Reality show clichés

What are the annoying clichés have you heard from the mouth of idiots on reality tv?

My contribution:

"I came here to win." <- no shit?

Or when voting someone out:

"You're playing the game."

Duh.

Introducing a "big twist" for the season that only lasts an episode or two before the game goes back to the same old shit.

black people are angry, white women are dramatic and everytime they have someone who is from the south or west he always wears a western shirt and/or cowboy hat. I'm from Texas and I've never owned a cowboy hat.

On shows like Project Runway and Top Chef the always appropriate "You haven't heard the last from me". Yeah, we probably have.

"I never thought I would fall for someone on a reality show"

"I'm not here to make friends"-Sorta the same as the OP's contribution

"This show is harder than it looks on TV"

"I can't believe I didn't see that coming" Usually said right after they've been kicked off the island/out of the house/etc...

It sounds like we are listing every cliche from this season of Big Brother.

Dramatic music with a dramatic closeup of someone's facial response said to something outrageous.

The most common cliché I encounter is me changing the channel.

How about a LONG-ASSED "Coming up..." where they essentially show you the entire content of the next segment to the next "Coming up"? Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew and High School Reunion are both extreme cases notorious for this!

"I've worked so hard to get here"
"I deserve this more than anyone here because..."
"I'm not playing a game. I'm just being myself and that should carry me to the end."
"If Shamicka Lynn isn't here to win, she should just go home!"

Most courtesy of America's Next...Top...Model.

If there is a black person/people...they will fight before the end of the season.

Check out MTV's Making The Band with Diddy's rap group, "Da Band". The members brawled every single episode!

"That's OK, That's OK."

On American Idol when the judges didn't like your performance, or Deal or No Deal when you pick a case holding a large amount.
