Reality Television, My A@#

In my most humble opinion, people who think up these reality television shows as well as the contestants themselves are in a word, pathetic. People who eat dead animal parts or get on a show to be the biggest bitch or act outrageous to gain popularity, clearly are untalented and will stoop to the most impossible lows to gain fame and fortune. Is it really worth it? What does your family think? What about your kids? Would you support them if they wanted to be a contestant on one of these programs? Let us give the props to the correct shows, shall we? I believe that The Real World on Mtv and Fear Factor were the fore fathers of the reality television generation.I hardly think the creators of these shows ever envisioned the plethera of of similar programming it would spawn.
       After the release of information that Dancing With The Stars sent out memos to the competitors about who would be let go and who will be coming back confirmed my suspicions that they are as fake as the day is long. Furthermore, why in the hell do I care who got voted off or what the contesetants had to eat this week to win the money? One main draw to these shows are the inevitable trainwrecks that probably will and did occur. Take the Osbournes for instance. Most people watched to see how smashed Ozzy was as heself medicated and his kids try and one up each other in more and more outrageous fashions. Sadly, the people that watch these programs feel connected in some way to these nut cases. What does that say about us as a society? Some of these shows deliberately place people with serious character flaws/issues in a confined space with otheers that have the same problems. What do they expect to happen, really? That trainwreck I was talking about earlier. Here's the best part... These incompetent nit wits walk away with millions of dollars, fame to go with it and the knowledge that some suckers like us will sit in on a Saturday night and watch it!! Realizing makes me question who is really more pathetic? Us watching or the people on the show itself?  Any thoughts?
