Reality TV shows are honestly a guilty pleasure of mine. I don't watch much TV, but I can say that I have a fair share of shows that I enjoy watching such as The Real Housewives, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Duck Dynasty and I hate to admit it, but sometimes I will watch Teen Mom. I know that all these shows are scripted, but I thoroughly enjoy seeing these people try to act and then make a fool of themselves. Obviously, half the things that happen on these reality TV shows are beyond fake and scripted, which makes them hilarious. People are often talking about how they are offended by these shows and that I shouldn't support such things that teach the younger generation that sex, greed, partying, etc. is acceptable. No parent wants to see his or her son or daughter go absolutely wild on national television, but like I said before, I think it's hilarious. Mainly, because it's not me acting like a complete fool in front of half of America.
What I do think is kind of absurd, is the ridiculous amount of money that some of these people make per episode. I remember when I was a huge Jersey Shore fan; they were making about $100,000 an episode. Lets be real, any of us would go nuts on national TV for about 12-15 episodes if you were offered that much money for drinking, eating, sleeping and working in a T-shirt shop
