Reality TV

Keeping up with the Kardashians - An episode about Chloe dating.
Chloe, Kim, & Kourtney are all sisters. Chloe is the youngest and she looks different than her sisters. She’s taller and bigger. Kim and Kourtney both have boyfriends and they want Chloe to have one too. Kim and Kourtney get on a dating website and make a profile for Chloe. The next day they get on and she had 99 “winks,” which is like a poke on facebook, meaning that the person is interested. Chloe’s sisters set her up on blind dates and none of them were successful. Chloe thinks that her sisters are annoying so to get them off her case she says that she’s going out with one of the guys, but really Chloe just goes out to dinner with her girlfriends. She gets satisfaction out of lying to her sisters. Us as viewers, watch the show because it would be nice if we were Kim Kardashian. We could be drop dead gorgeous, own range rovers, and have a dream wedding. Kim Kardashian’s dream wedding episode got sky high ratings, even though her marriage only lasted 72 days. Some say the wedding was just a joke. However, it is intriguing for girls to watch this show because we can keep up on the latest fashions. Also every girl dreams of their wedding day, so we all loved watching Kim’s wedding. We support these programs and play in “the games” by simply viewing the show and giving it ratings that keep it on the air. We also support them by buying the products such as perfume, clothes, and jewelry that they come out with. I enjoyed watching this show because it was filled with drama. I think that’s why we are so interested in reality TV. We can watch the drama nationwide, and then talk about it with our friends. We don’t like drama when it is involved with our lives though. That’s what makes it addicting to watch, drama happening to other people.

  1. I saw an interview with Kim that said she recorded her wedding because us as viewers have been with her through so many things in her life, and she did not want to disappoint any of her viewers by not putting her wedding on TV. I thought it was very nice of her to think that way, but she should feel as though she can have privacy if she wants it. It must hurt even more to have such a tragic event (divorce) being subject to the public's opinion. But I guess after a while you develop a tough skin to outsider's judgment.

  2. You're absolutely right, we love drama when it is happening to other people. It's kind of sad, isn't it? I was actually sad when I heard about the Kardashian divorce. Mainly because people were being so mean about it. My thoughts: she's only human, her "fans" need to give her a break.
