PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"On a serious note--Reality TV Stars Often Suffer Enduring Trauma" |
Reality TV Stars Often Suffer Enduring Traumahttp://www.thewrap.com/article/people-underestimate-how-much-stress-they-can-deal_3432?page=1 Some quotes: "Mental-health workers have discovered that often people who compete on shows like “Survivor” and “Big Brother” -- even those who win -- suffer severe and often long-lasting psychological trauma as a result."
"“Reality shows open wounds which no one can suture, so after your appearance, you’re left to bleed to death,” he said. “In effect, everyone who appears is thrown out of the lifeboat when their segment ends. “For everyone who appears -- winners and losers alike -- the lights go down, clinical issues remain."
" "Americans aren’t comfortable with ambiguity,” Dr. Jorga Leap, a professor of social welfare at UCLA, told TheWrap. “So, just like a dramatic series, the producers decide before taping who will wear the white hat and whom the black. The problem is, we all are made up of good and not so good qualities and the contestants don’t get to choose which qualities they want displayed to the audience." "
