Reality Check!!!

Some believe that the only reality in reality TV is behind the scene's and some just don't want to know if it's reality or not. I agree with both perspectives for multiple reasons. Over the years we all have experienced reality TV in large, medium, and small volumes, so it is safe to say that the dark cloud of it being fake looms over all our heads as we watch in amusement. Does it matter? I'll let you answer your own question. Coming home or to your comfort place after a long day of work, taking smug remarks from bosses, co-workers, or even friends everyone would love to have that escape. The escape from reality, the escape from the same world we run away from day after day. Sadly enough reality TV provides that medium for escape, it gives most that unparalleled sensation of, "wow that's embarrassing, I would cry if that happened to me," or "what is he/she going to do next? I better tune in next week." Last but not least, "I hate him/her, I wish he/she was off the show."
All these elements play a vital factor in viewers want to just be left alone and in tune with their favorite reality TV shows. It's more than proven that most people aren't happy with plain old life so it's nice to see life under a microscope. Tune in next week for what I have to blog about then.
