How many Survival Shows have you watched?

Many groups are formed through Survival Shows. These shows are considered to be cruel and fascinating at the same time. People feel that these shows are unfair, rigged, scripted, and staged. Since many shows are based on public voting, the chances of popular trainees debuting are higher than the remarkably talented underappreciated ones. But, few people believe this to remain a platform for the trainees to shine and develop themselves. These groups are renowned even before their debut, but most of them disband within a year or two. This list can also contain shows in which existing groups compete and battle against each other.

So, what are your thoughts about the Survival Shows and how many Survival Shows have you watched?
