Reality Check.. extreme makeover
So what would you see if you came into my apartment on a sunday, a teary-eyed 25yr male eating ice-cream watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition... its a heart warming show with such a positive message. You know I really dont understand why the rest of the networks dont get on the bandwagon and get rid of the Fear Factors bug eating overly endowed wannabe porn stars, Hiltons and other reality shows alike because these reality shows are not what this country needs and basically they SUCK. 16.5 million viewers last time I checked watch Extreme makeover on sundays, meanwhile these other networks scratch their heads and wonder why there ratings are plummeting and advertisers are not paying. Hmm... is it because your old school reality shows SUCK? Let's just take a look at the profitability vs cost and effectiveness equation for a sec. Something that a first grader could understand.
1. Reality show that are based on pointless competitions eating bugs and starving on deserted islands
Cost: not much, cheap to make
Advertiesing Dollars: getting worse, who wants to sponsor that crap
Effectiveness: They make most of us want to vomit. Fear factor depletes the amount of silicone left in the world... sorry if I offend but can they be a little less selective with their female contestants sometimes I think Ron Jeremy must be on staff
Vs.
2. Aspirational Reality shows like Extreme Makeover
Cost: ummm Donated goods by advertisers and viewers... plus lots of volunteers= not much maybe a little more than the alternative
Advertising Dollars: Well for one they get the most viewers on a sunday night... so lots of advertisers with deep pockets plus they donate things to the show for product placement and because of the shows format of making homes increases the production value... and a result more viewers cry from overwhelming extreme emotions and want to shop at sears. Oh yah by the way some needy family gets a home!!! and bugs dont have to die and no one vomits.
Effectiveness: Tuff one ha kids? so for the answer... Well I dont remember what they called it in math class because i never paid attention but its definitely off the scale. Everybody wins!!! the network the advertisers the people in the show and their families plus the viewers eat lots of Ben and Jerry's go to bed have sex and sleep well... jeez what a country this would be if only there were more shows like this.
So if any of you big wigs at the big network get around to opening your eyes and take in a little reality tv you might realize that its not even close to REAL. In reality people dont force themselves to eat bugs, starve themselves or shove there hands up a cows ass... I mean what kind of viewers do you think your attracting.. most likely ones whom your advertisers dont care to spend their money on. So on that note lets all hope that reality TV is gone forever and that more people can have fancy homes and have lots of great sex.
goodnight
Note: Network Share holders please consider me as the next big wig. I have a much better sense of reality. and your board of trusties need a Extreme makeover

hi jeff! kewl blog doll!
thank you for your comment on my photography blog! i truly have no idea what my camera is capable of, i just like taking pictures. i should be updating that blog link with fall pictures soon.
what a small world! i am origanally from m.a.- charlestown, medford, m.a.
2 kewl!!!
I gave up on Extreme Home Makeover. Every time that carpenter would cry - I'd just lose it. I don't have enough emotional strength to get through it every week.
And thanks for that nasty visual of the hand up the cow's ass... that surely must be a good time.
Thanks for checking out my blog - I enjoyed reading yours and left quite a few comments.
Hi Jeff, thanks for dropping by my blog.
I couldn't agree with you more about those sick fear factor,"bug eating" survivor reality shows. Its not about "courage or bravery" its more about ego and insecure stuff I feel. I think having and facing emotional courage is more what life is all about, not this nonsense phony baloney crap!..lol..I've only checked a few of those reality shows out and watched only one time or so to come to an understanding that "its sick ego,be on tv, humiliate yourself or the other person,make money, get back at the other guy and who loses in shame or wins in "sickness". I mean look at the country? Do some of us not act this way? Yes we do. And why would we? Because maybe "said" sick tv reality shows rub off on society and people really get off on all this crap. I haven't seen the extreme makeovers for homes for people, as I don't watch much tv. Its sounds like a more positive thing though. At first when you said "Extreme makeover" I thought you meant those stupid plastic surgery shows where people want to look like someone else rather than themselves..Yuck!..lol.
Habit for Humanity is very similiar to Extreme home makeover. Thats been going on for quite a while now its just not on tv.
Hope to see you again in the blog world!
With Angel Blessings,
Rhiannon
