Best Reality TV game show of 2002

By reality TV game show, I'm talking about a series where a group of ordinary, unrelated people are put in unusual circumstances, have to live together for extended periods of time, and there is a possibility of elimination. So, in other words, I'm talking about Survivor, Amazing Race, The Mole, Big Brother, etc. Combat Missions qualifies even through the contestants were from a military/police background.

I'm sorry, but American Idol, Junkyard Wars/Scrapheap Challange, Full Metal Challange, Battlebots, and Full Metal Challange do not qualify.

If I am missing a series, I do apologize, and hope that a moderator can adjust the poll accordingly.

Gotta go with the spring version of The Amazing Race. Although Survivor Marquesas would have been a fine choice as well.

Amazing race by far the most entertaining reality show on t.v. - BY FAR. I also like Big Brother and The Mole.

How about Tough Enough on the list?

My vote would go for The Amazing Race 3 as well.

Amazing Race 2 (due to Team Blaige), with 3 not far behind, and Survivor: Marquesas in last.

das, did you watch TAR2? Just curious if you prefer TAR3 to TAR2.

For me, I rank them:

1. TAR2
2. TAR3
3. Combat Missions / The Mole II

2 was great as well. I just quickly chose 3 since it's so fresh in my mind. It's really a toss-up though.

I think The Mole is the smartest reality show. Amazing Race and Survivor are also fun to watch.

I was looking for the "none of them" choice myself.
