Again, like my earlier post said, I will agree to a point.

DWTS didn’t buy Bristol a home. She won an amount in a game show and used the money she won to buy a house. There was no guarantee that by going on the show she would be given that money.

My point on the complaining is, if you open the door by doing a “reality show”, you are also opening the door to many consequences. In general, Reality TV is not taken seriously. Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons of Kiss, the Khardasian’s, Octo-Mom and many others have torn that wall completely down. It’s dead media. Ridicule will come from every direction warranted or not. When you put yourself in that position and then complain about the LSM and their coverage of you and/or your family, it loses credibility.

I think she is better suited to writing books, running her blog, and making appearances on shows where she can actually get her points across to a mature audience.

Of course I meant that her earnings from the show bought her the house, she came in third and made a princely sum.

There is nothing wrong with “reality” TV, it comes in all forms, just like “sitcom” or “drama” or today “cartoon”, it doesn’t mean only goofy or silly, or sinful.

Here is part of an article:
Conservative Republicans like more reality TV than liberals

But conservative Republicans love all kinds of reality TV, as about half of their top 25 shows are reality TV. They include, in order of popularity, Swamp Loggers, Top Shot, The Bachelor, Mythbusters, Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy, American Pickers, Swamp People, Top Gear, Pawn Stars, The Biggest Loser, Dancing with the Stars’ results show, Man vs. Wild, and Auction Kings.

The least-favorite shows of Republicans include Jersey Shore and Bridezillas, while Democrats dislike Swamp Loggers, Dog the Bounty Hunter, The Ultimate Fighter, Kitchen Nightmares, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, and The Haunted.
