I have a clip from the show that you can click on, its on the left hand side of the page.
I have to say the characters that I responded to the most would be Robert and Scott because they were the most entertaining out of the group. The entire episode all they were doing was drinking excessively which created an interesting environment. I think what makes this show and other shows like it alluring is because it feeds our unconscious need to know other peoples personal lives. Why do we go on that girls facebook page from high school who you never really talked to and look at all of her drunk pictures? Is it because you want to be her friend or is it because it proves to be entertaining. Personally these reality shows show me how not to act in certain situations. Jersey shore has taught me that I will look absolutely ridiculous if I go out and drink to excess and take 5 guys home with me or start screaming at some guy in a bar. I mean, yeah, its a waste of time to watch, and I bet I could name 10 other things that I should be doing but its entertainment. Its my form of entertainment. Some people are entertained by gardening or reading a book. This happens to be mine. I realize that because i'm watching it, I am provoking these people to do dumb stuff but that is their choice. We are not forcing them to sign another contract for another show. They do it for the money. We do stuff for money, sometimes we lower ourselves just for a pay check. They may lower themselves to look stupid on TV for a paycheck. They are ACTORS. We pay 10$ to go see ACTORS in a movie. Why is it such a big deal to stay at home and watch them on your TV for free.
I love Keeping Up With The Kardashians and agree that Rob and Scott are the two most entertaining characters. I also agree that the reason we watch these shows is to see into people's personal lives. It is maybe just a girl thing but we are addicted to drama and personally I love to constantly know what is going on in other people's lives.
ReplyDeletePersonally not a fan of all that craziness. Do you think that rather people like yourself finding it funny and glad you’re not that people get ideas from it and act that way? Do you think this is good for our society? Should there be some sensory of this stuff? Think about that Housewife husband that killed himself recently.. Do you think it had anything to do with the reality show? Makes you think … Great dig in on why you like it … but I still don’t get it ;) !!!
ReplyDeleteI want to start by saying if they are "actors" why arent they ACTING? If its called reality TV shouldn't they be behaving naturally? Also i might have to add i HATE the Kardashians and their show. They dont realize how many little girls look up to them and like Kim they set an example that its okay to marry someone after a month of dating, then divorce them weeks later. Our country already has an epidemic of divorce, they do not help the cause whatsoever, in fact THEY PROMOTE IT! My major issue is that why cant people watch NATGEO or WILD and learn about the environment, sciences, or TRUE REALITY.
