Upon their conception,
reality shows seemed like a good idea.
Why not give people a chance to tell their story?
Why not see how people live on the day to day?
But somewhere along the way,
things took a turn.
The earliest reality show I can think of is MTV's Real World.
7 teens and 20-somethings live in a house in a popular city
coming together from all parts of the country
to show what happens when people stop being polite
and starting getting... "real".
It's been a ride of drama and foolishness ever since.
The next big hit would have to be CBS's Survivor.
It was here that reality took a stretch.
Putting people on an island like they're stranded...
but then giving them challenges for "immunity"
so they can stay stranded. Haha.
Here people's ugly side comes out,
because now money is involved.
They lied, they cheated...
they formed alliances... oooo.
Which they would only break in the long run.
It wasn't long before dating reality shows came along.
The Bachellor was on of the stand outs, easily.
But it was no where near as entertaining as the shows that followed,
especially on VH1.
Flava Flav started it all.
It was ridiculous how many good lookin ghetto girls he had fightin over him.
It only made it better that he nicknamed them all such slutty names.
Then, after being rejected twice by him,
Tiffany Pollard aka New York got her own show.
Soon Bret Michaels got his own show.
And soon more and more spinsoff came along,
like Real Chance of Love, Daisy of Love,
New York Goes To Hollywood,
and my favorite For the Love of Money.
It's kinda like Real World vs Road World,
where drama, dating, and money collide.
Aw, it's a fuckfeast of amusing shit.
Now, it's okay that these minor celebrites have their own shows.
They have nothing better to do than try to rebulit their image.
But recent Diddy and Ray J have been on their reality show grind.
You can tell that they struggling,
Ray J more so than Diddy.
Diddy does likes to punk people around on TV.
Rather it be Making Da Band, Making His Band, or I Wanna Work for Diddy.
This is beginning to be a problem.
Correction: this has long been a problem.
As the days goes by,
more and more TV is scheduled with "reality" shows.
But shocking conclusion though:
These shows aren't reality anymore!
They are fabrication of what some people wish to be real.
They should no longer be called reality.
They should be called what they are.
People Acting Idiotic for the Camera shows
or PAIC shows for short. [pronounced pee-ah-ik]
Now..
Yes, I do watch these shows.
I'm not saying their bad, persay.
But they are a mockery of the human experience.
And that's why I watch them. Haha.
Word.
