You say, "Why Reality?" I say, "Why not?"

Ever had an “OMG” or “Oh no she didn’t” moment, or loved the fascination of weave flying, sex scandals, embarrassing alcohol incidents, party scenes, real life situations you could relate to…well that’s reality TV for you. Many directors come up with shows knowing it will catch the attention of their viewers, and the only way they could succeed is by giving the viewers what they want! I mean who wants a show that if it’s on TV you think about watching it, and try and find something else that is better? NO ONE! Usually everyone has that one show that they auto tune it, save time in their schedule for that one show that if you miss it, you hurry up to find the next showing.

Charm School: a reality show thats main focus was to
change the habits of "bad girls" and change them
to proper and well educated young ladies.

I LOVE reality shows; however, like books there are different types of reality shows, from cooking, to dating, to the whole DRAMA package. Now myself, I personally love the DRAMA! Bad Girls Club, True Life, Ru Pauls Drag Race, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, there is so much drama; it makes soap operas look underrated! Reality shows has their positive and negative outlooks, but like most things, people tend to focus on the negatives and not the positives. But not me, I am all about the good things. You could ask me, “What do you get out of these shows?” or even tell me, “You’re wasting your time.” I have heard it all before, especially living with parents who thinks its nonsense, my opinion, they are just old school! Reality shows allow you to connect with a character, or even open up your eyes to the world around you. A reality show may seem pointless in ones eye, but in others they see it as, “if they could do it, I could do it too!”

"Amber Alert" Bad Girls Club

But these reality shows uncover the ugly, they show the true colors of everything, from the pressure of cooking professionally, to the harsh thoughts of the dating shows, to the behind the scenes of party animals. Although I tried to make it plain and clear that I love reality shows, I do believe there is a negative side. Sometimes I wonder if the characters on these shows realize that they have people from all ages watching their shows. So watching a show like the Bad Girls Club could influence little girls that wearing something revealing and sexy could get you a date, and that having fun is a means of torturing others and drinking. But sometimes I also wonder if people see the whole picture behind these reality shows or do they just see what they want to see. Like the Bad Girls Club, sure it’s a show about the “badest bitches,” and their tendency to get crazy and drunk, but it’s supposed to be a show where the girls later realize that being the “badest bitch” doesn’t always get you anywhere, and that you will have people who “hate” but you shouldn’t confront all of them, because you will still be confronting up to this second, and lastly its shows that every action has a consequence. I just have one request for all reality show viewers; choose who you want to be, and LEAVE THE DRAMA BEHIND!
