Big Brother - $500k
Amazing Race - $1 million
The Apprentice - A 6 figure job for one year
American Idol - Contract, a CD, and tour with the rest contestants for a year
Your point is...

Let's see....
Winning the NEXTEL Cup Championship...............$4,750,000+
Winning the Masters...........................................$750,000+
Winning a local golf Tournament..........................$1,000
Winning your local league bowling championship.....a order of onion rings from the snack bar, and a new pair of gloves.
Your point is?

Nope, just one glove. Budget cutbacks and all...

Not that I agree or disagree, but this has nothing to do with the price of tea in China, let alone the point at hand. At least acknowledge and counter it. That was just sad.
So yeah, next topic.

Chumley, STOP. You lost the argument. End it peacefully before you break that resolution you made even further.

Wow.
Gee, I hope I'm not sued for that, making a certain poster richer.

A paraphrase of something stated here by one of the mods: A game show is a nonjudged competition for a tangible reward.
"Fear Factor" a game show? You betcha.
"Amazing Race" a game show? Yep.
"Survivor" a game show? The tribe has spoken--no.
"Apprentice" a game show? If you think so, you're fired.
"Idol" a game show? Randy, Paula, Simon and the viewers are all judges. It's a competition. Competitions aren't necessarily game shows.

No, it's not competition. It's fan favorite show. You suck at singing, per Randy, Paula, and Simon, but with the right crowd and fast fingers, you can stay for several rounds.

I'd love to entertain her troops.
If American Idol is a game show, so is Face The Nation. Cue John Wilcox:
"Returning for his 548th non-consecutive week is the distinguished Senator from West Virginia----------Bob Byrd!!!"
Bob Schieffer: "Bob, welcome back to the panel. Now put your mask on".

Well, an Invisioner who shall remain nameless has previously declared lingerie ads and porn to be game shows. American Idol's somewhat closer to the mark, at least. :-)

Ummm...I thought Debbie Does Dallas WAS a game show...see who can raise the most money, and the winner gets a trip to Dallas to cheer with the Cowboy cheerleaders. I loved that theme song!
(looks at clock) Damn! Bed Bath and Beyond is closed!
