So I stumbled upon an article about bad celebs on reality TV and read it. I guess this fits in this thread because reality TV is many things, including "silly" (ridiculous is more like it).
So I'm bringing it up on these forums because I just gotta say, reality TV is total trash and I can't believe many people watch it. Why to people want to see sad and pathetic people and/or scumbags mistreat people, screw up, fail at life, etc.? If you read the article, you'll see that everyone they talked about is 'a real winner' alright.

I think its purely "bread and circuses" ... a modern version of the Roman arena. It wasn't always gladiators, sometimes it was just the mentally ill or scapegoats getting eaten by tigers.
