reality tv

hi. my name is sandra and i'm a tv-aholic. which, sadly, includes reality tv. i draw the line at some things. like the surreal life, the swan, real world, road rules to name a few.. the surreal life b/c it really doens't look all that interesting. the swan b/c i think it's depressing and not a good show overall. the real world, road rules, and real world/road rules challenge b/c i never grew up with cable so i never really watched it. except for the really old ones that were on late at night on regular tv. but there are some reality shows that i do watch. i watch the simple life (to laugh at paris and nicole), the apprentice, the biggest loser, and he's a lady. omg.. he's a lady is great. it probably takes away the brain cells that i might have earned from watching the apprentice. it's basically a contest where a group of men compete to be the best lady. a drag beauty contest. very too wong foo.
i wouldn't be sad if reality tv left forever and ever. but if they think up new shows like he's a lady, i might not mind it as much. but if more shows like temptation island and the swan are created, i don't know if i'll like it too much. it's all about the concept. and how it's executed. but that's also true for all shows. but real shows have more to worry about. a good concept, good chemistry with the actors, good writing, and actual viewers. that's probably why there are so many reality shows popping up everywhere. even cable. like queer eye for the straight guy.
