1. Yes, reality TV reminds me to change channel!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (02.22.12)
2. Reality TV? Anything BUT!
Michael Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (02.22.12)
The so-called "reality TV " is anything but reality-- it's completely staged to give the audience thrills without the risks of interpersonal conflicts. Anyone watching these so-called programs is guaranteed to reduce their IQ by at least 20 points...
3. breaking Jewish law
frank ,   jerusalem   (02.22.12)
They broke Jewish law because they went to chutz la'aretz? Or were there other things they had to do like break Shabbat or eat non-Kosher during a challenge?
4. Thank G-D a Rabbi with common sence
Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (02.22.12)
5. Reality TV is a plague.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (02.22.12)
6. Religious couple?
JDE ,   Boston, USA   (02.22.12)
Holding hands in public, smiling, dressed normally - they aren't *really* frum!
7. #6: Uniforms r not holy (aside from the Kohains)
Ezra ,   US   (02.23.12)
And there is no place in the Torah that excludes an observant couple from holding hands in public. It does NOT violate the rules of Tsniut, only the fringe and fanatical minhaggim of certain sects and or cults which means nothing at all. It's a shame how far away from reality the worlds perspective has veered because of the so called "ultra-orthodox". There is no such thing as "ultra orthodox"...just varying levels of observance. Whoever calls themselves ultra-orthodox is simply saying they are extremist/fanatics. But the Torah Prohibits extremism: THAT is the meaning of modesty.... THE MIDDLE WAY, Not what some silly and lost souls would claim as they repress women while raping children (which happens more than enough among those fanatic sects to call it COMMONPLACE). U should know better.
8. #2-you're almost right, except that anyone who watches that
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.23.12)
"dreck" has only about 20 points to begin with.....and I am being magnanimous here. I am for good gossip & scandal as any normal person, but these fake going-ons are so BORING and devoid of any fantasy that it truly borders on scary! Unfortunately the success of these cheapo programs points toward the true level of average "Human Mind" and I'm no genius myself, trust me on that.
9. really frum?
Shaina ,   Southfield, USA   (02.26.12)
I hope you're kidding about them not really being frum.
