New TV-Show season has started

The new season has started!
Which shows am I currently watching:

The Apprentice
So far have seen 2 episodes... And must say so far I am not that impressed. On the first episode they need to make cup-cakes and sell them for charity. Honestly was quite surprised when I saw them seriously making cup-cakes. In my impression it was all about money, who cares the product! Think they should have focussed a lot more on using their celebrity power to get some $$$ in... At the end in total they raised about 120K? And that was done with 16 celebrities, that makes 7.5K a head. Would expect a celebrity that makes millions to have contacts that can easily pay more than that for charity (and probably more important being able to show off on national television that they do something good for charity).
The second episode, wow both teams seriously lacked any originality.... And both teams were a total mess during the preparation. Hope the show will start improving soon....

Hells Kitchen
Great show, althou quite confident certain people should have been fired but just kept on the show to keep pissing off Ramsey...

Breaking Bad
Interesting show. Not very realistic I guess, but do like the aspect of the good person gone bad after he found out he is terminally ill. Did have some moments in my life when I would think what woul I do when there is nothing left to loose...

Lie To Me
I like this show, but think you do have to take the concept with a huge grain of salt. Really doubt it would be so easy for certain people to read others that precisely especially when not being able to really focus on a specific person. But still makes for a great show...

Survivor (occasionally)
Still haven't really made up my mind for this show... I would like this show to move more back to it's roots. A real survivor! Just let them survive without all the games to get bonus items etc. Think it would be a lot more interesting to see, althou the general public might not agree with me here? (understand conditions can be harsh already, but handing out fishing gear etc. after the first challenge? Can't they let them suffer a bit longer if the people on the show have no creativity to make use of the natural equipment in their environment?).

Yea I realize I do watch quite a lot of shows, a bit too much free time.... Hope soon that will be over...and I can complain again about a busy work schedule ;).
