do you know anyone who has been on a reality show?

have you been in the audience for any tv show? (interested to hear about audience of sitcoms and daytime talk shows specifically but id love to hear your experiences with any other type of tv shows). i want details too! how you got tickets, did you fly there, what happened before the taping, how true-to-tv was it, what were some things you learned about taping tv shows, did you get any gifts, what were the hosts like iRL, etc??
