Reality TV shows are now more about self esteem than anything else. Some shows build people's self esteem while others tear them down.
Beauty and the Geek was a show produced by Ashton Kutcher and on this show he took geeky boys and matched them with beautiful girls. This show helped both the sexes. It gave the guys confidence to talk to a beautiful girl while it showed the girls that there is more to a person besides looks and glamour. This show was entertaining because the geeks were teaching the girls about love and the girls were teaching the geeks about love and together they developed a new kind of love.
On the other hand there are those shows that kill self esteem. Big Brother is one of the most ridiculous shows that I have ever seen. I embarassingly admit that I watched the first season of that show but that was it for me. The people on this show are very immature. I feel like they are always out to get each other and will do anything to win in the end. Its a like Survivor but people tear each down more in this show. Making others feel like they are less than yourself is tearing down self esteem. And that is the definition of Big Brother.
I enjoyed the show Beauty and the Geek. And honestly, I never did understand Big Brother. It's kind of creepy to think your every move is watched.
ReplyDeleteI've honestly never seen either of these shows, but personally they don't seem like anything I'd want to watch. I feel bad watching people's real lives on tv.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't watch BATG when it was on, I wasn't able to get the station at the time. Though it seemed very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have never watched any of these shows but I don't think they are good for self esteem or good in general! oh what the world has come to.
ReplyDeleteI've never watched these either. Not really interested in things like those shows
