Worthy Characters?

The characters on most reality TV shows are characters that in real life would not be the most popular people in the room. It seems that the most popular reality TV stars are the stars that like to cause drams which is not appretiated in real life. In Jersey Shore most of the characters i think were chosen on purpose because of the kind of personality that they carry, which is perfect for the show. For 16 & pregnant, they have to choose pregnant girls and the characters differ from person to person. Shows like wipeout choose clumsy people, while shows such as gladiator choose strong and athletic people. So it jus depends from show to show what kind of characters they contain.

Good post! Different reality shows do call for different characters. BTW Wipeout is the most hilarious reality show on tv.

So true! but dont you think that the caracters on Jersey Shore dont have crazy personalities? I think sometimes characters fit roles to look good for TV.

I definitely agree with you. The characters in all of those shows are picked out just so there will be drama and comedy which to the producers means more viewers and money. And money is the sole focus for what the producers are making these shows for.
