Reality TV paper

I thought that this paper was a lot harder to write than the last one. I think I mainly had trouble because I do not watch a lot of reality television in the first place. At first, I was going to write about how reality television was unrealistic, but I had a very hard time getting five pages out with the shows that I had chosen. I finally decided to write about how reality television is realistic in the cases of American Idol and Amazing Race. At first, I still had a lot of trouble writing five to six pages on this subject. Finally, I just started describing the shows in detail, and it slowly took off from there. I actually think that most reality television shows are unrealistic, but with American Idol and Amazing Race I found more reasons why they did show reality. With American Idol, I think the show is real because the audition process is similar to regular open casting calls in the real entertainment business. Also, the contestants have be a good singer to make if far in the competition. In Amazing Race, the contestants have to have strength, speed and intelligence to win the race. So I believe that both these shows represent many aspects of reality compared to a lot of other reality shows on television right now. Overall, I thought this paper was kind of difficult, and I definitely had to work a harder lot on this one than the last paper to make good. However, once I started getting my ideas out, it was much easier to bring everything together.
