I admit it. I held out a long time,then finally found myself liking a few of the reality shows. However I still maintain that 70% or higher of them are Tripe,pure and simple.   Aimed at appealing to the lowest common denominators. The most base and degrading sides of human nature. These shows are not designed to enrich our lives,teach us valuable lessons or even make us smile. They seem to be aimed at making us cringe,argue and whine. Trying to make others feel good by making some feel bad is a terrible standard to set for our kids.  I enjoy crasy fun loving compitition as much as the next person,but this ain't that! Thay are crude,mean spirited and many times just vicious for the sake of being so. We as Americans love compitition and that's rightfully so,we are good at it. But this isn't like that. Most realisty TV is just designs to shock and debase not just those competeing but those watching. Come on is this really and best we can do?
