We have all enjoyed watching reality shows whether its talent hunt or Adventure or plain fun based. The fervor with which the ardent fans fight for their favorites at times turns unpleasant .

So just wanted to "Why do reality based shows tend to bring out the fiend or ruffian in Us?" 😕

Where does the tolerance go? Why does it not elicit the good in Us? Why do we fight and argue in demeaning manner?

You know,sometimes I feel that if the despondency can arouse this much of indigntion,that over over just a reality show,Think as to how it'd be,if all the ire and resentment can be skewed in the "right" direction 😉 ..i.e. towards the politicians and the political system.......

People revolt when they favourites are ousted,they take umbrage if the judges are biased/say anything inappropriate....If only All this energy be devoted towards weeding out the evil in the country.....

Sports I understand its real action going on but the reality shows are just for entertainment and May be foreordained. But aren't we silent spectators so where does the verve come from?

POlitians as active participants are at their devious best. 😆

Yeah and that too when one has never met or known the person. to take up cudgels on their behalf & the concerned participant is unaware 😆

Very True in all this hoopla the fervent fans tear apart even the judges who at times are reprehensible of instigating the guileless public 😛 .

For annihilating evil, the great Indian mantra is "Praying" and letting God do His job 😆 . Why me worry? attitude.

I agree with you buffie.

I think division between two group always create rift. it's human behaviour. be it culture, country, language, religion, team, or a show. I think when you believe and support one team it is just hard to see other winning or anyone saying evil about other...and then when you have two team you have two group supporting each one and no one wants to feel they are looser or tolerate any negative of other...😕... i think its just human phsycology or ego to just belive their view are right. but its sad and naive to fight over 1. things that are not in your hands 2. you really don't know this opposite person personally 3. it's just a show!!
