Reality TV

I absolutely hate drunken people! Especially ones who decide to throw up everywhere. And especially ones who decide they want to throw up outside. That is just nasty & unsanitary. This one drunken girl may have cost me my perfect apartment in fox ridge! Everything was going well on the tour; my mom loved the apartment & thought the price was good. So we were leaving the apartment with the fox ridge guy & this girl stumbles out of the building next door, looking all disheveled & nasty, & throws up in the grass. This was just feet in front of my mom! Needless to say, she is not happy about me living off campus anymore nor is she happy about Fox Ridge. So I would just like to say thank you to random drunk girl for ruining my next year. Now that I have got that out of my system, on to what this blog is actually about, reality television.
I admit that I am a reality television addict. It is just so darn interesting! Every time I’m done watching a show, I wonder why I just wasted an hour of my life watching that crap but I still can’t wait until the next week. Some of my recent additions include for the love of ray j, my Antonio, real world/road rules challenge, & true life. All of these shows are on MTV or VH1, which says something. These channels were created to play music but now all they play are TV shows. The only time they play music is late at night/early in the mornings. I wouldn’t mind seeing more music on these channels instead of crappy TV shows. One of the shows that annoy me the most is Cribs. Why in the world would I want to see how much more celebrities have then I do? I just don’t get the appeal of the show. All it does is make me angry. Especially now since they have teen cribs where it shows rich kids & how much they have. Some of them basically have their own houses & cars. It’s crazy! Thank you for flaunting how much you have when everybody else in the world is suffering. Great idea for a reality show MTV, great idea.
Another show that is pretty darn ignorant when it was on the air was flavor of love. I was embarrassed to be black for the whole time that VH1 aired that show. That is not how most people are. Flavor Flav is out of his mind & a media whore (I absolutely love Perez Hilton, that’s where I got the word from). I think the only reality TV couple that has actually worked out is Trista & Ryan from the first season of the bachelor. I think now they’re married with kids, which is cute & lucky for them. But 98% of reality TV show couples do not work out. How could they? I don’t think you can fall in love in the course of a few weeks, especially when it is watched by millions of peoples. Also, people aren’t going to be there true selves when the cameras are rolling. They’re going to show out for the cameras because often times they want work on TV after the show is over. They don’t really care about the other person involved. People also let the competition get to them. They transform into the person that the other person wants to be just to win. I feel that a lot of these people aren’t genuine. They just get so caught up in the competition & backstabbing the other contestants, that they lose track of themselves in the process. But the part that I would have the biggest problem with is the fact that so many other people would want & be with the same person that I like. Out in the real world we call that cheating. I just wouldn’t be comfortable watching the guy I was with kiss 19 other girls. It’s also pretty gross, especially with the swine going around. I’m frowning up just thinking about it. I would also feel pretty disrespected. But in the world of reality television, there is not much respect.
A reality show that I really LOVE & that I think has a good impact on America in particular is biggest loser. That show is just so inspirational. At 8 pm on Tuesday nights that is the only thing that I am doing. Since obesity is such a big issue in America these days, the biggest loser is so relevant. It inspires people to make a positive change in their lives. And not just by taking the easy way out & getting plastic surgery. This show encourages people to do it the healthier & nastier way – good old fashioned diet & exercise. This is what America needs. Some overweight people are more concerned with the cosmetic aspect of their obesity, not the health aspect. Carrying around so much extra weight is not meant for your body. I was watching this show on TLC about Manuel, he used to be the heaviest man in the world (and he might still be, I don’t remember). But he was over 1,000 pounds. A man who weighs 1,000 pounds! That’s crazy! That is ten times more than I weigh. TEN TIMES. That is just crazy. He couldn’t get out of bed or bathe himself. He was a grown man in his 30s who couldn’t get out of bed & who depended on his mother to bathe him & do basically everything for him. Anyways, he tried all these different remedies to try & fix his weight issue but none of them had long term effects. That’s why I like the biggest loser. It encourages techniques that will last a lifetime. You can never go wrong with diet & exercise. If I had to pick one reality show to go on, it would definitely be the biggest loser. It kind of makes me want to get fat, just to lose the weight on that show
