Comment of Reality Shows



         After I read two articles "Just how real are reality TV shows?" and "The real deal on reality TV". I have a thought that is reality TV show always had some problems. In the US, people love watching the reality TV shows because it is showing the story of ordinary people or how they achieved their dream. It is similar as Chinese reality TV shows and many other countries too. In the era, people do not want to watch more fancy stars who act someone else, and audiances are not satisfied with the fake stories in the TV show. They want to watch more real things are like happened in the real life than the fairy tale. That is the reason why many producers changed their thoughts about the original TV shows, and they want to find new things to attract people watch TV show again.

          At first, American TV shows have "American idol" and "Dancing with the stars" some TV shows like that. Those TV shows have the general point is all those people are ordinary. They do not famous like superstars, and they maybe has some trouble with their life or something can make audiences feel the same like themselves. Of course, people will pay it. Then, those idols would become famous, and producers also can get what they want. The common problem is "how real are reality TV". These years, many audiences found constants already chose before the show, and a lot of news like that. People found reality TV shows were not real, but why still a number of people watching this. I found a good sentence to support this thesis that is "It's just a symptom of what people want, good and bad. "It just reflects our society, nothing more.". From the "The real deal on Reality TV". I believe that few people feel the same way as those constants' experience, so they support them and want to go see their future development. A number of people may be feel fun or exciting to watch reality TV shows. At last, in my opinion no matter if is real or not, people would still watch Reality TV shows, like the article wrote "I think the danger is they're a toxin in the culture, that we can enjoy them up to a certain degree, but it's not possible to watch these shows and not be affected by them," said Kaplan.

  2. i think the majority of the people who watch reality shows are also having the same problems portrayed in the show that's what keeps them interested.

  3. actually many surveys of Americans have reported that we do not live or believe in "reality TV." Unfortunately, because reality TV shows cost less to make than shows with real actors and scripts, we are forced to watch them.
