      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

      I love that description of him. I’ve been calling him that since he threw his hat in the ring back in 2015. I forget who I first heard/read it from, but it’s one of the nicer accurate descriptions of Rapey McTinyD.
