Characterization

I agree that the RTV shows that I watch I feel for the characters. Usually by personal interviews where the people give their opinion about what is going on. Along with feeling for the characters, on most shows, there is also a person that you find not to like. I like watching the Real Housewives not only because I find the girls that I like, but also because there are some people that I don't like. While watching these shows you feel like you know these people and can almost predict their actions. (In contrast, Jersey Shore- you never know what they will do because they are crazy) In the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills I feel like there is a "script" to plot against Camille. Her actions have turned her into the person that no one likes on the show, but also now that she has emerged as this person, they show clips or show interviews that point out her flaws. Sometimes she makes bad decisions or is immature in situations and now the show is purposely going to take clips where she acts in this manner so viewers don't like her even more. There has to be some struggle or emotion to get viewers to watch. If all of the girls got along perfectly, it would not make for an interesting show.
