When I come home from a long day at school, I usually just plop down on the couch and look for something to watch. After changing the channel a hundred times, I end up watching the reality show network. Bad Girls Club or Hell’s Kitchen, for me, are the top two reality shows to watch.

For anyone who hasn’t seen these shows, they are both extremely dramatic.

Hell’s Kitchen is a show about a few people who move into, well, Hell’s Kitchen and compete to be the executive chef of one of Chef Ramsey’s top restaurants.

I have thought about being a professional chef for a long time and winning an executive spot in a top restaurant would be a pretty awesome achievement, but Hell’s Kitchen made me realize how stressful it actually is. Whether it is dealing with employees who do not listen, or having a head chef who yells at you constantly, it doesn’t seem like very much fun. If you haven’t seen any of Ramsey’s shows before, you probably have no idea how many times he drops the f-bomb during his show. To him, the f-word is like saying “you’re stupid”. Stupid is not the nicest word, but I think it is way better than using “You fat worthless cow!” which is a sentence he uses a lot. I do not know how you would feel about it, but I know I wouldn’t really like being called worthless. Though Ramsey has the vocabulary of a sailor, I think he is an amazing cook that a lot of people look up to and hope to work for.

Bad Girls Club, if you have not already seen the twenty billion commercials, is about a bunch of supposedly “bad” girls who they put in one house together.

I think they move them into one house just to see how many fights they can stir up with each other. I have always hated drama. When I saw anything that resembled drama, I usually ran the other way because I saw how much it hurt those around me; it‘s not good for anyone. It’s middle school all over again, one second they are all friends, and then it flips, and they hate each other.  I think it is pretty hilarious seeing how dramatic and careless these girls actually act on TV. Do they know it will be seen by everyone in America? And the answer to that, in my mind, is yes. They act like crazed middle-schoolers just for attention they couldn’t get anywhere else but the show.

In my opinion these shows are just there if nothing else is on TV, but if they are your favorites, kudos to you. It’s not that I hate these shows or anything. I actually think these shows are pretty amusing. It’s just that reality shows, no matter how funny, are always going to be the shows everyone knows to be completely unrealistic.
