The new millennium rolled around and TV producers thought it was time for something new and exciting in television. The idea of “reality TV” caught on quickly. Reality-based shows have made their appearance with full force this year. “Survivor,” “Big Brother,” “Temptation Island” and “The Mole” have taken their place alongside sitcoms on almost every station. Viewers like the “real thing.” However, have these shows gotten out of hand? Reality based TV show are so popular because they grab audiences attention by eating weird food, hurting themselves and other, and even causing relationship problems because of a one night stand. A slight few of the reality-based television shows are innocent enough. On “The Mole,” for instance, the characters actually treat the show the way it should be treated – like a game. The TV show “The Mole” is a TV show about people tr

ying to catch someone stealing from them by placing cameras around the house and watching them steal. Then they ask them to appear on “The Mole” and see if the person that committed the crime will actually admit or deny doing what they did. In addition, “Pop Stars,” although quite superficial, does not place its contestants in such dangerous situations as surviving alligators and poisonous spiders in the wild. “Pop Star,” another popular TV show because they get live people that think they have a talent in singing and have them perform in front of judges and also in front of a group of audience. They perform a song that a singer has already preformed and see how they do and are judged. After they sing the judges judge them and if they do well them move on to the next round if they do not do well then they are cut from the show. At the end, there are four people left the best performance gets his or her song put on a CD and more then likely get to be on a talk show.

Producers put safety and morals in jeopardy in order to add tension and intrigue to a television show. Hours of the tapings are edited to give one character the image of a loudmouth and another seem like a troublemaker. Not to mention, these players know they’re being filmed. Who honestly acts the same way on television as they do when they’re home alone? The participants may not be acting, but can we really say that what we are viewing is real?
