If I asked you what are the reality shows you are aware of. I am sure you can come up with a list, from American Idol to Botch, there are many reality shows out there . Some that are geared towards competing and challanging individuals others focus on the life of some of our famous and beloved celebrities.
As the years have gone by many of these shows have gotten cancelled while some are on their 10th season. I have enjoyed reality tv, when they first started it was something new and exciting . But as the years have gone by and theyve added more and more season. I am starting to wonder are they still really necessary, and why are we still drawn to these types of shows? How many times do we need to see a good looking guy or gal trying to find love among 12 potential bachelor/bachelorettes?
Moreover, It has been proven that many of these reality shows are staged. So why call it reality when in fact its really scripted? The problem I have with some reality shows is that it gives a bunch of nobodies the oppotunity to become somebodies ( remember Jersey Shore?) . It portrays a group or race of people in a streotipical light ( Love and Hip Hop). Which is and inaccurate depiction of a group or race of people as a whole. Then theres those celebrity reality shows , which lets be honest are definetly scripted they need to keep views entertained and engaged so why not have a shot of scripted with a dash of "reality".
So whats your reason for watching and do you think that Reality tv will phase out?
