"You've almost got it!" said at least a dozen times during the standard showing of the futile attempts to start fires (shown on every single Survivor). Just once could someone actually get one lit.

JP saying "come on in guys" can't he think of something else to say?

"It's gametime/It's on!/I've got my gameface on."
And any variation thereof. Always said after a contestant gets beaten on some test or gets screwed over.
Memo to reality contestants - Since it's always been A GAME ya shoulda been ready to play from the first day! Did no one tell you the rules?

I know Big Brother is a major source of annoying reality lines. But let's keep this thread on an overall reality show phrase annoyances. Sometimes I have know idea who you're referring to cause I ain't watching BB this time around.

Every darn week, same exact phrase.

There are three words I wish would be taken out of the dictionary: absolutely, amazing, connection. I AM SICK OF HEARING THEM!

"You're a strong/smart player. I had to nominate you." Often said by those who apparently prefer to compete against the weak and stupid.

yeah, that whole ordeal with the nominations... "I am going to take the key out and that person is safe, then they will pull a key and so on and son on until there are no keys left"... uh DUH we've only been watching you do this every week for the past few summers, I think we got the idea....

Some sayings become lore in the game. Rituals like the "you are safe" in the noms, and "the tribe has spoken" at Survivor tribal council are immediately recognised by any fan of reality. Andy Dicks' "The Assistant" takes the sayings and rituals from EVERY reality show, past and present. The show is tongue in cheek,VERY tongue in cheek, but it is a remarkable indictment on what viewers come to expect in their viewing.The fact that most people who come to TVCH forums know all the sayings, rituals, set ups and let downs-know them all by heart, tells me that we all like that stuff even if it is sometimes hokey! Our world is not an orderly place. Reality shows help us with feeling secure in an insecure world. I'll step down off my soap-box now...

OK, Mssilhouette. I think I understand the question now. I find it annoying when people say, "I've got your back."
Thank you for your patience with me. I'm new to discussion groups.

"Haaardcooore". (This seems to be a good thing if the speaker is referring to self, or an alliance menber but a bad thing referring to others.

"I'll be so satisfied with second place."

"I'm honored to be in top three (or four or five or..)"

"Calling out". Pfft!

"Journey"

"Most dramatic rose ceremony ever"

not words, but the thing Jeff Probst does with his arms (after saying "Survivors ready...go")

How about this one from BB:

"And with that said, this adjourns the nomination ceremony"

Hate it!

I hate all the crocodile tears - especially Karen on BB this year crying on every single person she schemed to evict!

People who say "I've learned so much about myself", mostly Survivors, such as Tina and Mama Kim. Who gives a rats what you've learned about yourself?
Or "It's just a game." Phooey. If first place is one million dollars, it is serious work.
