Hey everyone!
Today the show I'm going to review is Catfish: The T.V. Show. As we all know, social media bring people from all over the world together. The only problem is that you never know if the person on the other side of the computer screen is telling the truth.
For those of you that don't know anything about the show it is about people meeting their online lover for the first time. The hosts Nev and Max receive emails from people explaining their love for the person on the other side of the computer screen. They also find out why the two online lovers haven't meet which can range anywhere from distance, money, or health problems. Nev and Max then look into seeing if the person they have been talking to is indeed the person that they said they were. When Nev and Max search the person they find that the person hadn't been truthful. Then Max and Nev arrange for the online lovers to meet.
Catfish isn't scripted because the person asking for Nev and Max's help are truly invested in the online relationship. When they meet the person that isn't who they said they were you can see pure devastation. I personally find watching Catfish addicting because I'm amazed by how easily people lie to someone they "care" about. The show makes me realize that it's important to be careful online even if the person online says they care about you.
If you haven't seen the show Catfish stop what you are doing and check out a few episodes at http://www.mtv.com/shows/catfish/video.jhtml?filter=fulleps.
Have a great day!

Toddlers and Tiaras: Who wants the crown?
Today the show I'm going to talk about is TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras. The show is about children that enter a beauty pageant where they are being judged on there personality, beauty and outfit. The children will spend hours practicing their routine, being in the hair salon, making sure they have the perfect costume that will win over the judges.
The children do become competitive about winning the pageant but not as much as the parents. The parents will spend hundreds of dollars for their child to stand out and win the competition. The parents get so caught winning they lose sight of their child's happiness and just focus on their own happiness.
The parents also spoil the children which then causes them to throw temper tantrums when events don't go the way they wanted them. The children aren't the only ones that cause a seen at the pageants. When parents feel like their child is being picked on or not given a fair score they to will cause commotion with either the judges or another adult.
I personally don't think that Toddlers and Tiaras is scripted because the show will follow a couple girls through the pageant process and sometime the ones that they follow don't win. Another reason I think it isn't scripted is because sometimes the children say things to the camera that their parents might not like.
I watch Toddlers and Tiaras when my family is watching it but I don't go out of my way to watch it. I don't enjoy watching the children throw temper tantrums every 10 minutes because they didn't get what they wanted. You might have a different opinion about the show and if you have never seen it I recommend watching an episode. The show plays every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. on TLC.

Baby Momma Drama
Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!
Today, I'm going to talk about the controversial show Teen Mom. Teen Mom is about teenager girls' lives before and after they has the baby. It shows the real life difficulties teen moms have to go through such as school, work, and relationships. I personally have a love/hate relationship for the show Teen Mom. I like it when the moms and their boyfriends work out and have the family they wanted. Although, most of the time there isn't a happy ending. They have an after the show where most of the moms are left to take care of the child by their self. I don't believe Teen Mom is scripted because the struggles they face everyday are normal for a mother. The struggles they face are anywhere from trying to fit school into their busy schedule to financial needs. There are adults that think Teen Mom glamorizes teen pregnancy by making them realty T.V. stars but I would have to disagree. The many tears that fall from the girls' eye every episode makes you realize that your life can be flipped upside down because of one decision. Keep that in mind! If you're interesting in watching the third season of Teen Mom it's on every Monday night on MTV at 9 o'clock.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette: True Love?
Hey Everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day! The Reality T.V. show that I am going to be The Bachelor/Bachelorette.
For those who don't know The Bachelor/Bachelorette is about one lucky bachelor or bachelorette getting to travel around the world with 25 single contestants. There are at least two contestants that are sent home every week until the bachelor/bachelorette finds their one true love. I personally don't think that The Bachelor/Bachelorette is scripted. Now, there are critics that say it's all fake because ABC creates an unrealistic atmosphere. For example, the bachelor/bachelorette will go on two one-on-one dates and one group date every week. The dates they go on range from making a music video with Soulja Boy to a private concert by Darius Rucker. The contestants also live in a house together which can cause tension/drama therefore getting more viewers. The atmosphere isn't realistic but I do believe the connections that the contestants and bachelor/bachelorette have on the show are real. I also believe that ABC casts controversial people every season to get more viewers and publicity which is smart move on ABC's part. For example, on Sean Lowe's season of the Bachelor/Bachelorette Tiara LiCausi was the mean girl in the house that would cause drama with the rest of the girls. I provided a link below to give you a look at the drama she created in the house.
If you are a sucker for some funny unscripted entertainment and a happy ending then the Bachelor/Bachelorette is the perfect show for you! When a new season starts it will be aired every Monday at 7 p.m. If you need someone to watch it with I'm your girl!
