Reality TV

Perhaps one day someone will explain to me why Reality TV seems anything but real. What seems to me as the obvious realities....people's pain, depression and suffering...largely go unnoticed on Big Brother and Australia's Biggest Loser... though they are no doubt one of the many sub-texts of what is going on.
The latest cavortings in the BB Brother household expose a degree of manipulation of people's most sensitive feelings. Is this "reality"? maybe it is. maybe the reality is that we couldn't care less about people's feelings...only ratings!
