How NBC Will Spend Our Summer Vacation: Getting Real
Whoever said the reality-TV craze was over obviously hasn't talked to the suits at NBC. This summer, the Peacock will be feathering its nest with three returning reality shows and yet another new one. First up is America's Got Talent, which kicks off on May 29 with incoming ringleader Jerry Springer (sans bodyguards... I assume). Next, the fifth cycle of Last Comic Standing premieres June 13, with Bill Bellamy as host. Frosh date-a-thon Age of Love, fronted by Mark Consuelos (aka Mr. Kelly Ripa), bows June 18. And last but not least, The Biggest Loser hits the treadmills in late summer, with Days of our Lives' minx Alison Sweeney presiding over the weighting game.

I'll tune into Loser to see Ali, but I doubt I'll be a faithful viewer.
Comic has got to better than last time.
Talent needs new Talent and not just the contestants. They need new judges. I also felt like Regis was a little handcuffed last time and wasn't given free reign to do his thing and thus, wasn't fully effective.

Count me out. The only NBC reality show I was looking forward to but I'm apparently not going to see is Treasure Hunters 2

Would you prefer reruns of current shows than original reality programming?

Looks like we'll be watching our stock of DVD's this summer and we hope NBC tanks in the ratings. What an insult to it's formerly loyal viewers.
