Relating to RTV
For the most part, I really cant relate to characters in rtv. The majority of them live some extravagent lifestyle or are always in some extreme, over the top situation and that is nothing like my life. The main thing that keeps us entertained in the show is the characters and their antics, but also how likeable they are. No one wants to watch a show where they hate all of the people, the actors are what draw the people in. Then other rtv shows like Pimp My Ride draw people in because they are cool. It shows us something that we will probably never have or experience.

I agree that character interaction and their antics is what keeps people watching reality TV shows, but I don't agree with the fact that all reality tv stars are likeable. I feel like a lot of shows with the most drama, such as Jersey Shore, are the most viewed because of the tension that goes on in the house and all the fights. People love to hate characters and see what they are going to do next.
I agree that most of the characters in reality tv live a rich and luxurious lifestyle because it doesn't relate to my life either. I think there is always going to be likeable characters on every reality show.
I definitely agree with you. Watching shows with these outlandish characters who I find myself to be nothing alike at times, but yet I still find myself watching the show all the time. I also agree with how we watch things because they are cool and may be something we will never experience, we basically enjoy watching other people get things we would die to have.
