Watching "reality" TV is making me ill. I do not watch lots of it, but what I have seen is breaking my heart.
Is it a contest? Is it a game show? Have we commodified it to the point of using it to sell ad space in two minute increments?
Love stories are compelling. "Love stories" coupled with 15 minutes of media attentiom are not.

The two reality shows I watch and enjoy are Top Chef and Project Runway. Still, I can do without all the drama. Sure it's a competition, but why does it seem that every season, someone is set up as the 'bad guy' (or girl)? I want to see creative competition, not cutthroat!
I'm sure it's the same way on the 'romantic' reality shows. Sometimes I wonder how much of it truly is 'reality.'
