Dear editor.

You have most likely watched a reality TV show once or twice, and maybe even without knowing it. The majority of our group thinks that reality TV shows are TOTAL rubbish. In some shows, they can possibly rig challenges; like Minute To Win It or in others they could show you just a handful of things that really happened.

Have you ever noticed that the camera just so happens to always be where the people are, specifically Mantracker. The camera is always on him, or the prey. Weird eh! Also, computer editing has also come to mind. When they blur out the swearing, they obviously have to go back and edit the show, to copy that out; but what if they edit more than just that.. The reality in TV shows, could be played.. The people know that they are on camera every second of the show.. Why would they start drama, when they know that it would give them a bad reputation, to the viewers of this show.

Imagine being a parent of someone, who is on the show, who's acting pathetic. On Jersey Shore, they all hook up with random people, act immature, and get completely smashed all the time! What are their parents are thinking when they see that. Would you act like that or differently than normal in front of a camera that was shown to millions of people? None of us would because we fell that it is could get humiliating and bad for a reputation. We wonder what they act like behind the scenes, normal.. or the same?

So after reading this, what do you think about Reality TV shows? Do you think that they rig challenges or situations, or edit it so that it looks like something that it really isn't. We truly believe that reality television could easily be rubbish. The next time you watch a reality TV show, we encouage you to try and find moments that could appear different than they really are.
