The last couple of days, I have been watching a lot of television. I have been sick since last Saturday which has forced me to stay inside and do a great deal of channel surfing. As I go through the channel, I started to do some calculations...almost every other channel I switched to was some reality show. Not the good reality shows where they would have people actually work for $100,000 but the ones where they kept the losers on the show until the end solely to make the show watchable. The first two programs I caught myself watching was, "Bad Girls Club," and "Rock of Love Bus." I swear my face remained with a disgusted look on it for 2 hours straight. Yes, I have heard bad words and I have been around drinking and etc. But every episode I watched was two girls drinking as much as they possibly could, making complete fools of themselves, then fist fighting with another girl. In the end what happened? They were asked to "Please continue to rock...blah blah blah." With the Bad Girls Club, there was no incentive whatsoever. Seven girls are thrown into a house together to get drunk, yell, then pull each other's hair out. Is this really what entertainment has come to? What happened to good old episodes and series such as Friends and Seinfeld or reality shows such as Survivor or The Bachelor where people are actually judged on the skills they have? The entertainment industry is trying way to hard to make good television when in reality all they need to do is have good programs with actually story lines.
In conclusion, reality shows have gone way to far to please their audience. Honestly, I really do not know what kind of audience these producers have conquered with the shows they are making.
