Shite...I forgot we had this post about CHRACTERIZATION
So characterization... it is the selling point of most shows. There is always the person who has witty remarks, the smart ass. There is always the bully.There is always the whore that makes me wonder,"why is she a whore...I would never poke her...not even on Facebook." The repetition is to help sell my point that these characters are stock aka stereotypes. People eat this crap up. They love conflict between the quiet, self-imploding person and the obnoxious, muscle bound prick. They are going to root for the underdog, nobody likes the prick. Everybody in someway or another can relate to at least one of the characters (ever wonder why there always at least 8 people on the show?).

I forgot too :) haha
But you make a good point! If you compare multiple different reality shows, you can match up the different characters almost perfectly to eachother and what they add to the show. They really are "stock" to these reality show producers.
I agree a alot of people like to watch conflict between two different types of people. The characters that are made in these shows all fit a certain stereotype.
