Okay, Bastards
Since apparantly you people (all 2 of you) have issue with my proclaming "American Idol" the most innovative reality show, I'd like to know what you think it is.
Rules:
And I don't want any smartasses to say "Pop Idol" as its totally understood they're one in the same.
If there is truly a good suggestion, I will apologise and revise the original post. I'm woman enough to admit when I'm wrong, it's just never happened before.
Comment away, fuckers.
Rules:
- Cannot be a half-hour game show
- Must be the first of its kind
- Has influenced other programs (in premise or format)

Survivor.
It provided the surprise ratings that allowed for the reality TV craze to start in the first place. It introduced the concept of strategy in the game, which there really isn't much of in AI but is in most of the rest. Without it, the good and the bad would never have been created.
What did Idol do that was so innovative? The talent search format has been done as long as television has existed, and the call in voting has precidents as well.
The most innovative reality TV show would have to be America's Funniest Home Videos. That show has been on the air for 20 years now. It has the contest, the obnoxious host, ordinary people doing stupid things and a call-in based contest with results nobody ever agrees with. At one time it was also the highest rating show on TV. That was a long time ago.
