13 Fear is Real? Not on a Fake Set...


"13 FEAR IS REAL" (2009)? Is it great TV? No. Is it ok TV? Yeah it's ok. This show had MAJOR potential to actually be cool, but it turned into a horror show- and not in a good way. It is mildly horrifically entertaining, yet extremely comical.

The Basis of the Reality show is 13 twenty-somethings stuck in the middle of nowhere in a swamp faced with a scary situations and bazaar twists and turns- yes, there are bugs.

Just like survivor and fear factor, there are challenges that the group must go through to avoid being kicked off the island...oh shit I meant to say avoid the elimination round. The elimination (they call it the execution...much spookier to say) has the people on the chopping block get out of scary horror like scenarios in order to stay on the show.

Last week two girls were buried alive and had to break through the coffin and the ground to stay "alive". I'm pretty sure even though one succeeded the break out both girls "stayed alive". I don't understand why these people are so scared of the dark- its a freakin reality show that has a camera crew on every turn.

This weeks episode had the execution round with a chained cage of rats on their heads. The rats had no way of getting to their faces, and even if they had, they really would not have messed them up that bad- rats you buy for TV usually are not vicious, just slightly nibbly.

Do i recommend this Horrific Horror Reality TV Show?
Sure! Just don't get pissed, it's just reality TV not anything worth while.

  1. We need another reality TV show like we need a hole in the head. I mean seriously. Soon they'll be out of ideas and it will be 20 people trying to eat and pass a whole turkey before the clocks run out. I mean lets get a bunch of slutty chicks together to fight tooth and nail to win the heart of a loser. Then weep and whine when after 12 hours the dude isn't "in love" with them.
    I think the Devil is creating a special section in hell for these reality show producers. I am not sure exactly what happens there. But it is likely to include a bloodthirsty donkey, molten lava and some 8 foot tall demon named Bubba.
