I love to watch TV. To name my favorite show would be impossible though. But my favorite genre would be Reality TV. I just love watching it. Its like it sucks me in and I cant stop watching it. I am always looking for what will happen next. Its interesting to look at someone else's life and realize that maybe yours isn't as messed up as you think. Or maybe you live vicariously through the people on the TV. Either way, its addicting.
I love to watch the MTV show The Hills. Every week I have to tune in to see what happens next. If I miss an episode I make sure I'm home to watch the re-run when it comes on. Now that I think about it, its kind of ridiculous. Or pathetic. But I have been watching the show since day one, and now 6 seasons later, its coming to an end. Now I have got to find a new show I guess. But I just love to see what goes on in these people's lives. And I love the drama. That is what brings me into it most. Because I love drama, as long as it doesn't have to do with me! I try to stay out of it in my own life. I also like to watch the dating reality shows like Flavor of Love, and Rock of Love, etc.
I know very well that reality television is fake. I hate to admit to it, but I do know that. It is very scripted in every way, yet it is played off to be real. What some people don't realize is that everything that happens on the shows are set up. I mean, come on. The people on The Hills live in LA. Of all the clubs that are in LA, how is it that the person they are having drama with is always showing up in the clubs they are at and "bumping into" them? Then a fight ensues. It just doesn't happen like that in real life. But that doesn't mean it isn't still entertaining!
One of the actresses on The Hills, Lauren Conrad, actually wrote a book called LA Candy that told what really goes on behind the scenes of the reality television business. It tells about how nothing is as it seems. Their wardrobe isn't even up to them. They have to dress accordingly to the microphone equipment they have to wear underneath their clothes. When they are shown walking into the club, they don't just walk in, they have to wait outside, get microphoned up, and then have to walk into a club to an area that is reserved for that specific scene where they are told what is about to happen and how to act. It is basically a regular TV show, that just claims to be reality.
But for whatever reason, I cant stop watching. I have become addicted to The Hills and what goes on. I am sad to know that they are no longer going to be doing any more seasons. I feel like I have been watching it for so long, that it'll be weird not knowing whats going on with the people on the show. But there will always be re-runs!
