This should be noted

I'm going to get right to the point on this one.

I hate reality television. I feel as though there isn't one show of the genre I have ever seen that in any way shape or form was funny, enlightening, entertaining, or as some would say "worth a damn". I especially loathe the ones with contestants who are competing in a house for some sort of monetary prize. The whole concept drives me insane, "friends" forced to live together and describe their events to some camera man as if it happened days ago when in actuality it just happened 15 minutes prior. Imagine if every 45 minutes your boss made you come into the office to discuss, on camera, everything you had just done and what made you do it. No wonder these people are going crazy and bugging on each show, a lot of people don't know this, but they don't put tv's or radio's in those houses, thus forcing the people to interact more often, and thus create more "drama". 

Where in lies the drama of people sitting around voting one another out of a home, or eliminating each other for some random job, or the affection of some total stranger. Ohhh and don't even get me started on the shows that just follow someone (or a family) around, edit it, and call it a show. What in the damnit are doing here people? This is what most people would call being lazy, there are no plot lines to these shows, as we watch them go run errands and to the stores, shop with friends and buy things we could never afford, or break up with boyfriends, leave drunk messages, and gossip. When did we reach the point in which watching other people do nothing constitutes as actually doing something? 

That's all I wish to say on the topic, though I could add more it would progressively get angrier and the night is young so I'd rather not get all worked up over nothing...or something for that matter.
