In the flood of reality television shows, I watch very few. I mean it. The only ones that hold my interest at all are the historical reenactment ones. The general theme of them is a bunch of people try to live like people did in a particular time and place. They tend to be non-competitive, none of the office politicking that is the hallmark of most reality television. They also tend to be non-stop whinefests, with people bitching as soon as they're asked to do something besides dress up. Needlepoint? Too oppressive.
I want to know why the people making these shows don't kick out anybody who starts whining. The participants all volunteered, and if they can't handle the social etiquette or labors required of whatever they volunteered for, they should be given the boot. If I wanted to hear someone whine about how getting what they asked for is unfair, I'll go listen to the damned french.
Goe, wants more surreality television.
