Okay, so this show looks freaking hilarious! NEW YORK, July 2, 2008 -- Tune-in and get ready for the ultimate Reality TV satire! COMEDY CENTRAL presents its first unscripted competition series, "Reality Bites Back," where ten comedians will vie for supremacy in weekly parodies of the most notorious reality shows around! The challenges may be absurd, but the gameplay is real and each week one unlucky comic will find him or herself booted off the program by our gleefully sadistic host, Michael Ian Black. The last one, er, "standing" will be crowned Lord of All Reality and receive a 50,000 dollar cash prize. Viewers won't want to miss the series premiere of "Reality Bites Back" Thursday, July 17 at 10:30 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL. The all-new series satirizes and pokes fun at such staples of the reality genre as "American Idol," "Survivor," "The Amazing Race," "The Biggest Loser" and more. The already patriotic "American Gladiators" becomes the hyper-nationalistic "Almost-American Gladiators," in which the contestants must fight off roided-out Border Patrol Agents as they replicate the immigrant experience through physical challenges; sub-lebrity exploitation is taken to new heights as the contestants stalk and shoot down their d-list partners in "Hunting with the Stars," and, because the public loves to see amateurs fail at skills it takes years to master, the comedians are given 24 hours to become Olympians in "So You Think You Can Dive." Culled from the ranks of seasoned comedy veterans and up-and-comers across America, these stand-ups will do anything for cash and glory! No stunt or psychological game is too humiliating for this group of comic warriors. The comedians vying for the title are Kyle Cease, Chris Fairbanks, Jeff Garcia, Red Grant, Tiffany Haddish, Bert Kreischer, Mo Mandel, Donnell Rawlings, Amy Schumer and Theo Von. "It makes total sense that the way COMEDY CENTRAL would choose to get into the reality game is by making fun of it. The nice surprise that came out of making the competition real is that viewers actually root for a winner," said Lauren Corrao, President of Original Programming and Development. <snip> Press Release Reality Blurred article Official Website Don't forget to watch the video, it's hilarious!

Theo has a bit of an unfair advantage of course, having done Road Rules and RW/RR Challenges...

How was this show? I was watching Swingtown and forgot all about it last night. Sounds as though it may have been funny. Is Comedy Central repeating it at all this weekend?

It's funny, Kc. Mindless silly fun. And yes, they rerun it several times during the week. I noticed in the previews that Holly King from Big Brother 5 is going to be on one of the eps.

Omg this show is to funny!. The talking dirty.. then it turns out to be a parent. I was thinking that would be a awesome challenge on the real Big Brother! Funniest part is when the girl who referred to her.... mmmmm.... "big black cat" and it turned out to be her grandmother who is a Jehova Witness. I was lmao. Can't wait for next week!

I never saw any of those real gladiator shows, so I think the funniest part probably went over my head this week. (but I still enjoyed the show and laughed)
