Fake Reality: Did You Fall For It?
c>log
Okay, if you haven't figured out by now, reality shows are fake. Totally fake. Scripted reality? Yep, the writers of "reality shows" are now demanding more money for their talents. These writers are insisting that "reality shows" abide by the Writers Guild contract guidelines. It was this Guild's strike in 1988 that caused the whole reality TV genre to happen upon us in the first place. And, this "reality show" plague is showing no signs of slowing with 21 new "reality shows" being readied for release in 2008.
"Reality show" producers are worrying that once audiences start believing the "realness" of these shows is less than "real" the ratings will fall. The writers are cleverly called "segment producers" and they write scripts called "paper cuts". The written lines are actually fed to the "reality show" participants in the various situations that the producers stage for the purpose of simulating "reality". Often, providing lots of alcohol helps to kick start the "reality."
"Reality starlets" from the MTV show "The Hills" have admitted that conversations are faked and dramatic situations are staged. One "reality show", "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila" is based on the premise that the star of the show, Tila Tequila, is a bi-sexual woman in search of true love. Truth be told, Tila Tequila is a heterosexual woman who is faking her bi-sexuality for the sake of creating this blatant sham on television. During the filming of the first season while she was supposedly looking for "true love", Tila actually was in an ongoing relationship with a man. Really sad, Tila, shame on you! We bet you'll pick a woman in season 2 just to make it seem "real" since you know we're on to your scam....

 |  | And, The Reality Is... The "reality shows" that engage in this television quackery are the shows that somehow involve celebrities or people who realize that instant fame may come with the territory. Both use "reality shows" as modern public relations tools to shape their public brand image. "Reality shows" are used to launch instant careers for the unfamous or to restart the careers of the infamous. The rip-off that has been perpetrated upon the viewers is Hollywood's version of lip-syncing...and, we all know lip-syncing is a crime, don't we? Always insist on authentic television programming for you and your family. Faking reality is a crime! |
