Inspired by [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=431352), which reality show can you claim as your own? In my case, the sad answer is [this unfortunate show](http://www.trutv.com/shows/black_gold/index.html). If there is nothing currently suitable, feel free to invent your own show (TV producers are awaiting your answers). ---

Are you really in that Black Gold show? What episode? How do we spot you? I’m not in any reality show, but if I was, it’d clearly be **The Mole**. I even tried out for it, and have thought about doing so again. ---

I sent in an application for _The Amazing Race_, but didn’t get contacted. The next season that airs, I’ll be looking at all the cool places I don’t get to go. Apart from that, my closest brush with reality TV was _Pirate Master_. I was on that ship a few months before it was filmed, and I knew most of the crew that was behind the scenes and really running the ship. Horrible show, though. A shame, too; being on a ship like that in a place like that should be the adventure of a lifetime. All they showed was the conniving and backstabbing, the silly obstacle courses, and the lost treasure of the prop department. It was cancelled before the last episode aired. ---

My wife and I liked Pirate Master. Yes, it needed to be re-worked for season 2, but it didn’t deserve to be canceled(in the summer anyway). By the way, they “aired” they final episodes online. The skinny blonde guy won. That show could have been Survivor(which I like) on a boat…with Pirates. 😛 🙂
