What I really don't like about reality shows. [View all]

The producers want you to identify with at least one participant. They're just like you. They're like a friend. You feel outrage when they're wronged or attacked, even by fellow cast members. You feel like you know them.

And in "reality," they're abstract people with problems, challenges, maybe personality disorders.

Tell me if any of you relate to any of the Kardashian brood (or even give a shit) or any of the "Housewives", esp. Teresa Giudice? Because of their so-called reality shows, they think they're important. They expect to be recognized as celebrities. And in the final analysis, you wouldn't trust them to do the simplest things. All you need to do is to listen what comes out of their mouths.
