Rules of reality TV
You know how the first rule of fight club is that you don’t talk about fight club? Well the first rule of reality TV is that you don’t mention that you are on reality TV. Yes, you are supposed to be real. You are supposed to tell us what it is like to live with a house of strangers. You are supposed to dip into the wine refrigerators. You are supposed to tell us about your past. You are supposed to tell us who you think is the spy or who you want to hook up with. You can even tell us that you are freaking out & hate being in whatever city the show takes place.
You can’t tell us that you hate it because the lights are always on or you are never alone because camera people are basically stalking you. On several reality shows I’ve watched people crack up because of the noise or the lights or the cameras in their face, but they can’t talk about it. How real is that?
