I never got around to watching any of the last season of Survivor episodes but have them recorded so I can watch when I can. But, I tried to watch the first episode of this season and found myself scratching my head as to how inane that stupid show has become. It is so predictable and scripted that I can’t believe the producers could possibly think we believe any of that is real. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Although I’m finding that is happening with most of the reality shows these days. I used to enjoy Dance Moms (pretty much for it’s “train wreck” value but did like to see the girls dancing) but now that has become nothing but an hour-long screaming match between supposedly mature, grown women while their poor impressionable children watch on. Nobody acts like that in real life, heck, not even trailer trash is that bad. In fact, some of these shows are beginning to make Jerry Springer look like high-class entertainment. Is the lure of money so great as to make these people stoop to such horrible behavior and portray themselves as they do?
seems to be the more outrageous, the better. I can only imagine producers pushing their “stars” toward more loud and brash behavior. It has become so the expected norm that obviously there is no shame or guilt on the part of participants. Also they all tell you they don’t act that way in real life. I draw the line with that one Dance Mom striking Abby. I know how tempting it must be to whack the over the top Lee but I can’t believe that perpetrator being the one pressing charges. I see the charge has now been dropped.
No wonder kids are so out of control, when they see these interactions.
Yes, money is a draw but I think “fame” even more so. What’s the sayiing about any attention is good, even negative attention?
