Mini Project One (I am a little behind): Alex Schultheis

Although we may not like to admit it I think we all are secretly wishing to be on a reality show. I think the idea of reality television is a little cheesy and a tad overdone; however, I do believe that reality TV has made people famous and will continue to make people famous, and fame is something that I do not think anyone would turn down.
The first person I asked this question to was my roommate. She, like me, is a reality TV junkie. She agreed with me that she thinks anyone would absolutely jump at the chance to be on a reality TV show, she did; however, say that she would personally not like the attention and the social stigma that is attached to reality TV stars.
When posing this question to my sister Amanda, a cynic of reality television, she said that she would never even think of ever going on a reality TV show. Amanda thinks that the people that go on reality television are desperate and have no right to become the superstars that they are today. Although Amanda does not hold reality TV in the highest regard she did say that she thought the average person in their 20’s would want to be on a reality show, especially one on MTV such as the Real World
The third and final person that I asked this question to was a girl I sit next to in my advertising class. She also agreed with my roommate and I that anyone would love to have the chance to be on reality television. She said that she personally would love to go on one, and in fact has tried to appear on one herself.
Reality TV, with all of its flaws, is still a very popular medium in our society today and the people on reality TV shows are just as popular. Although many of us would like to think that we would never go on a reality show I think that if the opportunity arose not one of us would turn it down!
