Reality shows

Reality shows can be something so addicting. Something you sometimes can’t stop watching because they are so interesting and fun to watch. Like many people I am someone who watches reality shows most of the time when I’m watching television. Some of my favorite reality shows are Keeping up with the Kardashians, Khloe and Lamar, Mrs. Eastwood and Company, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, The Real World, The Challenge and True Life to name a few. What I like about these shows is that I get to see how cool the lives of people with money are. I also get to see the cool cars they drive, the nice big houses they have, where they go and get their clothes. I also get to see all the places they go to. Another thing I like about reality shows is watching all those rich stuck up people complain about all the problems they have, when in reality their problems are nothing compare to the problems normal people have. I also enjoy watching reality shows because when I’m watching them I can imagine how amazing my life would be if I had all those cars and all that money.

            In my opinion I don’t think reality shows are harming to our society. I know most of the reality shows are based on sex, drugs, and alcohol but just because all that is on television doesn’t mean people have the right to go out and do all that stuff just because it’s on television. I know seeing it on television and seeing them have so much fun can be tempting to some people but it doesn’t mean they can do it just because people on television do it. Personally I believe that people do what they want to do, and if they really don’t want to do something they won’t do it no matter how much they see it on television. Most people watch reality shows not to be like them and do the things they do. But they watch them to waste their time or to avoid doing something else. Most people who watch reality shows don’t watch them to learn from all the things, they watch them because they are fun and interesting to watch. Some are addicting to watch as well. Once you start watching them it’s really hard to stop watching them and do something else or even watch something else. Watching reality shows is a guilty pleasure for me. I enjoy watching them and they have something that hooks you up and makes you watch them nonstop. I watch them when I have things to do and I make television be my excuse to not do what I’m supposed to do. I do try to avoid watching reality shows when I have homework or something important to do, but sometimes once I start watching reality shows it’s really hard for me to stop and focus completely on the homework. People who make the reality shows make them so intense and they leave you desperately hoping to see what will happen on the next  episode.
