Before pandemic without restrictions or lockdowns, I rarely paid any attention to the rabbit hole that is reality television. I had watched a few episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, very early on, in 2009 or 2010 and decided it was not for me, but every now and then read about them and admired their brilliant marketing and public relations’ strategies. However, since the lockdowns and restrictions, it is a whole new world and clearly, I am living a different life, wherein reality television makes up a big portion of my source of entertainment besides news about protests by anti-vaxxers, I must admit anti-vaxxers protesting and shouting “Freedom” is the funniest thing that one could ever watch. Anyway, coming back to the topic at hand, reality television, no doubt it is soul sucking, but very addictive at the same time.Two years ago, had someone told me that I would one day watch shows like Shahs of Sunset, Million Dollar Listings New York, Los Angeles, Married to Medicine, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, New York, New Jersey, Atlanta and not to forget Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, I would have thought that that someone was either insane or was on the verge of insanity, but here I am, amidst a pandemic, watching all these shows on a repeat on my tablet, whilst the news plays on TV. I am sure it is an open secret that these shows may or may not be staged, I am not saying these are scripted shows, but more like staged, where the cast mates are pushed to go in a certain direction by their producers, in order to produce enticing content and to hook the audience in on their drama. Also, can we be honest and talk about the lifestyle that is shown in these “reality” shows? The costumes, the mansions, the dinners, the shopping sprees, the parties, the cars, are you kidding me? I do not and cannot believe that this is their real life!
