freewrite week 6 day 3


I’m totally addicted to reality TV.  I have been for years.  My interests have changed in the shows I watch.  I was big into survivor when it first started based just on the fact I loved the idea of it all.  Then I just stopped watching because it was more staged then real.  I never ever got into the bachelor.  Call me crazy but I could just tell how ridiculous the idea was to find true love on reality TV.  After so many years of reality shows I think it is proven to split more couples up then keep them together.  I was so excited when Jessica Simpson and Nick Lache’ split up.  I called it years before it happened.  I love reality cooking shows and music shows.  I gave up on American Idol after the fifth season I think.  I just couldn’t take it anymore.  To me even now the talent on their show is more like a bad talent show compared to the voice or the X factor.  With all the judges changing places on American Idol you would think that it only has a couple years left anyways.  Or one could hope.  It’s not my proudest moment to admit my love for everything Jersey shore but I got addicted early when it came out.  It was like having a second family who was crazy and filled with drama.  I even watch Jwoww and Snooki show where she just had her baby.  I like the fact that they have changed so much in five years.  I’m still holding out for Ron and Sam to have a Jersey Shore wedding.  It seems that we are only years away from a Blade Runner situation or a Hunger Games.  Watching peoples pain will someday be normal.  Reality TV already shows us people’s emotional pain and sometimes even verbal abuse.  Hell’s kitchen would be a great example.  It almost makes it even more addicting to watch Chef Ramsee torture and abuse the contestants.  Then there are shows like ridiculousness that show internet clips of people getting hurt.  It reminds me of the show Jack Ass that causes so much controversy when it first appeared.  If it came out now it wouldn’t be that big of a deal.  Crazy to think how used to things we become that we don’t care anymore.
