We've all watched them and we heard the lines..err lies. So break out your list:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#1 "It's only a game"
The "make it all better after you screwed me over big time" phrase. Or the mantra repeated to keep onself from going postal on the other contestants.
Annoyance rating: 100

#2 "I'm not in an alliance!"
We all know this is NEVER true. Ever! It's meaningless, pointless and will always guarantee that a contestant will get voted out/kicked off or set up.
Annoyance rating: 75

How about a variation on the “I'm not in an alliance” theme.

"We're not in an alliance like you are. We're just friends"

P.S. I also love Joe Schmo and the way they parody the "real" reality shows.

How about "this has been the most amazing experience" How many times have we heard this?

Kady - Too funny!
~~~~~~~~~~~
On any romantic/dating shows:
"You're really a great/amazing person...but"
Meaning: The producers don't think you'll pull in the ratings so I gotta pick someone else.

"We've really made a connection that we'll continue outside the show"
True meaning: I'd step on you if they'd offered me 5 more seconds of facetime on camera or $100.

The word "amazing"! I cannot believe people cannot come up with a different adjective!

In addition, describing the whole situation as a "journey".

LOL at this thread!
I always love the word "connection"
It can be heard on ANY reality show, but especially on the dating shows.
This is a great drinking game. take a shot whenever someone says "connection" LOL!

"If I can do it, you can do it"
Overused and always proven untrue. Normally said on Fear Factor after having to digest yet another unsightly bull/cow/pig/sheep/chicken external or internal organs.

"He/She/They aren't stupid
Normally said after the "I'm not in an alliance" phrase is bantered about so much that everyone else gives the person the classic "raised eyebrow, narrowed gaze" look.

Hey folks, it's a reality show not Jeopardy. No one is a rocket scientist or they would have figured the percentages of getting on and winning a reality show long before the tape rolled.

"We're gonna miss you/You were great."
Always said when anyone loses. Hey if they were that great they'd still be on the show!

"I've made some great/lifelong friends!"
On the same thread, this phrase flies in the face of "It's just a game" Most often effective by hugging or patting the "lifelong friend" whom they met 48 hrs-7 days ago. Someties said by the loser of the game. Oh yeah, those lifelong "reality" friends will spend well at the bank.

This is one that always gets me: "I don't care if I win, I just don't want so-&-so to win so whichever of us stops that is alright with me." ~~ this is usually tied to them being voted/sent off and whispering to those left: "stay strong, don't let so-&-so win."

I also hate the alliance conversations, especially when someone in the their previous alliance has been voted off so now they have to regroup. This usually leads to them talking to someone they had called "fake" and wanted 'out' about how everyone else is fake and can't be trusted. lol!

LOL at Pamy. I agree. I also hate the HOH explaining every week "as HOH it is my duty to nominate two people for eviction" We know that -they know that --- GET ON WITH IT!!!

Yes, that whole routine...the HOH getting the box, gazing at the pictures of the houseguests...taking down the keys...staring at them in the HOH room and then inserting them in the box, not to mention the whole nominations ceremony...come on BB - after 5 seasons we've figured out what is going to happen and so have all of the houseguests!

(Besides, does anyone really believe that the HOH doesn't know up until the last minute who they are going to nominate? I would probably know within a day of being in the house...LOL)
