No such thing as 'Reality' television, except for the news. And even that's 'surreality' most of the time.

All the people on all these shows know there's a camera, and yes, on some level, they're acting.

A bunch of middle aged women, cosmetically enhanced, fake nails, fake teeth, fake boobs, fake tans, all swilling wine and champagne of the back of a yacht while plotting to stab each other in the back.

Oh, yea. That's reality.

A bunch of pretty kids, all with no visible means of support, all put up in a 5 million dollar groovy home, supplied with all the food and liquor, siitting in the jacuzzi, slammin' back the stylish drink of the day.

Oh yea. That's The Real World, for sure.

An entire family of long raven hair, with lots of curves, have a show where I believe the only real purpose is further their.....career? Career at what, exactly?

I will admit, because I have always been fond of very curvy women, and long dark hair, I watched about 10 minutes of that one before I couldn't stand to hear their voices any longer. They are nice to look at, though.

A bunch of illiterate, uncouth, foul mouthed, self important people from Jersey (not ripping Jersey here, just happens to be where they're from) who's only real talent is getting drunk and acting like idiots, are provided with a place to live, endless booze supplies, and al the nightclubs they can hit.

Actually, that bunch is probably closest to reality, because you just know they're like that, cameras or not.

Mind you, other than watching the curvy girls for a few minutes, I gathered all the rest of information in this post from TV commercials advertising their shows.



Jiminy Crickets, give me a break.

I can't believe after all that spill you were so close to the truth on what sells on TV.. Your focus is on the bait rather than on the truth..
Your manhood is acknowledge but.. Hmmmm.. Eye candy and no substance?? Boy.. The producers appreciate your attention to detail..:D

I didn't think the fact that sex sells was something I had to say. I thought everyone knows this already.

Eye candy and no substance is everywhere you look.

As far as focusing on bait rather than truth, my last post is the truth. It's my truth. If anyone disagrees with it, groovy. They have their own truths.

As far as attention to detail, even though don't watch these shows, these people are the cover of every magazine at the checkout counter.

At home I can ignore them, but at the market, there is no escape.

^^I consider "reality television shows" a misnomer and the worst scourge in the history of the medium Vehicle.

I am proud say I've never watched any of them going back to Survivor when it was the greatest thing ever.:rolleyes:

I can always find something else to do than witness normal people make fools of themselves, either by intent or if indeed that is how they carry on in their private lives.

Life is too short, and I would rather live my own life than watch others live theirs' anyway.

Well I've read that when times are tough people like to watch rich people and celebrities on t.v. even more than they would normally. I guess they sort of live vicariously through them? Perhaps when the economy is better viewers won't care about reality shows as much anymore.

The first few seasons were good but it started being staged and it wasn't as good.The last season concerned Shannon wanting to adopt a child while the rest didn't want to.it wasn't that good
