Reality tv has its fans and critics and has since shows like 'Survivor' has made it prime time entertainment. It is all very similar no matter what show it is, a group of fairly diverse people are put into some sort of odd circumstance and feuds and friendships develop and drama ensues. This is all well and good as long as people keep paying attention.
The thing that caught my attention as I am a reality tv watcher on occasion is how well it captures some aspects of our culture. On two different occasions I have watched people have been voted off for being 'the biggest threat' aka hardest worker/best player. This perfectly portrays what happens in a real workplace. Instead of the hardest worker being praised, more often than not they are brought down but other clicks and stabbed in the back by various means. So, on a small scale, reality catches this aspect of our culture quite well. And I know what most will say...'it's just a game'....'I would for all that money' ...My only point is that we always speak of how we revere hard work, but the actions of our culture suggest otherwise.
