Live finales
We watched the finale of The Apprentice LA the other night, and it was one of those "live" finales.
Survivor has been also doing it that way since their 2nd season.
Big Brother does a live finale every year too.
I have to say, I can't stand that format. It's all so fake and fabricated. The studio audience is being coached by the on site directors to applaud and whoop it up at the right moments, which makes for a whole lot of false emotion due to the fact that people know that they are on a live television broadcast.
Even the actual participants in the show somehow change because there are a lot of people and cameras around them where before, it was simply "game-show as usual" so it takes away a lot of the feeling of the show that you tune in for in the first place.
I think they should completely do away with this "live" format. Not only for all the reasons I stated above, but also because it's just way too cheesy.
