this is the reason i don't watch reality tv. it goes way too far. and i'm half expecting the day someone is going to get injured or even die in one of the more action-packed reality tv shows like fear factor.
what we do for entertainment these days.
if you think about it, shows such are these are like psychological experiments gone haywire. you are given a situation and a setting and told to behave in a way that will get you 'the girl'. in psychology, this is called debriefing. but when you don't get the whole information, it is also called misinformed consent. i think it pushes some ethical questions and reality tv is one of the most unethical things out there today.
