The objective of the show is to make the other guys laugh, while trying to maintain a straight face themselves.

Reality television has come a long way but a shoot off competition seems to be heading in the wrong direction. But the premise works! This popular program combines sharpshooting with challenging elimination rounds until there is only one left standing. Beginning with sixteen contestants who are then split up into two teams (eight to a team) they face a variety of shoot off challenges. They have time to familiarize themselves with each weapon used with help from a well experienced trainer before taking on the next challenge and the team with best scores will win the day's competition and are safe from elimination (similar to other reality show competitions but with guns). Colby Donaldson, from the TV reality series Survivor hosts Top Shot and he will hand out the $100,000 prize. Contestants include retired police officers, a former Federal Air Marshall and firearms instructor, former Marine and US Army soldier who is a 4 time winner of the "Rifle Expert" award, member of the USA National Rifle Team, and a competition shooter that was platoon commander with the British Army. They are a very capable and competitive group of contestants that make this much more than merely a shooting range competition.

When Bravo began promoting "The Real Housewives of Orange County" TV series in 2006, the producers and the network hyped the series as a "documentary" hybrid of ABC's monster hit "Desperate Housewives" and Fox's equally popular "The OC." The emphasis on "real" did not suggest "average and ordinary"; instead, it suggested "real" as opposed to the housewives on Wisteria Lane and all the pretty people in the rest of the prime real estate south of Los Angeles and north of Camp Pendleton. In its first several seasons, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" TV show beguiled and enraged viewers with its emphasis on five frighteningly wealthy women ensconced inside an exclusive gated community and addicted to shopping, tanning, and their own petty dramas: for example, should a smart-mouthed, disrespectful daughter get a new BMW or a new Mercedes for her sixteenth birthday? In subsequent seasons, reality has caught-up with the housewives, who have been forced to down-size and down-scale in the wake of job losses, foreclosures, marital problems, and other genuine crises in the lives of "real" housewives.

"Kourtney and Kim Take New York" chronicles the continuing adventures of the unmarried Kardashian sisters as they work their strange magic on adoring fans in the Big Apple. Like magnets among loose nails, the girls draw a crowd wherever they go, cameras stalking every step. Viewers enjoy more of the intense Kardashian programming they apparently craved and demanded. On any given day, E! empowers you to keep up with some kind of Kardashian in at least three ways during approximately twelve hours of non-stop first-letter-"K" programming. If it weren't for the success of Chelsea Handler, E! News, renegade women fleeing the Playboy mansion, and "Fashion Police," the Kardashians would fill entire programming days. Apropos of "reality" programming, "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" has neither plot nor script, but it has plenty of "situations." Kim, more or less determined to remain single for an entire year, nevertheless has no qualms about exciting hook-ups with assorted styles and flavours of eligible New York bachelors. Kourtney, ostensibly the more level-headed and businesslike of the two, apparently lives vicariously through Kim. Together, they allegedly run a business in-between pictorials, promotions, parties, and "Patron"-powered club appearances. Moralists might worry, as "Kourtney and Kim Take New York," they corrupt an entire generation of impressionable "˜tween girls, but studies show thirteen-year-old boys are the Kardashian sisters' biggest demographic.

In 2010, if you are not filming a reality show in New Jersey, then you really are just experimenting in the reality gene. Obviously, New Jersey has special purchase on "real" America: New Jersey housewives owned Bravo, and New Jersey skanks owned Mtv, so E! naturally followed suit with "Jerseylicious" TV show, a marginally real depiction of life in "Gatsby," a strip-mall hair salon. Of course, all of the characters on "Jerseylicious" bear a frightening resemblance to Snooki, but, as the promos are quick to emphasize, "the tans are darker and the teases are higher." On "Jerseylicious", the stylists battle one another for clients and boyfriends"”not in any organized competition, of course, but in that snarky and insidious way that apparently happens as a result of breathing too much Aqua-Net and nail lacquer. The New York Times insightfully notes, "The best-looking person among the workers or the customers is Anthony, the only male member of the staff. There are trumped-up rivalries and domestic tensions galore, none very convincing."

The Bad Girls Club TV Show is a reality show on the Oxygen Network that is more of an experiment to turn seven so-called "˜bad' girls around. They are deemed this because all of them have some sort of behavioural, psychological or personal issue that make the world view them as that. So while living together, the girls deal with relationships, achieving goals and just surviving, but can they hold it together. Not only do they have to survive outside their homes, but they must get along inside as well, because all girls have contrasting personalities that prove to be volatile when mixed. The Bad Girls Club TV Show is definitely full of drama and shock factor that will keep you coming back!
