I like reality game shows like "The Mole", "Amazing Race", "Whodunnit?". Do cooking game shows count? They are kind of reality tv, right? If so, add "Iron Chef" (I'm not picky as to the nation of origin), "Food Fighters", "Chopped", "Cutthroat Kitchen", "Master Chef", "Top Chef", and "Next Food Network Star" to the list.
-Phobos, watches way too much television.
I always liked So You Think You Can Dance. by

It's your standard dance competition show, except now I can't watch it because our TV reception kinda sucks. They eliminate a guy and a girl every week after the Vegas callbacks, and the dancers have to perform in styles they aren't necessarily trained in (a ballet dancer might be given a hip-hop number, for example).

I honestly can't believe I'm saying that, but yeah. I have one.
It's called "Whodunnit?". It only ran one season, unfortunately. The idea: a murder mystery like Clue in a house like Big Brother. The guests compete/work together to solve the murders, but one of them is the murderer. Great idea, leading to lots of great scenarios - one murder to solve each episode. But the best part? The creator referred to the show as "reality fiction" - as in, it took the generally accepted conceit that reality TV is semi-staged, ran with it, and had as much fun as it could. It is cheesy as hell, and that's the point. Watch it with that in mind, and you'll have a blast.
