Reality Television

"Joe Millionaire," "The Bachelorette," "Survivor," "American Idol," Anna, and Ozzy are among the current reality stars have taken TV by storm. Now start paddling because the next wave of reality TV is about to break.

From the minds behind "The Bachelor" comes a new reality series, "The Will," where siblings square off game show style to win the family loot.

But if you want a real dogfight, check out this puppy pageant. Miss America goes to the dogs with "Miss Dog America," a pageant with female dogs scratching their way to the top while representing their home state. Executive Eric Schotz gave "Extra" the lowdown. He says, "Contestants are all judged on four criteria: beauty, poise, talent and evening wear."

Can you imagine judge dread Simon Cowell playing cupid? The "American Idol" judge is producing a new elimination dating game. He says, "Everyone at home is going to have the opportunity to match make, and they're going to be voting people off just to upset the girl who they may or may not like. It's going to be hilarious."

Kids can do the darndest things and now NBC is lowering the age limit to find "The Most Talented Kid in America."

Finally, the people of "Joe Millionaire" hope to keep their millions of viewers with a dose of "Mr. Personality." It’s a cross between "The Bachelorette and "The Dating game, with one simple twist: all the suitors are wearing masks.

So if you thought the reality world couldn't get any wilder, get real.
