We all know what "Reality TV" is, but one thing we don't all know is why it is. That is just a question that's going to have to remain unanswered. Supposedly, networks say, they bring in high ratings (which is pretty much all networks care about these days anyway, right?). So it seems that so many people are watching these "Reality TV" shows, but why? These shows are just stupid.

Survivor may have been ok at one time, but now, it's pathetic. A few Mondays ago, they had an episode where I watched contestants drink cow's blood. Supposedly this is part of African culture. However, that's not a part of American culture. I am sure that African natives don't just sit around drinking cow's blood for the fun of it (whatever fun it may bring is seriously unknown to me). I'm sure that African natives do it as part of some kind of tribal religious ceremony. However, the "Survivor" contestants weren't having one of those ceremonies.

The point of this little contest was to see who could drink it. What does that show? How does drinking cow's blood make you any more of a survivor than anyone else? I guess maybe if it was survival of the stupidest then I could understand, but it's not like that. Drinking blood doesn't make you any more fit to survive than drinking water.

Also, aren't we sick enough of all the bickering going on? All they do is argue and moan and whine and complain about everyone. Don't we have enough of that in our own lives? And I swear one old guy is a racist and we don't need any of that either. So why are so many people watching these shows? I don't know, but I guess when you're bored enough you'll watch anything that comes on TV.
