REALITY TV: LOVE/DATING SHOWS
These things are soooooooooo contradictory. It really messes with my mind. These shows are all about finding love. They all have it in their titles! For example "Flavor of LOVE," "I LOVE New York," "Rock of LOVE," "Real Chance of LOVE," "Daisy of LOVE." But is the goal of these shows really LOVE? Sometimes, I really wonder if people even know what they're saying. I hate that every single "reunion special" ends in "yeah, we're gonna see what happens." or "I think you made the wrong choice." Yeah, these shows are fun to watch and they've put some people on the map, but the ultimate goal, is quite fercocked. While I do believe that you can't just sit on your butt and hope your soul mate is gonna land in your lap, going out with 20 dudes and/or girls (Tila Tequila) at the same time is not a great idea. I think that people should put themselves out there, not out in t.v. land. Who knows? Maybe I'm just sad because everytime a show is over, I think to myself "Man, I really hope this one works out." I really miss those days where people just looked into each others eyes, and they were soul mates forever. Good times.
