I Like RTV Because It's Real?
I'm sure that some people do watch RTV shows to see themselves in some sort of new light, but i know that I watch RTV purely for entertainment purposes. When I watch Top Gear I do not watch it to see myself as an old out of shape englishmen who knows a lot about cars. I watch it for entertainment and to learn more about cars and the magnificent things they are able to do. When I watch Jersey Shore I don't watch it to see myself as a tanned up juice head gorilla Guido. I watch it to laugh at how pathetic and ridiculous those people act and what they believe real life is. I doubt that people seriously can say they watch shows to see themselves in certain characters. RTV should be for entertainment purposes, but I think people take it a little far when saying that it is more than just someone watching a character make a fool of themselves on national tv.

I agree 100 percent on the watching purely for entertainment purposes. I do not relate myself with Bear on Man vs. Wild, I just think it is awesome that a guy drinks his own urine, wrestles alligators,eats doo doo, and all other kinds of crazy shat. He is awesome, and the only thing I can relate to is how awesome he is.
I agree with what you said. We watch these shows for entertainment purposes. Not because we can relate. These shows make us laugh and quite possibly make us feel better about ourselves by looking at the ignorance of others, but we never can really be in their shoes.
I agree. I personally watch RTV for fun. I like to watch Bear Grylls do crazy things to survive, and learn how to do what he does if I am ever in his situation.
