Across all reality shows: "I am fighting for my life" or "It's do or die".
"I don't want to go home" then blubbering how you miss your family.
The Biggest Loser: how they always refer to weight loss as "pulled" as in "He pulled 10 pounds this week" or "I only pulled a 4."
Big Brother: I hate Julie Chen's constant talk of the "chopping block" and her lispy way of saying "houseguests".

Oh man, no kidding. That's pretty much what I say to the TV whenever they say that.

Reminds me of the one I can't stand on Big Brother, said right before 1) revealing who's been nominated, or 2) revealing whether the Veto winner will use it: some long speech saying nothing about nothing, ending with "With that being said..." Huh? You didn't SAY anything!
