Reality TV Shows.....

While some of u might know the hills, the city & jersey shore & some of u might not know it. it is actually the reality TV Shows in MTV that is really doing so well & is much of a BUZZ in some countries. Now they are premiering the last season of the hills, the 2nd season of the city & the 2nd season of jersey shore.

The thing is these reality shows are really short & it takes 30 minutes (including commercial) to wrap up an episode. these reality TV stars are making big bucks & one of their most BUZZED star Lauren Conrad is making USD 125,000 per episode & imagine in one season she can easily fork up 2.5 million by just walking around, talking to friends, create drama, go to clubs, shopping & party. it just takes 5 minutes of your time in front of the camera to get that much of amount per episode.

Here in Malaysia there is so far no reality TV shows that actually records a person's daily life & what they actually do day by day. i guess no one would even watch & people would actually want their own privacy.PLUS, there is no way u could actually do things that would not be accepted by people in Malaysia. There is always a limit to things & there is quite a lot of rules to follow & u can't go beyond certain things. other reality TV shows such as American Idol, Akademi Fantasia, One In A Million & Dancing With The Stars are not reality shows where the contestants get paid because they are the one participating to get a shot in the Media Industry.

Surprisingly, these reality shows get a lot of money by the end of the season because this is where there is the voting system. "VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE" "DON'T LET THEM GET VOTED OUT TONIGHT" YADA YADA YADA. the amount of votes people actually make is surprisingly A LOT!!!! There was this particular reality show that was called LAGUNA BEACH which was the start of people getting ideas on how to create more reality shows because people actually watch these shows. American Idol & Akademi Fantasia has gone through more than 8 seasons & it is still the most BUZZED shows.

The Hills is the longest reality show running for about 6 seasons & this year will be the last season for The Hills because apparently some of the stars are actually pursuing their career with their own reality TV show. I consider these people LUCKY because u get paid a lot for just doing nothing much that is tiring but instead something that u enjoy doing everyday. While some people actually have to work their ass off for a lot of money. I guess that's how life is. Till then will update more interesting news & SCOOP of TV shows..
