That's... Reality TV
Welcome to That’s Entertainment with No, Not Them — today we’re talking reality TV… the only genre where ruining your life can lead to a spin-off.
Reality TV has given us so much. Survivor taught us you can betray your closest ally for a million dollars. The Bachelor taught us you can get engaged after three helicopter rides. And Big Brother taught us… never trust anyone who says, “I’m just being honest.”
The highs? Reality TV made ordinary people famous.
The lows? Some of those people are still famous.
Then there’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians — a show that somehow turned “let’s film lunch” into a media empire. That’s not reality TV, that’s witchcraft.
And I love competition shows. On Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay can call someone an idiot between appetizers. On The Real Housewives, someone can flip a table before dessert. And on Love Is Blind, people get engaged through a wall — which, to be fair, is still better communication than most couples.
And every reality show has the same lie:
“This is not why I came here.”
Really? Because nobody goes on The Bachelor for the quiet reflection.
Reality TV has taught us three things:
Never form an alliance on Survivor.
Never go to dinner on Real Housewives.
And if someone on Big Brother says, “Can we talk?” …you’re already evicted.
Today Myself my incredible co-host Mike Nichols — no not that one — celebrate the highs, the lows, and the beautiful fact that somewhere right now, someone is crying on Love Island because Chad kissed Madison during a challenge involving whipped cream.
And somehow… that’s entertainment.
