In reality television many people start to become
celebrities. They start to create an image for themselves that viewers either
like, or don’t like. Although Celebrities can be heroes, heroes are not always
celebrities. Reality television can easily mislead viewers making the viewers
think that the people on the show are genuine. The people on reality television
are not there to be heroes, but to show viewers that some people can and cannot
relate to others because they live differently. Reality television is intended
to inform people but instead it is becoming entertainment where viewers can
start to emulate the “celebrities,” and gain feelings and empathy for the
people on television.
In the reality show, The Housewives of New Jersey, viewers start to pick sides when the
people are fighting on this show. The viewers are not getting all the
information but from them choosing a side can create more controversy for the
show. Twitter has become a factor in creating more conflict because these icons
on television are allowing the public to see and comment on their profile on
the social network. Since viewers pick sides, with out knowing all the
information as to why Celebrities may act or do certain things, the viewers may
start to attack the show and the people on them. Because of the lack of
information given to the public, the public is mislead and starts to interact
with the lives of the people on the show. Because the people on the show are in
the public eye they have to form an image for themselves, especially if they
have businesses. This is how they become celebrities.
There is no Hero in the Housewives shows, but there
are heroes in other shows that provide informative information as well as a
strong individual. It is insightful to realize that not all people on reality
television are being “real.” The women on the Housewives shows are not heroes just
because they are celebrities. They do not create a truthful character for
someone to look up to.
