Last week I talked about various networks and their idea of reality television. I was in the supermarket and saw the most recent bachelor gracing the cover of People and OK magazine. What is it about matchmaker shows that catch viewer’s attentions? Most reality shows are recorded within a span of 12 weeks or less (for those who are mathematically challenged about 2 months) and within that short period of time it is made to seem that the bachelor/bachelorette has fallen in love. What a load of crap!
All those women/men in the house, there’s no way the bachelor/bachelorette has time to get to know anybody less knowing propose to them by the end of the season. To be honest most of the participants on the show are strictly there for the publicity to either boost their acting career or just get noticed which actually hinders them from getting a real acting job because casting teams don’t take them seriously. In the end guess what? The bachelor/bachelorette doesn’t even stay with the person that they chose at the end of the show which proves that you can not make a stable relationship on reality TV. So, what is it the fights/ confrontations, challenges, or the idea of finding true love?
I agree, reality tv is a bunch of crap! Its just like watching any other tv show.Networks just call it reality to get people to watch it. Its all staged, scripted and produced, just like lifetime shows or law and order. Honestly who finds love when 20+ people say they all love you imposable.
ReplyDeletei think reality television shows exaggerate a lot of the aspect of real life yet sadly some peoples lives are consumed by so much television that they dont know true reality! These shows are all a part of show business. & business is business whatever brings in the ratings brings in the money.I formerly worked with a mother to one of the girls who was on For The Love Of Ray J as EXTRA i was so surprised when her mom told me about her casting but it was a very pivotal step for her career in television/acting/modeling. i think that we must all keep in mind that it is just show business and just as any business its in it for the profits.
