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.
I am the first to admit that there are “reality shows” that I enjoy. Many of which you listed (except The Bachelor....). Also, are Dem’s afraid of ghost??? Just curious.
I guess my point is, her show is a “personal” reality show that depicts “A day in my shoes”. Those are the types of shows that have been so abused over the years that the majority of people cringe when they see them. That is why the shows you listed have become more popular and are taken far more seriously than the “about me” shows. Networks saw that the “personal” reality shows had become obtuse caricature of themselves that they moved to a more productive style of show.
If Bristol Palin was to do a show about the pressures of being a teenager, mistakes that are made including her own, and how to avoid these mistakes, she would be taken far more seriously. Watching her move to L.A. to live with a young couple, move back to Alaska, and her daily life thrown in has no redeeming value.
I hope you realize that I have not once trashed her nor will I. I truly feel that this could be a real error in her judgement and may do more damage than good.
That being said, what article did you get that information on? I’m really curious why Dem’s are afraid of ghost. I’m sitting in a hotel room and for some reason that just has me cracking up!
