The reality of Reality TV is that most of it’s fake.
Yah, this is going to sound hater-ish, but take “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.” Who is Tila Tequila? How did she get so famous? No doubt she has had the most friends on Myspace and had the #1 downloaded music video on iTunes the day it released (of course, all she does in the video is dance around in underwear), but why is she MTV’s biggest thing right now? Is it because she was really a frustrated “bisexual” who wanted to find true love so she and her peeps went to MTV to pitch a show? Or perhaps somebody at MTV knew who she was (via Myspace fame) and thought they could profit off of her (which they did…6.2 million viewers and all)? I really don’t know who approached who with the show, but I do know from an inside source that Tila had a boyfriend before and during the production of “A Shot at Love.” And now after Googling it a bit, I see other sources saying the same thing. The NY Post has even called her a “closet straight.” Bah, I can’t believe there’s going to be a 2nd season… *sigh*…MTV, MTV…you just keep going more and more downhill.

Sometimes I feel like Reality TV is a reflection of how crappy and shallow our society has become.
