Journal 2

As a frequent reality show viewer, I have mixed emotions about it. Even though it may be fun to watch, it may not be the best thing. However, it still pulls me in. As a teenager, I find myself watching many different reality shows, and having different opinions. My first opinion is that the name is contradictory. Even though it’s categorized as “reality”, it’s pretty fake to me. I believe that the actors get paid millions of dollars to act like fools on national television. Don’t get me wrong, it makes it all the more intriguing. I applaud Mary Ellis-Bunim and Jonathan Murray. Inventing reality shows was a million dollar idea, and is good in many ways, as well as bad. Reality television has a bad impact on people my age, as well as older people. It doesn’t deliver the right message, and tells viewers that it’s okay to embarrass yourself. Just like video games have an impact, reality television does too. The reason I watch reality shows is to merely get entertainment, even though at time it upsets me to the point where I throw my remote. To each his own, because we all have our own opinion on reality TV. There are many different things to look at when considering one’s opinion on reality TV. It helps to pass time, and get a good laugh when you really need it. It inspires, but it also may bring one down in the worst way.
