Has anyone ever heard of a show called Solitary? It ran from 2006-2010 on Fox Reality Channel... probably one of the funniest/torturous shows ever in existence. The contestants that signed up for that really must be crazy, because the things they make them go through were crazyyyyy (like these ppl seriously all have mental breakdowns at least once an episode)... 9 ppl locked up in indiviudal pods with no human contact/outside world contact for the entire duration of the season... the only company they have is a computer "Val" (obviously a nod to Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey) who tells them what they can and cant do. You have to see it to believe it though.... I watched it years ago, but i'm sure some eps are still up on youtube/streaming sites. Great show, but you'd have to be crazy to sign up!!! (good thing fame-obsessed reality stars are all crazy)

Solitary was freaking amazing. One of the best reality shows ever. Too bad it was on a failure of a network. I could see it still being around if it was on a different channel.

right?? I didn't even know Fox had a (now discontinued) reality channel until looking up this show. It really was amazing... it had a super low budget, but it didn't matter because it was just pure entertainment... we are sick humans - we love watching others get tortured and pushed to their limits. Like one of my favourite parts of the show were the elimination competitions - where it was basically a test of "how long could you last" and the first person to stop would be kicked off the show... but the twist is that nobody else is told when the first person stops... so they just keep going and going for no reason, until they finally they cant take it anymore (could be hours after the first person dropped and left the show lol).

I really liked the reality show where the kids had to run the town... Kid Nation. It was a really good concept. Interesting to see how kids worked problems out.

I rewatched 1.0 and 2.0 a couple months ago too, but 3.0 was my favorite by far.

I haven't watched this show in a few seasons and I don't see myself watching this one. Bob shouldn't be the host and I personally didn't care for him much as a trainer. Dolvett does a better job dealing with the contestants emotionally and I don't know the new lady trainer. Jillian did right by leaving after that one lady lost all that weight and looked sick at the finale. I don't see the show being around much longer.

OMG i remember that!! She went to like a super unhealthy weight just to win the show.. it was crazy. I havent seen the show in years... mostly just watch the finales of it to see the results haha... definitely not something I follow. I didn't even know Bob was now the host haha Yeah I don't recognize the girl trainer... maybe she's new this season, or was Jill's replacements a couple seasons ago

I remember watching Rivals 2 on TV which was my first challenge season so then i did some more exploring. On USA i came across a show called Summer Camp around the same time Rivals 2 was airing. it was interesting and i think Debut Album liked the show too.

very cool!! MTV Canada actually produced their own reality show thats like a mix between Road Rules and The Amazing Race haha... In "Wild Ride", 15 ppl (5 teams of 3) all race one another in Tuk-Tuks through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, then back to Thailand in time to see the famous Full Moon Party. Teams are made up of friends and ppl from all over the world (Canada, UK, Germany, France, USA, Sweden, Australia, etc)... and they create the teams themselves (they can even switch team members during the race if they want to)!! they are all 20-somethings looking to party and have a good time during their race, but there will also be a ton of drama as well. They first have to learn how to drive the Tuk-Tuks (3-wheeled vehicle), and from there they have a map and they are completely on their own, each with their own camera crew. It's a 30 minute show (hooray for old school 30 minute MTV shows!! haha) and because its on late night its completely unedited for swearing lmao

It's a pretty interesting concept!! Enjoying the first episode already... one guy didn't make the meet up in Thailand with the host because he blacked out the night before after the bars and woke up on a park bench at the University of Thailand lmao... a hungover girl had to throw up during the hosts introduction and ran off set. another guy got arrested and they had to run around to other teams and locals to beg for bail money. This all happened before they even departed on the race lmao... but don't worry it's not done in a trashy way.. it's actually pretty funny!

If you can find it online somewhere (not sure if its airing in the states) i'd recommend!

found a preview/trailer to it: http://blueantmedia.ca/portfolio/wild-ride/
