How "REAL!?" Is Reality TV?

Basically to prove a point in this blog, Reality television is nothing but flesh eating ways to get people's attention to watch their how. Most Reality television in my opinion is just ignorance like what every popular example is "Flava of Love". Excuse my french but the show is just about a reject rapper that looks like a monkey on crack trying to find true love which in my opinion is bull! Reason why is because the show just like other shows like "Charm school" get the stereotypical African American woman who wears long nails, ugly weave, blonde hair, like pigs feet and basically look like prostitutes with probably two baby daddy's. Then there's the "The Surreal life" where i'm supposed to watch a bunch of broke celebrity rejects and one hit wonders try to get famous again after my genertion don't even know who they are, they're basically a bunch of losers. Not to sound harsh but that's all it is. Then you have the "Rock of Love" where fifteen sluts along with maybe two black chicks(I'm sorry if it may sound racist or something, i just hate it when i see black people on a white reality show)want an 80's rock star, go through all these fights and bar drinking moments to find out later at the reunion "oh sorry babe, i thought i wanted you but i didn't" I'm not trying to say that reality shows are all fake but some reality shows are actually interesting and some have lost their edge. I remember i actually had a talk with my mom about how i couldn't stand the real world and my actually said that the Real World was her favorite show when i was still in diapers because at the time the show was real about actual people and she even told me about a gay Aids person in the house and it's affect on the other house members. she said the person also died as soon as the last episode aired. She actually quoted, "Back then the Real world was real but i don't know what wrong with your generation now cause now when i see it on tv it's depressing because it's all about partying and getting drunk, and hooking up." And then you have the show Bad Girls and Tila Tequila which just finds something new to attract us to find out that they're still all fake in their own way but season 2 of both shows were good!

Maybe reality television just stopped getting real at some point and just got "Fake Real" meaning it's real people but they're all fake just trying to show off for tv. I like shows like "Top Model" but i think it's losing it's edge even though i've been watching the show since i was 12, i've seen every season. I wanna study theatre soon and i want to be in the fashion industry if i get the chance and from the show, I've learned that the modeling industry is no joke, people are always gonna try to sabotage you at some point and that's that i've learned watching it. "Project Runway" is also teaching me that(I love Heidi Klume!).I just wish that it could be real like "Keisha Cole the way it is" or "Tiny and Toya". Right now i'm actually watching Real Housewives of Orange County and it's interesting, never seen it before but all i know is that i really don't like Kim. She seems like a Gold digger and who the heck is Big Poppa? Nene is a B@#$! Sheree is full of herself, Oh i like Kandi! well i've always liked her since the group Xscape. The show has got me hooked becuase it drew my attention becuase it was about african american women with huge wealth in their resected towns just like the other house wives, which is rare. The show looks real right now but later on i have to observe if it's fake real or just real drama, plus the fights are good.

But anyways getting off topic Reality tv is just something to get our attention with something we relate too. I watch "Tiny and Toya" cause i do have some realtive issues, not as bad as theirs but i can relate, Tyra is teching me what to do and avoid in the fashion industry and i'm also learning i'm not going to spoil my kids like "My super sweet 16". Reality shows teach me things and just make me laugh, it's ironic in a way. Well... thanks for reading!.....
