My reality TV
Pick a night and turn on your tv. You will find most channels now have some sort of reality tv show. We can change the channel to watch the latest episode of Jersey Shore or watch an exciting performance on American Idol. We might prefer to watch people starve themselves on Survivor or watch them get fired by Donald Trump on the Apprentice. Personally, I always enjoyed and hoped Flavor Flav would find his true love on the Flavor of Love, I'm still hoping for you Flav. Point is, there are so many kinds of reality shows now days that we don't need to watch shows like Jersey Shore, Real World or Celebrity Rehab to get our fix of drama. And for the parents out there who don't want their children watching men and women in their early thirties getting drunk in public, there's tv shows for the entire family to get hooked on together. Shows like Cake Boss and Kate Plus 8, those kids are so cute, are more family friendly and little-kid appropriate. Television producers realize that not everybody wants to watch the drama unfold all the time. So they capitalized on viewers who want to watch tv shows about things more relatable to them. For instance, Yes to the Dress and Flip This House are two examples of show viewers tune in night after night as an alternative to the drama. Personally, I'm more a fan of shows with competitions bewteen average joes. The Amazing Race and Top Shot are among the top on my list. But the truth is, ALL reality tv shows are addictive. Good luck America, soon our country will be governed by the Situation as President and Flavor Flav as Vice President. I'm officially throwing in the towel.
