Early reality TV was fine - whatever that has steamrolled into these day is an abomination.

It can be funny as like a case study in emotional manipulation by producers.

And then you realise people actually are gullible enough not to see through it and it's not funny anymore.

Yeah current reality is very unreal. Never been a fan myself but at least early stuff had some true trash at its heart instead of the probably scripted junk and attention removed now.

Early reality TV gave us greats like our secretary of transportation.
