I personally like watching reality television no matter what the actual content is I find most of the shows hilarious. It is really hard to believe there are actually behave in the manner that is portrayed. The drama shows to me are the best but I am also a fan the crime shows like Cops and First 48.  I think most of these shows are scripted and that people take few of them too seriously, Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo, for example is simply a show about a spoiled little girl and her family but some people read entirely too much into the show and want to criticize her mother’s parenting skills because of her children’s behavior. I think if more people were to view reality television as another form of entertainment and stop judging reality stars so harshly these people may not act out as much. These are people who are getting paid to let cameras follow them around just like an actor in a movie or non-reality shows and part of their behavior is due to the fact that the more viewers they have and the higher their ratings are the bigger their checks will be. They are similar to waitresses or car salesmen the nicer they are the more money they make, well it seems for reality stars the more drama they have or the dumber they are the more money they make. All in all I believe these people are getting paid to act some of them are just better at it than others.
