    I heard somewhere that the appeal of reality tv is that in it social norms negotiated. People always tend to “update” their understanding of what’s socially acceptable behavior and what is not. Reality tv to many people is just a means for them to rate what behavior is good and what’s bad. What they often dont unerstand, is the extent to which these shows are scripted and that the writers and media channels are the ones who predetermine the roles and morals.

    So what you percieve as “bad” about reality tv might be that the framework in which norms are being discussed is extremely flat and homogenous.

    Or in other words the characters and the writing just sucks.
