    People keep calling him a “game show host” and I feel like I’m missing something. Are people calling the apprentice a “game show”? Thatt was reality TV imo, not a game show.

      I thought more game show than reality, like survivor. Apparently the genre is “reality competition”

        But no one calls survivor a “game show”

        Yes I know it’s a game. But that genre of tv is entirely different. And that should be apparent to anyone who has watched tv once in the last 30 years.

          Wikipedia calls it a “reality game show” for non Americans.

          Your comment was unnecessarily rude and arrogant.

          It’s a game show. The contestants are all competing for a prize. Why is the term game show so offensive to you haha

        The two genres? Sure. That show? No. In no way does that show resemble a game show to me.

          I’ll take your word for it because I never watched a single episode. I just had it in my head that it was a last man standing kind of thing where he fired one person at a time until there was one “winner,” but maybe that’s way off.

      Game show is more accurate, given he’s not a real businessman.

        Reality tv isn’t particularly “real”.
