Nobody wants to see people driving to work, working, then driving back home. Perhaps the notion any one of us could be on screen beckons. Of course anyone on TV is a star. Being filmed while living on a remote island or in an apartment with strangers where the network pays your rent isn't reality, just a way to become famous. In actuality, it's a means to look moronic for the masses.
Reality TV sounds more interesting than reality, yet appears even more ridiculous.
If people didn't watch, the networks would quit endlessly copying and profiting from these formulas. They might actually try to air good TV shows. We need a better term for reality TV shows, a word that truly describes them. I advocate viewers to instead turn off their TVs and spend their time with friends and family, in true reality.
