Turn on the television any evening and you will most likely find a so-called "reality show an at least one of the major networks. These shows usually include some kind of competition or offer a glimpse at the real lives of people. Often the "reality revealed in the reality shows has been edited and changed in order to make it more dramatic and less like real life. So why are we so obsessed with watching reality shows when we could be enjoying our own lives? Ask people who watch reality shows and they will tell you something like "It's interesting to see these people compete or "I like to see what another person's life is like." But when these shows are edited and rearranged for dramatic effect, viewers are not really getting a glimpse of another person's life Reality shows, even the competitions, are still first and foremost money makers for networks. If that means a producer has to make an argument look more dramatic or make one contestant look cruel and connving, so be it The next time you get succered into watching a reality or competition show with your friends, think twice about the drama you witness on the screen Consider reading a book or going out with friends instead. And remember that your reality is far more real than any television show.
