I guess I should have a more open mind about what is classified as a game show, I never thought it includes reality shows .

If you can win it/it's a competition, then I'd say it qualifies.

A game show is a type of radio, television or stage show where contestants regularly compete for a reward.

I don't remember what the generic Apprentice was like, but I believe Celebrity Apprentice it was for charity.

This definition includes Survivor and American Idol if you stretch it for the Apprentice. A reality show with a prize at the end (vs something like Housewives) is definitely distinct from what we'd consider to be a gameshow like Jeopardy

Of course "what the phrase actually means" is something different, but we often mod generalization, and saying "all people of a certain profession are bad" is generalization on its surface.

Ready to pointlessly go 200 posts on this or are you going to leave the explanation as-is?
This seems kind of ridiculous, people say way worse things about a lot of other professions. Is it just that no one marks those posts or are cops different from e.g. politicians?

Right but when i think about game shows I think "jeopardy" not "master chef".

Those are reality game shows, too, yes.

Just a reality show would be something like Keeping up with Kardashians.
Just a game show would be something like Jeopardy.

American Idol is slightly different, but Survivor and especially Apprentice have individual events with their own prizes all throughout that basically function like mini game show segments. Like, if you took Weakest Link and stretched it out over two weeks, only had one person eliminated at a time, and filmed the stuff in between, does it stop being a game show?

That said, while I said it's different, American Idol's format is actually probably pretty close to a game show, since you don't get any of the "reality" stuff in between. It's like if they took that karaoke game show but just made it much longer.

The nature changes enough so that while it is still a game show, that ceases to be the most useful term to use, certainly to the point where being confused that the Apprentice is referred to as a "game show" over a "reality show" is reasonable. When you start empathizing the social aspects of a show, with recurring characters and relationships over one-time guests (yes, yes, Ken Jennings and champions, you know what I mean), the reality aspects dominate in people's minds

My point in particular about Survivor and American Idol wasn't so much that they're not game shows, but they're many people's prototypes for reality shows

This is board 8.
You know it's gonna be at least 400 and you're gonna get modified, satirical versions like all mods are bastards for at least 50 of them.

(Yes that ends up proving your point regarding generalizations, no it doesn't matter to the ones who'd say it with anger or malice to you/other mods too. You totally know that you're just smacking a bee's nest with that line.)

Eh. We'd likely moderate "all Trump supporters are X", for instance. Politicians you'd be more likely to get away with and it starts to get murky, because there's less GameFAQs users that are in politics and it's seen as such a...like, common sentiment, but "All Politicians Are Bastards" could technically get an NWD/NKL on a clean history for antagonizing Warning_Crazy or that one guy on CE. I can't speak definitively about what would happen, though.

Except shows where I just want to watch the "game" like Ninja Warrior are increasingly becoming "reality". I don't like watching 10 minutes of backstory followed by 15 seconds of falling on the first obstacle followed by letting me know about 4 people who completed the course during the commercial break.

My thought right now is, Republicans cannot survive after tonight if they let the narrative run that both elections were stolen and nothing is legit, right? When should we expect the major factions in the GOP to start weighing weather further dissavoiwing Trump or doubling down will be better in the future? BOTH options kill huge swaths of their base.

This is why I stress patience among Progressives and Moderates. The key is to let GOP fracture as much as possible once Trump is officially out of office, and hope that Trump takes a lot of conservatives with him. I would hope that the GOP splits into a two different parties, and maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe then Progressives could split off from Democrats and we get basically 4 parties.

It's hard to be definitive without clear examples, and also because we rely a lot on marks so stuff like that might slip through because nobody marks it.

Of course the biggest fear is that Trump takes of much of the GOP with him and that Progressives break off from Dems, that the remaining moderate Dems and GOP just team up and become a centrist party.
