Watching a stupid reality show called Beautiful People on Slice. I guess "advertising works" as they say, I've seen so many ads for it over the months I've finally broken down to watch it. I'm not a huge fan of "fake reality". Fake reality is when the participants are obviously acting a certain way for the cameras. Like when the two primaries of the show are walking through the Calgary airport and one guy is acting all surprised he is in Calgary. "Calgary? Calgary? You brought me to Calgary? What's in Calgary?" Um, you just spent 6 hours flying there, and you had to wait to get there to ask the question?

Or in any reality show, when one person has to call another for some reason, and there is a camera already stationed at the other end of the call. Sort of fake spontenaity.

Hey, ever see the show Extreme Home Makeover? When Ty shouts "Good morning Jones family!" from his megaphone, and they come running out acting all surprised (fully dressed, fully made up). Ummm, fell asleep in your jeans again? Of course, most people can't just take off for a weeks vacation from work on a moments notice either, so let's say they've had a few weeks or months notice the team was coming that day.

Anyways, Beautiful People? One of the fakest of the fake reality shows.
