"Professional" RTV stars?
Initially, no person on a reality show is professional. Actually, I don't really think they ever become "professionals" per say. I think that they just become better at giving producers what they want. Initially they are chosen through a series or interviews and audition tapes etc. but of course that doesn't necessarily mean that the contestant is going to act how they want them to on the actual show. Once they "prove themselves entertaining" other producers and show inventors see that and want them. Having a person from a previous show also usually boosts ratings since people that are attracted from the contestant from the previous show tend to follow the contestant wherever they go. This is also why people who want to become actors or singers come onto these shows: to get the exposure. I don't really follow RTV so I'm not sure of other instances where the "stars" transferred to another show. But all in all I don't think anyone can technically be considered professional, only good at being on the shows.

I completely agree with what you said. If veiwers liked Kate on Jon and Kate Plus 8, they probably followed her to Dancing with the Stars. Producers do this to get more viewers and therefore more money. It's all a numbers game. If the character is getting paid enough, they will participate in a show and then the show will generate more revenue.
AGREE^ these people are only entertaining and if a producer or director sees something that him or her like then they can make a career out of nothing for these want to bees. As long as they are comfortable with making a fool of themselves, and are making the creators money then they will keep being allowed to do what they want to do.
