Reality Check!

I don’t know what it is about reality tv that makes everyone want to tune in every week to see what is going to happen on the show. It seems that this country needs some kind of “drama fix” now-a-days. If you haven’t noticed reality tv has turned out to be not so real, everything looks completely scripted all the way to the last chick fight and tear. But why do we care so much about if Tila Tequila is going to pick a girl or a guy, or who she’s going to pick at all. Or what hoe Flavor Flave is going to pick and who cares about who’s your baby’s daddy. What’s the point of these shows? They’re so stupid yet we tune in every week, we all know that they mind numbing shows that show no purpose and serve no real educational value. What happened to all the cool game shows like the ones in the 90’s? Like Double Dare that was always fun and look how fit the kids were back then, Why? Because they had to run around to win the prizes, it’s the ol’ carrot tied to the stick tactic ” You better move your butt if you want to get the prize”. Legend of the Hidden Temple, was another fun game, it was actually made you think. Well I guess what I’m trying to get at is what happened to shouting out the answers to the questions and really having to think. Instead of just sitting on our butts watching people get drunk, watching everyone stab each other in the back, just creating drama. And we wonder why American’s don’t seem so up to par educational wise with other countries. Think about it the next time you’re watching the Real World, or should I say the UNreal World. Go watch The Discovery Channel.
