ARE THE REALITY SHOWS WORTH WATCHING?

           Whether we realize it or not, reality television programs are growing in popularity day by day. But do the reality shows have the benefit of watching them? Are they really entertaining programs or are they just take time for nothing? I think they are not worth watching and I qualify them as 'time-killers'.

           I think it's wise to say that those kind of programs are just for making money, not for education or teaching people to be more mature and civilized. Well, they may be seen as if they were realistic but, in fact, they aren't at all. Some people who watch these programs think that they are realistic, but under no circumstances, they want to send their wives or husbands to such an island which is full of singles or a house which is full of snakes or insects.They are even much more unrealistic to me. For instance, The Temptation Island, let's begin with that show. I think that The Temptation Island isn't so tempting. 4 couples, 13 singles and the tropical island paradise. I admit, I watched the first episode after being coerced by friends that it was "so bad, it's great." After the first episode what did I learn from these intrepid couples: Nothing. The contestants were all acting like idiots, and expressing their 'fascinating' views about dating and love. And the second show: The Big Brother. It is such a stupid show that I don't even understand the point of this show. One word stupid, plus three words: WASTE OF TIME! Fear Factor is another show which is more realistic than the temptation island and the Big Brother. I also admit that I tried to watch its full season.One word: Yuck! Well, would you go on TV and eat bugs? Would you let a scorpion or a snake wander around in your clothes? I surely wouldn't! Not even for a million dollars! Some people think that these shows are the easy ways of getting money but after being so publicly disgraced, what's the use of the money? This show makes me get sick to my stomach and I want to throw up. How can anyone stand to watch even 2 minutes of this sickening vomitous show? The things they make, the contestants do is very disturbing and disgusting!

         In these shows, there are generally amazing big stunts, the tension between the contestants is big. They also talk each other down, as a part of the mindgame. . So what ultimately happens? Nothing. I still think that they are all foolish and give nothing to the viewer.

  1. Hi Emir,
    There are great ideas here but it is not written according to opinion paragraph organization. Am I right? Please try to add counter arguement and refutation in your paragraph. Also, I want to ask you what you mean when you said " as a part of mindgame". By the way, you can use internet as a source, I mean to get inforamtion, but try not to copy those ideas. Instead try paraphrasing. Okey? I hope you understand my concern.
    Best Regards,
    Gülsen
