What is with these reality shows!

Reality Shows seem to have become the norm of the day. From people being trapped in a house, to getting laser hair removal derby, every channel that one comes across, has it own set of reality shows, which they claim is different from the other. But in reality, all reality shows look and sound the same. Their only aim is to bore the audience with their crazy and foolish antics. Whether it is Simon Cowell scorning at someone for his out of tune nasal singing in American Idol or Celebrity Chef Gordon Brown swearing at someone for over cooking the chicken in Hell’s Kitchen, it is all the same.

Reality shows started off as a unique and entertaining concept but dragged onto the height and depth of boredom. The shows have reached their saturation point and finally the audience refuses to take anymore nonsense. It is fine to give away a few million bucks to someone for answering questions and then even make a movie based on the same concept and sweep away accolades and awards from the highest authority, but not fine to make someone consume raw ostrich eggs (Where are the PETA guys?).

The people responsible for conceptualizing such shows seem to have gone on a permanent vacation and the trashy ideas coming out of their messy brains seem to be never ending. The only thing good about such shows is that anybody can be a reality star. What one needs to do is just gain entry into one of these shows and perform some acts that are deemed unacceptable by society or in some cases narrate you sad family story to the audience and gain the nation’s support. Voila, you are already a star! In this world of reality shows, even your pet lizard can be the next reality star. Nevertheless, we still continue to watch these stinking reality shows with much admiration.
