Not even Christmas is safe from reality show producers.
The people who brought you Dancing with the Stars have another show up their sleeves: Clash of the Choirs. It will pit five celebrity singers who will go back to their hometowns and try to build a choir. Once the choirs are built and perform live, viewers will vote for them via phone (of course). The winner gets to pick a prize for their hometown (I suggest maybe passing a law that says no reality shows can be filmed in their hometowns). The four episode show will run just before Christmas, December 17-20.
If the show is a hit we can expect more Christmas-themed reality competitions. How about Dancing with the Stars of Bethlehem? Or maybe Are You Smarter Than Jesus Christ? Or perhaps Who Wants To Be A Sidewalk Santa? 10 men engage in feats of strength, bell-ringing, and other challenges to see who gets the best corner in New York City.

This was a great show. Remember the X-Files episode? Sadly... ahead of its time. And, given the quality of CGI animation today... somewhat primitive.

Do I dare ask Chester why this is part of "another round of Politically Correct ways of dealing with the holiday?" If this is a way of avoiding a few more repeats of forty year old Christmas specials and putting on something new, I'm all for it.

I thought reality shows would have ended by now. I think they are gonna have to do better than this to pull anyone away from American Idol, anyway.

Spare our minds more nonsense! A true reality show is celebrating Christmas not having mocking it. Respecting the holiday with wonderful shows, such as, "It's a wonderful life" and "Miracle on 34th Street" is enough. Think about it.
