It's no secret that I'm a fan of the reality television genre. I think why I'm enamored with reality television on the whole is because I'm a people-watcher type of person. Sort of like Sylar on
Heroes, I like to see what makes people tick. And what better television medium is there to watch them tick, scheme, plan, and more than the reality genre?

The New York Post reports that
Fear Factor host Joe Rogan got into a fist fight with guest Jonathan Baker, who was once a contestant on
The Amazing Race and was filming an episode of Rogan's NBC reality game show. The paper reports that during a stunt involving alligators, Baker's
Playboy model wife was yelled at by Johnny "Fairplay" Dalton from
Survivor (ugh, what a horrible episode of
Fear Factor this must be), and then when Baker tried to stick up for his wife, Rogan punched him a couple of times.
Fear Factor executive producer Matt Kunitz admits there was a confrontation, and there is even a clip of the fight on the
Fear Factor site.
Check it out (video on upper left). I can't get it to work, but there is audio and pics at
Baker's official site.
(P.S. I wonder if this was a real fight, or just publicity for the show, which happens to return on June 13?)
