This reality show is about contestants that live on an isolated island while making couples to survive. These couples can be lovers or just friends - the main point is the survival strategy. They have games and competitions during the show and at the end the winning couple receives 100.000 $
I am not interested in watching this kind of shows and I'd never be a part of that.

There are 12-19 chefs at the beginning of each season but most of them got eliminated until 2-3 chefs remain for the last episode. Every episode contains a Quickfire Challenge and then the Elimination Challenge. The competitors have to present their meals to a professional jury. In the last few seasons, the prize of the winner was $250,000. Since I don’t have the special skills in the kitchen (unfortunately) I wouldn’t like to be in it but liked the edpisode and would watch some more of them because they kept it professional and didn’t go into personal fights like in many other similar reality shows.

It’s a sports entertainment show where the competitors need to do complete an whole obstacle course to win the price. The show has competitors of six different countries, included mine, Brazil. I didn’t watch the entire season but I research and a Brazil guy won the final challenge (Felipe Camargo - funny fact: we have the same last same lol) and the price was $50,000. 
I really like this kind of reality show involving sports and competitions. I enjoy watching people challenge themselves and reach their maximum point of physical effort. I believe it inspires me in some way.

In this show one woman is looking for her true love. So in the beginning she meets 30 men and has to choose at the end of each episode a couple of men who have to go home. During the days she mets the men and gets to know them better. At the end of the season she has to chose the man she wants to be engaged with.  
I dont think I would like to participate in that show because its really competitive between the guys and that brings a lot of drama. It happens a lot that the Bachelorette starts to cry and has no idea how to deal with situations and wants to go home. 
I personally dont like watching these scenes because its seems a little bit overdramatic sometimes.

This Reality Show was premiered on May 31, 200 on CBS. It's a competitive reality show where participants are isolated in a more distant place and need to fight to "survive", such as looking for food, water, shelter, taking care not to get sick and suffering injuries. During this competition they participate in games for rewards and immunities.
The elimination occurs through a vote, where the tribe – the group that eliminates a participant. At the end of the competition the last 2 or 3 contestants are chosen by the jury (which are the eliminated participants) and they elect the winner, who wins $1-million and the Solo Survivor title.
I do not usually watch a lot of reality shows of this type, and I would also not participate because I think it tests a lot of our physical conditions, I think to participate in this program needs to have a very great preparation before the competition game.

In this show, hopeful entrepreneurs come seeking an investment from the panel called “Sharks”. The Sharks are powerful business people, in season 2 they have Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary “Mr. Wonderful”, and other three billionaire businessmen that invest in products and businesses they believe can be successful. For the entrepreneurs that come to the show, this is the chance of their lives, they can jump from selling their products online to the big retailer stores, that mean, they can make bigger sales and make a lot of money. The funny and entertaining part of the show is that many people bring very interesting products and businesses and when the Sharks are interested, they fight to each other to make a deal with the creator of the product/business. You can see a lot of ingenious products and businesses here, many of them are part of American lives now, for example, the Scrub Daddy Sponge was a huge success and it went famously known after the creative entrepreneur visited the show and closed a deal with one of the Sharks.
