That's the truth, isn't it? The majority of reality tv stars go on to pain and heartache. The first family that allowed a camera into their homes, the Loud family, remember them? It was a groundbreaking show on PBS...the AMERICAN FAMILY. A upper middle class family started off good and then it all came falling down...the son came out of the closet on TV..(Which was scandalous in the 1970's) and the couple ended up getting divorced.

Why anyone would allow cameras into their homes boggles my mind.

I actually have a friend who signed up for a TVland reality show. She said she had no idea how bad it was going to be and now she wants out and it's hard.

My sister in law auditioned for one of those reality shows. My sister in law is a lunatic. (And a rabid liberal.)

I've read that most people featured on reality shows later regret having been on the show, with one exception: The Amazing Race. Apparently, the typical reaction is "I wanna do it again!".

It's also the only reality show I really enjoy watching.
