Just want to have a rant about reality tv shows
We all have enough assholes in our life. Why do we as a society sit through hours of mostly celebrity wannabes bitching to each other via fabricated and edited for a purpose storylines. We have enough crap in our lives, why expose ourselves to more.
There are particular shows that particularly **** me. Biggest loser is one. It is fake from the point of view that the weigh-ins aren't weekly, a fair amount of cling wrap is used, and contestants will fast and even visit a sauna before the 'weekly' weigh in. Contestants starve themselves, and do intense cardio for 6 hours a day. Many contestants go on to either put weight back on or develop an eating disorder. It is sadly false hope to the masses who want to lose weight and keep it off.
Master chef is another thing. Main issue is that contestants can be given 3-5 goes at making a dish. Not fake but really bending the truth.
Then there is kardashians, Jersey shore etc. one YouTube commenter summed it up with 'thanks to watching 5 minutes of that I now have to watch all 13 episodes of Carl sagan's cosmos to de stupid myself'.
If this is what constitutes as reality to many people, as a society, we are done for.
Rant over for now.....
