HOW REAL ARE REALITY TV SHOWS?


This you can bet is a burning question on most viewers' minds when they are glued to their Tv sets watching any program on the growing list of "Reality Shows". How real can a recorded program that is not on live tv be? This is especially about the ones that focus on "private" lives of 'celebs'. From "Keeping up with the Kardashians" to "Ice loves Coco" to "The Girls of the Playboy mansion" etc the list is growing by the day. One wonders why one should spend one's very precious time watching a program that is not in the least educative or informing? You only get to see the 'actors' go shopping, make their hair, choose a new home, decide which city to move to, have arguments or agreements with their spouses, cry, laugh, sleep, eat, go to parties, go for photo shoots etc.  Where then lies the value of watching these programs?  And to think that these programs are on PAY TV! They  should be on FREE TO AIR if you ask me!

Well if you want my candid opinion I think these shows are to say the least a colossal waste of time and money. They are also very fake and should not be termed as reality tv shows. I would prefer shows like "The Survivor", "The Amazing Race" and "The American Idol" any day to the ones earlier mentioned and their likes.

And so it was with some amusement I watched one of Nollywood's actresses, Omotola, try to copy "Kimora" (or is it "Kim"?) with her "REAL ME" show. And what a poor copier she turned out to be! You could see from her narratives, forced smiles and laughter that the whole things screams FAKE!  I guess in her own case what could be interesting and considered real to some extent is to take the viewers into her home and the Egbeda (or is it Idimu?) environs instead of hotels and nice places she visits.

Or what do you guys think?

  6. of course like your website but you need to test
    the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and
