Fake Reality Shows

Fact: my tormented life. Life deals with its up & downs. Lately, I feel more down than up. Nothing worked out the way I wish, hope for. I want to reach my highest possible potential, but some so-called people are always holding me back. Wish there aren’t hurdles, obstacles in life. Wish everything & anything in life is more straightforward. I hate competitions. People are always competing for say, a job, housing, a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrity status. People compete in sports. I understand competing in sports and on game shows (Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, for instance), but reality shows take the cake!

Reality shows used to be fun, right? Now it’s just crazy! People with no talent whatsoever compete against others with limited or next to no talent, only to be voted (!) off at the end. Reality used to show raw footage of how one group of young adults deal with a whole different culture (thanks, MTV!), but now, reality shows have taken a whole new meaning! Now they make you do all these crazy stunts like eat worms (Fear Factor) creepy! Or even worse yet, there are all these backstabbing, catfights, which are mostly edited out. They leave the boring stuff out and put in the dramarama in.

Most of the talent competitions’ winners become overnight sensations. I don’t believe it! How can you become a sensation when you haven’t even work at it?! Unreal! I called those overnight sensations one-hit wonder because once you win, you just become a winner and then people forgot about you.

Reality shows have lost all of its entertainment value. Famous want to become even more famous. But why? As a publicity stunt, I suppose. Ordinary folks want a chance to be in the spotlight.
