What is a reality show...there is no such thing as a reality show...whats real is what we live through, not what we watch on the tv, what we watch on the tv is something masterminded, programmed, and altered to specific needs...the moment something is on the tv its not reality...it might reflect reality to some extent...but it is definately not reality...lets go down memory lane...WRESTLING...any one must have heard of it...when it was new...we all got so darn excited...maybe not the females but the males and the young ones...you would jump with joy, and cry if your superstar got beat up etc...wrestling was off the hook...now go back to it...everyone knows its fake, the people within the business admit its fake, and call it entertainment only...selling what people might like or do like...so sometimes selling what people hate...yes selling what people hate works too...its called reverse psychology...working with the human brain...ever seen that retarded commercial that you hate so much...ever notice thats the darn commercial you actually watch the most...and than somehow later on you get used to it, or dont mind it as much...ohhhh remember how cool magic tricks used to be...but darn we found out how they are done and it no longer excites us...but will catch attention now and than coz we used to love it once....or how about...ever like the retarded run-on-never-ending-soap-opera shows that are on the tv all time all year long...sorry not all year...all life long...you hate them, you know how pathetic they are...but at some time you get enticed and get hooked and start watching...sure giggle...but thats the reality...for example jassi jaisi koi nahin...how obvious it was that she needed a MAKEOVER...well it took the writing team of the show some 10000000 episodes to come across that...and we breathed finally...or some cried and wanted the ugly version back...enough of examples...back to reality shows...what you see on Indian idol or SRGMP or any other reality based show is simply orchestrated or edited...yes there is reality touch to it...like the better people failing out or taking hardships (THE POOJA's THE DEEPALI's etc good contestants getting voted out, over the rather weaker ones) how the lame or undeserving people make it to the top or too early to the top before their time...like SANDEEP ACHARYA over KARUNYA...now if the Indian idol gives so much damn about how they want the real talent to go onwards and win...well why dont they just have the judges pick out the contestants...how hard is that...or if u wanna look at it the other way...when u have rules casted in stone...why not live with them than cry to the public ohhh vote for talent vote for this vote for that...if u have given the janta the decision to make and if they make watever decision than atleast stop cussing out the janta and calling them idiots on every darn show...what sony or zee or any other channel displaing such non-sense called reality what they care about is the $$$ ... they can have the judges pick out the true talent...but what better than having janta VOTE (Pay for it and get called idiots) and earn in billions gazillions...and still give out a moocher of a winner...ofcourse they dont even tell you who got how many votes or who didnt...how do we know that what they tell that X contestant got kicked off was the truth and not the person they wanted to be kicked off...or thanked and had exited the stage...they bring up situations and dramatic features into the shows that will have the audience watch and VOTE more...or get pissed off coz their contestant isnt being treated properly and VOTE more, or get ticked that their contestant is still in danger zone even though performed really good...or to VOTE a contestant just to tick off others etc etc etc...its just about making the money...nothing but...
SO WHERE IS THE REALITY...
The contestants get rewarded in the fact that they come on the TV show, they come across the public...their aim is really not to win...its just to come across...and get known and have a fan base...so Deepali got kicked...you feel all misserable and terrified etc etc and will now do everything to buy that CD or whatever brand she becomes to promote...TADA job done for her...look at SUHIT...already doing commercials...he has it made big...already b4 the show that was supposed to make him big is even over...so thats the reality check of the reality shows...hope you liked what you read...forgive for the style (what style, lolz)...the run ons etc etc...
So is reality shows a reality...decide for yourself and if you may throw some props and discuss it out...and dont forget to watch your fav reality shows on their prompted times...lolz
