Then their are shows like "The Kardashians", that make us so green with envy, I'm often mistaken for the Grinch while watching it. We're all curious to see what the lifestyles of the rich and the famous entail. We watch to eyeball the foreign cars they drive, what designer clothes they wear, and the gourmet foods they eat, not neccesarily because we can relate with them, most of us don't have the wealth to do so.

How am I supposed to relate, to someone with eight kids?
I'm not sure I can make a connection with a show that features a mother scrambling to corral all eight of her children, when I'm a just your average, run-of-the-mill 19 year old kid. If for any reason at all, I believe we sit down and stomach outrageous reality shows like "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" simply because of the pity we have for the laborious lives of the parents. It may be tough to admit, but watching Kate hustle to change 3 or 4 diapers, cook a pasta dinner, and bathe her kids all simultaneously, ultimately, makes us feel better about how we live our own lives.

so true pedro. I agree with you 110%
I completely agree with you that a lot of people watch the "glamourous" reality tv shows out of envy and jealousy. People wish that they can drive expensive cars and buy whatever they want without a care in the world. Some people might even try to mimic the people on these shoes and live their lives through the characters.
