Reality TV is only made because it is cheap under the facade that it is somehow 'true life'. We have 'I'm a celebrity... get me out of here!' where about 10 z-list are stranded in the Australian Outback for bloody ages. We have had about 100 series of Big Brother- ooh how thrilling to watch normal people scratching their arse.

I would rather forget actually, it left us with some of the most rubbish bands/stars the world has seen. And i really liked Will but who did they make a big deal of? Gareth, did Gareth actually win!? uh NO!

I think some of the stuff is in good taste, but a lot of it is just tacky. The president of entertainment at ABC came into my class last month and she told us the only thing she is after is rating. They can be well aware of how crappy the show is, but they don't care as long as it does well. Its really sad, but that is how it works.

What will they do next? They will trick someone and make it look like their loved one has died. And a day later say TRICKED YA! I wouldn't put it past them.

Post by: Steveau on October 07, 2003, 03:57:25 pm: My favorite reality show is Amazing Race and Survivor. I watch just to laugh at how stupid people can be. Everything in America is done for profit and ratings = profit in TV so it's no surprise we get reality up the wazoo. Same goes for the news which is why we get saturated by scandal, war, and terrorist stories. I'd rather watch reality than the news frankly. Laker games take precedent to everything for me.
