Reality of Life

Sometimes I wonder how much of reality shows, such as Flavor of Love, are really real. The situations and actions that take place in front of the camera seem to be too astonishing to be considered completely and one hundred percent true. The naming of the girls, the drinking, the fighting, and of course the love making seem set up and irregular. It is hard for me to believe that one girl could be as stupid, as slutty, and as annoying as the girls that you can find on these reality television shows. I have never been surrounded by girls anywhere near the types that you find on reality shows. Let’s just say that these people who are, specially chosen, to take place in reality shows are nowhere near normal.


At times I will find that I turn to VH1 or MTV to watch a couple of minutes of one of these shows. Now they are not exactly the next History channels, but they are at least funny. Many people find fake life funny. That is how I know that it is fake; life is just not that funny or that entertaining. The thing about reality shows is that they are far from actual reality. Many of the events that take place on the shows would never happen to normal people in real life. Maybe we enjoy reality shows more than other shows because of this. Life tends to get boring and these reality shows make certain aspects seem interesting.

I question the extent to which these shows will go in order to continue entertaining their viewers. These are the shows that influence negative attitudes and turn our sweet little American girls into the next porn stars. In the future, hopefully, reality television shows will tone down a little bit.
