All the behind the schemes drama falls right in line with that formula. It is there to keep our wives (not that I have one) from forcing us to change the channel.
    Reality shows work since the producers don't have to pay real actors union scale. Since there's no real plot you also avoid having to hire a real screen writer.

    The phony drama works just the same as it does with American Chopper/Jr. v. Sr., American Hot Rod, Ice Road Idiots Truckers, etc.

    I'd rate Top Shot about equal to the rest; maybe a little better due to the shooting. Not a bad show to watch if you have trouble falling asleep.

        That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me. You know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. Dosen't show up on your airport X-ray machines, here, and it cost more than you make in a month.

                        new top shot was pretty cool... I like the Sniper dude, and HATE the Asian Guy... I mean yes you are team captain, but you are a golf instructor, dont talk down to someone who had a bad day... That said, Chris Tilley is legit

                          Thieves are the lowest form of life out there, except for liberal politicians, of course, but that's redundant.

                            I'm glad the blabber mouth got booted first. The blue team captain seems like he could end up getting on people's nerves easily... especially cause he has little experience.

                              I love the show because I think it puts a good light on the shooting sports. It was nice to see them using 1911s and .44 Mag revolvers. Love them big calibers!!!
