The “Reality” on Dating Shows

There has been an ongoing craze on the whole reality television dating show thing. We have seen so many of these shows, with most of the relationships not working out, from major networks with shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, to VH1 that has shows such as The Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and I Love New York, then we can’t forget about some of MTV’s contributions of Tila Tequila and That’s Amore. I think these shows are very unrealistic, but at times entertaining, while still disturbing, especially in the case of the ones from MTV and VH1, where there are pretty extreme and ridiculous contests or games for the contestants to compete for a date in. I’d say it is especially strange since a lot of these shows are back for more seasons like Flavor Flav is on his third season on of Flavor of Love. Then not only was I Love New York on for two seasons, but New York, who was looking for love in all these male contestants, was previously on the show Flavor of Love. I really don’t think these type of shows will stop being aired for a while, because there are always people who will watch them strictly to be entertained and then again who will want to go on the show solely to be on television.
