Take The Challenge: Who's That Star?
Everybody who watches reality shows, especially reality competition shows, does it: you wonder how well you would fare if put in the same situation. I really don't have the talent to be on a Project Runway-type show, or the ability to eat gross crap that you need to make it on Survivor, but I think I could hang on The Amazing Race for a while. I don't think I'd win or anything, because I would definitely be the one who constantly has meltdowns over obstinate camels and whatnot, but I don't think I'd be eliminated first, either. I can't cook much more than pasta, but I'm also pretty sure that if I were on Hell's Kitchen, at the very least, I wouldn't make Gordon Ramsay vomit like Matt did.
AOL asked a bunch of celebrities what reality shows they would tackle if given the chance. While most of the answers sounded more like desperate pleas for a job, others were annoying and some were just kind of hilariously misguided. Check out some of the answers after the jump.
Kyra Sedgwick, whom I adore on The Closer, takes the prize for most annoying answer, because she's just too good to even watch reality shows, much less deign to appear on one, so she suggests her own, "How about something like 'The World Peace Reality Show,' where everyone goes around and tries to create peace in different countries?" Ugh.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of C and D-list celebs want to be on Dancing with the Stars, because that would actually get them steady work. Antonio Sabato Jr. and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Alfonso Ribeiro had the best reasoning for not actually being on the show though. Sabato says that he totally could have owned DWTS, had his inner circus freak not won out, "The producers actually came to me about being on the show, but I ended up picking Celebrity Circus because it was even more interesting to me." Because it makes total sense to choose a show that airs in the dead of summer to about four viewers instead of a reality juggernaut. Alfonso Ribeiro, on the other hand, is just too damn good to even be allowed on the show, saying, "it can't happen because they consider me semi-professional." Yes, that's why they're not returning your calls.
While some of the other celebrities choose "classy" competition shows like Top Chef, Entourage's Kevin Connolly would like to give Survivor a shot. Although, it seems as though he would be as terrible at it as I would, saying, "I don't know if I would eat bugs, though. I think I would rather eat my own arm." Just wait until they break out the rats; you'll be praying for a nice grasshopper snack.
If you could be on a reality show, which one would you choose? Would you even bother with the competition shows, or would you just head straight for The Real World house with a crate of vodka?
