THE 'REALITY' SHOWS

If you have a cable connection at home and if you turn on any channel(especially on weekends) you will find an idiotic show,as i call them what is referred to as the reality shows.The most famous channels like sony,star or zee are conducting indian idol,saregamapa,big boss to name a few..

'REALITY SHOW' means showing the real performance on the screen.It involves various actvities like singing,dancing etc.But for that real performance they have to practice a lot.!!!how funny na....??!!

However may be the show,we thimk that their main aim is to entertain people.Of course,the people will be attracted towards it and some tv bugs will surely watch it for a whole weekend...!!!indeed its entertaining and not a worse way to pass the time.(even my mom watches it in the weekends..but not the whole day for sure...!!!).


But do you know the real aim behind all these stuff..?As far as the channels are concernedthey will find a good way to increase their TRP's and popularity.And the popularity of the program is measured on the basis of no.of commercial breaks in between,the stage setting ,the hostsand the judges.Nowadays it has become a fashion to invite a celebrity to host the program or to judge it.The main profit to the channels comes when the public is asked to vote for their favourite contestants through SMS.The people will go mad and keep sending the messages loosing their money.At the end of the day the channel and mobile companies bag the profit.

Now as far as compititors are concerned ,they have to stay there itself(i mean studio) leaving all other worksof them,irrespective of the outcome at the end of the day.

I am not watching it regularly,still when I had been to my home on a holiday for a week I was forced to watch them because of a news channel.They were showing the 'real'ity of those shows.There I came to know about many things.
*As we know Urmila Matondkar is a famous bollywood star. She is hosting one of this types of show in a private channel.The program was based on the bomb blasts in Mumbai. There a lady was offered Rs.50,000/- to tell in the media that how her husband was died in the blast and a masala mixed miserable story.But actually her husband had died due to some other reason and there was no bomb blast near their place only.!!!

*Some other channel was conducting a dance show for the intercaste lovers.And when a pair was eliminated they revealed the truth that they were not at all loving each other,they just needed a platform.C guyz,they play even with the love,a purest thing.
So all these tempted me to watch them once in weekends for timepass and fun.Thereafter after he 1st commercial break itself I found one contestant commenting on the other and some other pulling his compitiitor by holding his neck ! I was in a dilemma whether it was a tv show or boxing on the screens?!(The latter one is better).Some other channel was showing a show hosted one of the famous bollywood star where the conestants are made to do some breathtaking action and in the same show one person was fighting between life and death.And the most ugly shows according to me maybe the one where many people are made to live in a house for seveal weeks and eliminate one of them every week.Even one of our famous bollywood star had won it in abroad only because of sympothy over racism.!!
When a show is going on judges assure some contestants of giving them a brake in the next movie or something.And some of the contestants may have come because of someone's influence and we may not be knowing about many real hidden tallents.We should think of them rather than the on-screen drama.

Thus these reality shows are the 'damn' shows as I feel .I won't say that all of these are bad.You may find a couple of good ones also.But you know all these drama contains many bollywood or small screen actors,and they know how to make the reel things look real.So don't just believe on what is going on the screen.Try to think beyond your limits and find the truth.Even if I say so,at the end of the day people will be addicted to it.
According to one survey within the year 2010,70% of the channel programs will be these crap shows.!!World won't change suddenly.It needs some time to turn its track.Till then dancing,singing drama chaltha rahega and SMS mania bhee nahi badlega..!!
