" Sure, you love tuning in every Thursday night to watch Jersey Shore \u2014 the drama, the things JWoww considers a shirt and all the Sam/Ron fighting. (Psst! CC recaps it every Friday morning!) We long to see people make fools of themselves on TV. And, although we can&amp;#039;t wait for Ronnie to act like a crazy person on next week&amp;#039;s episode, we&amp;#039;re pretty sure that our IQ goes down ten points every time we watch (and re-watch again... in marathon form). It&amp;#039;s becoming a problem... But surprisingly, there are some reality TV Shows that won&amp;#039;t leave you with the &amp;quot;Is tuna chicken or fish?&amp;quot; feeling. So, here are some of the best-kept reality TV secrets: House Hunters What is one of the best things about reality TV? The fact that you get to be invited into people&amp;#039;s lives! The best thing about House Hunters? You get to see random people&amp;#039;s houses, oftentimes worth WAY more than you&amp;#039;d ever be able to afford! Oh, and an added bonus: there is never any drama. It makes you feel smart watching it, because you get to see the way people live all around the world. Plus, it&amp;#039;s a wonderful escape from the stress of papers and exams and boys of college life.   My Life as Liz It&amp;#039;s entertaining! And not MTV&amp;#039;s usual scene (i.e. Jersey Shore, Newlyweds, 16 and Pregnant). It centers on Liz, an art student at Pratt University in New York, and her everyday life. The catch? She&amp;#039;s a nerd! The show, although at points seems like a sitcom, is completely real and totally worth a watch. The Biggest Loser With tips on staying healthy, as well as a new workout partner, this show absolutely qualifies as smart reality TV. At points, there are tears shed, and, yes, sometimes drama. But with the purpose of taking unhealthy adults and turning them into lean, mean, fighting machines, all drama can be forgiven. I mean, come on, you have to love how there is finally a show that wants its contestants to succeed! Ghost Hunters Maybe not the brainiest of brainy shows, but at least there isn&amp;#039;t a hot tub scene. The show revolves around specialists of the paranormal sort who try to find hints of paranormal activity for their clients. They even show the team doing research at libraries! Insta-smart points right there! What are your favorite reality shows! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
