Rocky reality tv

Gosh it’s so bad it’s good. It’s so ugly it’s cute (well I used to say that about pug dogs). Reality TV is a bit like that. You hate it, you love it, you just can’t decide. One minute you can’t take the madness, but you can’t turn it off either. It is trouble from the moment you switch the telly on. The more fights, the more bitching the bigger tears, the louder shouts, the ratings soar even higher, but we know that already. The question I had to ask myself the other day was— ‘How crazy can it actually get?’ And what brought that on at this late stage? A minute of the show Paris Hilton’s BFF —I mean really? How did anyone think of such a stupid and bizarre… did I say stupid already? concept. Ridiculous is what I thought, but I kept it on just to see what happened. Luckily it was the last episode the girls were dressed in a style that made them look nothing less than ridiculous and come before Paris, where the super star? I mean really what is it she does again? Star in reality porn? Anyways the heiress…threw a tantrum and later made a new bff at some random party. Friends have come and gone in her life like her first famous bff Nicole Ritchie, so this one is just a Queen of Sheeba version of A Simple Life where she calls the shots and is a mixture of naughty and nice.
Guess it shouldn’t be so weird considering people are choosing their bride and groom on reality tv as well. From Swayamavar, which admittedly I haven’t watched to the ‘Who wants to marry a multi-millionaire’ TV show. Are you kidding me? Who doesn’t? Only this time gold diggers are being applauded so they can come out in the open instead of shy away from being greedy. Imagine the guy or girl on that show not drawing up a pre-nup agreement before the wedding. “Honey don’t you believe I love you?” “D-u-h, of course I do?” I mean you think God favours any one individual that much that he’d give them true love and a multi-millionaire on a reality show, which is basically all about clambering all over each other for the prize? How is the most important relationship in your life going to be found in an overcrowded garage sale, where you can barely see more than the colour of the object and maybe a few designs — that’s what these shows are like.
I do think that you may come away from a show like ‘Biggest Loser’ or I’m a celebrity get me out of here’ or the Indian ‘iss jungle se mujhe bachaon’ but I mean not because it’s set up just because the circumstances bring you closer together, much like a group school project. And it is a bit amusing when Heidi and Spencer keep asking to get out of the ‘jungle’. Apparently Spencer believes he’s some sort of super celebrity — of The Hills? I mean come on and he even said that he expected the whole show to be a hoax and thought they'd actually live in a five star hotel! Hmmm and is he called the King of Reality TV then?
What about our favourite flop actress Shilpa Shetty who has reached number one because she was made to cry on reality TV years ago. London’s princess, from Karan Johar to Salman Kahn every one wants her on their show, she co-owns a cricket team AND most of all is engaged to someone with pots and pots of money and has reached a point where she doesn’t need to give a damn. Now that’s REALITY luck.
