Blog Entry 11:CAT-W Practice 3 Revision

         Timothy Sexton's article "The Dangers of Reality TV" talks about the negative ideas of reality TV.Making reality TV be competitive,entertaining,and have no education is the best way to describe what reality TV is as a whole.According to the article,the reason that education isn't something reality TV use is because "education was completely unnecessary to fulfill the American dream.
         I agree with the ideas that Sexton says in  the article,in fact,I believe reality TV is the saddest excuse for entertainment I've ever seen and I wish reality TV shows were canceled.The fact that people in reality TV shows  compete for money, or to go out with a person is why I hate reality TV with all my heart.There are 2 factors that always get people to participate and compete in reality TV shows,and they're money and fame.Participants want money that comes from the shows prizes and want fame just for the fact that they're on TV and want to get some recognition for personal gain.
          One example for gaining money in reality TV is Fear Factor because Fear Factor gives away cash prizes in a competition for doing certain stunts that range from eating bugs/appendages to standing on top of trucks, convayerbelts,and boats.An example for gaining a boyfriend/girlfriend would be girls competing in  Flavor of Love,or guys competing in I Love NewYork reality TV shows.The personal gains in Fear Factor is money,while in Flavor of love and I Love NewYork would be the boyfriend/girlfriend and fame that comes with participating in the shows.The fact that all these shows are categorized as entertainment in every cable company in America shows how little education has an influence.
          The fact that your doing dangerous and stupid stunts in reality TV shows that my claim and Sexton's claim are completely true.People should focus on education to get their brains more active than on reality TV thats making the population stupider.I honestly hope that reality TV will no longer exist in the future.
