Despite the negatives, the speaker expresses their love for reality TV and the drama it brings. Hi, and welcome to Reality Tea TV, where I discuss all the tea on reality TV. My name is Brady, and today I'm going to be discussing some of the darkest aspects of several reality TV shows. I have spent many hours watching several different reality TV shows, and I have become an encyclopedia of random housewife drama and competition show people's names. I'll be mainly focusing on my three favorite reality TV shows, Survivor, Big Brother, and Real Housewives. To start off, Survivor. Survivor is a competition show that has between 16 to 20 people go on a remote part of a random island and have them use each other to survive. They have limited amounts of food and have to create their own shelters and keep their own fires. Then, they compete in a series of mental and physical challenges to compete for their safety in the game. Every three days, the group or groups of people will vote out one person out at a time. At the end of the game, people who have been voted out will vote for one of the final three survivors left to decide who wins $1,000,000. 1,000,000 big ones. The game is very strenuous, and it can be very damaging to the body. One of the most infamous people that embodies this is a man called Russell Hantz. He is known as one of the biggest survivor villains. Gah! He was an oil-rigged country man, and he is very impulsive and conniving. He was known for making everyone's life miserable. He would put out the fire every night as well as dump all the rice they had to make sure they stayed hungry. Many other players have used this strategy, and other survivors have lost up to 50 pounds because of the lack of food. As well with the lack of nutrients, the conditions can cause serious damages to the body. In Brains vs. Brawns vs. Beauty, the 32nd season of Survivor, there were four med evacuations that happened. Three very dangerous cuts and infections, and one person almost died from heat stroke. It is interesting to me how far people will go to try to win this show, and how they are willing to put themselves through so much pain to win. One million big ones. Another part of this game is it lives on making alliances and backstabbing and betraying the people you are working with. It is important to make sure that you do not destroy all your relationships, but also make sure you have basically made your mark in the game. This leads to the question of how a person does this without going overboard. Unfortunately, many of the times this game can bring out the worst in people. There have been several survivors who have used inhumane strategies to try to further the game. The one that stands out the most to me is what Jeff Varner did to Zeke Smith to try to save himself. Varner is one of the most loved players of Survivor, and he has become a very big role model for the game community. But in order to survive Game Changers, he was going to be voted out. So, he decided that he'd out Zeke as transgender as if he was hiding something. It was very difficult to watch, and it really shows the extent of what some people do to win one million dollars. Survivor is an amazing game, but a game made up of lying and betraying, it is inevitable that the worst of people are going to be shown. This competition show has given so many people a great platform, but several people have destroyed their reputations. Survivor is owned by CBS, and two other big shows are also owned by them as well, Big Brother and Amazing Race. Many of the people who compete in one will most likely compete in the other. As well, if CBS knows you are crazy, they will many times bring on another one of your family members. On Big Brother, which is basically Survivor, but make it 16 people in a house for 89 days and a lot more eating and tanning, it is a little more slay, I will must say. They had Russell Hance's brother, Willie Hance, come on the show to redeem their family name. Unfortunately though, Willie was kicked off the show because he physically assaulted another player. Their family name has been destroyed, and many of them do not speak with each other. On the topic of families being destroyed for the need for fame, at the extent of ruining a family, this can be seen in The Real Housewives. When you think about The Housewives, I'm sure you're thinking of rich women fighting and causing drama between each other. But it is more complex than that, and there is usually a big story of family drama, especially in Beverly Hills and New Jersey. In New Jersey, the self-declared queen, Teresa Gorga, and her brother, Joe Gorga, have been on the show together for 10 years. It is crazy to watch how much the show has destroyed their family's dynamic. It has always been a You Never Defend Me from Teresa, and Joe constantly feeling like he is never enough for her. It has come down to the fact that the two siblings, who have been so close for so long, have now been able to be in a room together without fighting and screaming and yelling. In Beverly Hills, this can also be seen with Kim Richards, Kyle Richards, and Kathy Richards, also known as Kathy Hilton. With this show, it has been seen time and time again that Bravo will bring out the things you do not want to be seen. For example, Jen Shaw and her scamming people, and now going to jail for seven years. But Kim Richards had a very intense drug addiction going on throughout the show, and you watch it derail. Due to the publicness and the way that Kyle, who is the one left on the show, handled all of this, the show has ruined both of her relationships with each one of her sisters, and none of them talk anymore. Another large aspect of the show is that many times you can see the behind the scenes of the show. It is what we call the fourth wall. The fourth wall is the difference between real life and the extra drama and storylines created by the producers. Many of the times, the housewives will not know the narrative that is trying to be portrayed. Most of the times when the housewives are getting what is called the villain edit, which is basically making you the villain of the season, they do not know until near the end of filming, which most of them flip out or have no clue and receive large amounts of hate. With all of this reality TV drama, it really leads you to think, is this all worth it? All the cheating, lying, manipulating, stealing, and all the background drama that you may not know and you can get a bad edit. With the constant hate online that you can receive, is it really worth it? Well, as a lover of reality TV, and a watcher, I say yes. I live for the drama, I live for the fun. Alright y'all, this is Brady, over and out. Hope you guys have an amazing day, night, or evening. Make sure to subscribe, and remember to give me a follow.
