Reality television shows have become a normal part of American viewing in the 21st century. The plots of these shows range from talent
searches to simply following the day-to-day activities of certain individuals and their families. It is no wonder, then, that now there exist celebrities
who are famous for being, well, famous. A question that is often on viewers' minds, however, is whether the show they are viewing is in fact real or
scripted or a mixture of both. Although we may never know for certain what is "real" and what is not, it is certain that Americans continue to love and
follow the public lives of some very flamboyant people! I, for one, do not care for reality television.
