I never thought I would like reality television.  Then I saw Survivor: The Australian Outback and I was hooked.  Since then I have seen countless reality shows and continue to sit in front of the screen waiting to see what move everyday people will make in extraordinary situations.  My fandom of reality television brought me to many events, meeting past competitors.  Soon after, I landed a job as a writer for RealityTVMagazine.com.  I have represented them at several live Survivor finales since December of 2006.

  VIDEO Ellen DeGeneres Is Idol's New Judge
Huge news struck the world of reality television on Wednesday.  The replacement for Paula Abdul on "American Idol" was announced, and many people might be surprised to hear who is joining the judge's table.

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres announced on her program that she is going to be the new judge on Idol.  After keeping it secret for quite some time, she said it is a big relief to finally make it official.

Ellen claims to be a huge fan of the show and says she has never missed a single episode.  She believes that her opinions will be a great addition to the show.

So far, it seems most people have a positive reaction to the choice because of her sense of humor and entertaining ability.

What do you think?  Can she fill Paula's spot effectively?  Are you surprised by the announcement?

WATCH Ellen's announcement:

We will find out when the show premieres for its ninth season this coming January.
