Britain's Got Talent isn't a reality show in that sense, is it?

Exactly - I've never considered the likes of Pop Idol, X Factor etc. to be "reality shows" - and Britain's Got Talent has even eliminated the element borrowed from reality TV of having one contestant eliminated each week - though I believe the second series of America's Got Talent is being revamped into this sort of format, which is a shame IMO.

To coin a phrase, The Apprentice is the one to watch tonight

I may tape BGT and run through it at 10.30 though

I'll be watching The Apprentice . Then I'll be switching over to More4+1 to watch True Life Stories .

Speaking of which, do the Ten O'clock News and Newsnight count as reality TV? They cover things that happen in reality...

I'll be watching Britain's Got Talent tonight. I've never got into The Apprentice, and I've lost interest in BB.

Nobody on this forum has reported the ratings

The Apprentice - 6.8m (27%)
Britain's Got Talent - 7.1m (29%)
Big Brother - 2.1m (8%)

I'm very surprised that BGT didn't just maintain it's audience but actually increased it. Most people I know who are watching BGT opted to watch The Apprentice last night

Channel 4 have been really stupid with the scheduling of Big Brother this year, seemingly finding the most competitive in the schedule and putting it there. They will be airing it opposite Coronation Street next week at this rate

Tomorrow actually, though to be fair it's Corrie muscling in on Big Brother's slot!
