1.) What reality tv has turned into over the years is probably the worst thing ever. Back in the day (like 5 years ago), there was a "reality" show called fear that was crazy. im not sure if it actually was reality but it doesnt matter. it was a good show. now i turn on the tv and i see this dumb stuff like teenage kids living in california. i dont need other peoples drama in my life. get out of here. if i want to watch teenagers cheat on each other and get into ridiculous fights i will just go to a local high school. why must people insist on watching things like this? so that they can be happy that they are not that stupid and boring? i guess so.
2.) The comparison of reality TV and Professional Wrestling is not one that I would make myself for the sole reason that wrestling is performed by actors. Wrestlers who are rivals on the show do not necessarily hate each other offstage. Reality TV makes real grudges and real rivals. Although this sounds like it would be more interesting, it is not. I find people's scripted lines and actions are much more enjoyable to watch than real ones. Anyway, if one was to say that reality TV is the equivalent of Professional Wrestling, they would be referring to the fact that reality TV simply provides entertainment just as wrestling does. I wouldn't say reality TV really fulfills any psychological or social needs of an average person. I guess for someone who depends on other people's lives whom they have never met, it might play some role in their needs. Although, maybe in the the position of one of those housewives who has nothing else really to do besides watch reality tv and then discuss it with her other boring housewife friends, reality tv could serve as a perfect topic for discussion at their daily 3 hour brunch.
