Man did you see the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! What a disaster.
Taylor Armstrong is this skinny grifter who changed her name and spent all of her husbands money to the point where he killed himself. The first suicide caused by Reality TV!
Anyway last week they had a party where Taylor was being overly dramatic as usual and claiming everyone was against her and they should support her but not saying what was the matter. Well what she had told them off camera was that her husband was beating her! But they kinda didn't believe her because she never had a mark on her and because she seemed to push him around when they were together. If anything she looks like the abuser! Anyway Camille Grammer blurts out "Enough already. Stop it. You tell us he beats you. That he broke your jaw. And you want to keep it a secret."
You see Taylor was looking for an exit strategy. She wanted to leave her husband and move into one of the rich girls houses and sponge off of them. But they were pretty savvy and didn't go for it so she was getting progressively more desperate.
So they had another party at a beach house in Malibu. They have a party episode. I mean these broads don't work so they go to parties. Anyway Taylor was making a big deal about Camille how she couldn't see her and couldn't forgive here and what not. She made a big thing about it at the party. Well she didn't count on the minion and the sycophant. Camille has a minion named Dee Dee who wasn't going to let this POS paint her patron as a bad guy. She went after Taylor and they started screaming and fighting and pushing and shoving and what not. It was unbelievable. It was like the evil blogger lady when they are having a sale on Paul Masson. Not pretty.
Later she was on the talk show and told more lies. You have to laugh. Andy Cohen the douche who is the host couldn't ask her an honest question. Like "What's your real fuckin' name?""If you had a broken jaw was isn't there a police report or hospital records or something." It was just a joke.
In the end this reality show was just chock full of "Unreality" if that is a word. Very entertaining but stupid. Mindless entertainment that lets you feel so superior to people who are much richer than you are but live fucked up lives. I guess that is why this genre is dominating TV right now.
I wonder if they have room for more.

No, at least the second; there was that guy who put his gun in his mouth just before the cops stormed his house after "To Catch a Predator" caught him in a sting.
But isn't that a news show? I don't think of that as a candid reality show like Housewives or Survivor.
Meh. I don't know if I'd call it a news show when they create the news themselves, by engineering events that wouldn't happen without their own actions.
It's a spin-off from one of those news magazines, like Dateline or 20/20 or whichever, and it has the trappings of a news show.
Don't get me wrong, they did some good work by exposing scumbags; and it was mildly entertaining when Stone would read off the transcripts: "Studmuffin69: No, it won't hurt, I'll bring lots of looob."
"What's the duct tape and shovel for, Studmuffin?"
But there was enough bullshit there (people getting off with slaps on the wrist because much of what this show exposed turned out to be inadmissible in court, etc) that it qualifies in my mind as a dark, perverted cousin of Survivor.
Well maybe if they go to Penn State we can call it a sports show?

Broad experience might a consideration.
If I watch alot of this stuff ...will I go blind?

No, but you'll wish you were blind, and deaf, but only when the show is on.

Hard to get a good sample. TY seems to have managed to retain some perception, but most who watch have already lost vision.
