The 'Shows' in Reality Shows
I used to hate watching any reality show. I thought they were all just a means of money making, hitting the highest viewing rate, and perhaps also earning lots of money if there were any mobile phone voting system involved: Survivor, American Idol, American Next Top Model, Runway Project, Singapore Idol, Malaysian Idol, Super Star Project, just to name a few.
Well...I still think it's business tactic, maybe not quite a tactic, but technique or idea. Yes sure, generating revenues is important, and suspecting oftentimes those 'real' people (participants) might have been guilty of putting up some sort of actings to make the whole show looks more 'saleable'.
Somehow, some times, somewhere...I started watching one out of boredom, and my stereotype has changed. I started to watch those shows from a different perspective. I am not a fanatic of reality show, well...not yet, at least. I think the participants have got so much for me to learn from.
I don't think I am qualified to make any judgement of these people, neither do I have the rights to criticize their doings or acts. However, I totally admire them.
First, for their bravery to stand up in the public, putting themselves in front of so many people, the 'them' in 'reality'. Of course I have to admit that some people might really go out there to put up a show, while others have more 'sacred' ambitions.
Secondly, they all have decided to give themselves a chance to prove that they are capable of dreaming, competent to be who they want to me.
Last but not least, they are continuously so determined and persistant in what they do. They have faith in themselves, they are all out for their dreams, dreams that they wouldn't have known could be realised, if they had not given themselves the very first step to get started. They believe in themselves, when many others have mocked them down. They have to go through a long, yet not easy journey in those competitions, and for this, I think they deserve our respects :)
