Reality television shows has become more popular on television than any other type of shows, and people keep signing up for these shows just for money. I agree with Timothy Sexton when he states that the “most dangerous message these shows send is that education is unnecessary to fulfill a dream”.Who doesn’t want quick and easy money?

Everyone loves money, especially when all you have to do is compete and for this reason more and more people keep signing up for these reality shows therefore they can have money in a  quicker way, but what they don’t realize is that these kind of shows are setting them on shame. Most of these shows make fun of the people in it and they don’t really care, all they care about is making their money and get over it as quick as possible. Competition might be the key to success but only when people compete towards something that makes sense to compete over. In my opinion most of these reality shows are not even real, they just try to consume the viewer’s time and brain wash them with nonsense. In order to achieve something you must work hard but people don’t believe in working hard anymore, what’s more devastating is that these shows are mostly viewed by the younger generation.

To be honest I am the kind to sit and watch show’s like these, but once I’m done watching them I feel as if it was pointless to watch it, but I can’t imagine how the people who are involved  in these shows must feel knowing that all they’re doing is seeking for fame and money but at the same time they’re just making a fool of themselves. There’s a show called “Love Games” and they compete with one another for money, but all the things they do is shameless, they argue, they hit eachother on national tv and the types of competition they do is beyond discusting.To me these shows shouldn’t even be on t.v where is so easy for kids to find them and get the impression that that’s the right thing to do. It is upsetting to watch these people compete for money this way but what’s even more upsetting is that most of these people don’t even have a college degree. As Sexton states ”Why go to school and face difficulties of learning something when you can just get on Fear Factor eat bugs and walk away with a bucket of money?” unfortunately some people just think this way and go for it but don’t even think “how about if I lose? ” What will happen after my time is done in this show?.
 

In conclusion people are just being obsessive with these reality shows not caring if they’re making a fool out of themselves, all they look for is the fame and money they’re offering. Society is learning from an image they shouldn’t learn from even if you do walk out with a couple of thousands I don’t think it is worth it, after all what will happen if you spent all that money Would the person go and compete once again and make a fool out of them one more time? some people do whatever it takes to have easy money but don't pay attention at the consequences this will bring to them .
