            Reality television has exploded over the past few years and has people worldwide begging for more with each new hit show!  Survivor, American Idol, Real World, The Bachelor, and The Bachelorette are some very popular examples of reality television. 

            Some of the people that enter to get on reality television are plain and simply looking for fame.  Like being on television is an instant head start in the entertainment industry.  Sometimes, this is the case.  But more likely than not the most of the people who participate are a one hit wonder and then disappear from the spotlight for the remainder of their “entertainment” career. 

            Depending on ones’ viewer experience preference, reality television can be enjoyable, but as with anything…there is some terrible reality television shows!  The newest one I have seen is “South Beach Tow”.  I personally enjoy reality television, but only when it is or seems like it is actually reality.  “South Beach Tow” is one of the worst, most set up reality television I have ever witnessed. 

            Reality television continues to grow and grow.  It seems as if every week there is a new show coming out.  Some will prosper, like “Big Brother” or “Survivor” and others will dwindle off, but everyone knows…America loves watching drama.  Real life drama for that matter, so it seems as if we will all have to deal with reality television for a long while!
