Reality Television as escapism <3

article image placeholderMeet the Cast of 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 3
I love to just turn on the TV and not have to think about anything and watch people fall in love or play crazy games to win some money. So what are your favorite reality TV shows? My favorites are probably Love Island, Too Hot to Handle, and I'll the Great British Baking Show. I know that's like, off brand, but there we go. So what are yours

I just felt like I had to comment on this just because talking about reality, reality, reality, reality television as escapism, ultimate was the great during the start of the pandemic, was watching the Greek, like, British Bake Off. And it's funny because I think that we always try to justify reality TV to ourselves. I remember when I first started watching reality TV, I was just like, oh, it's a documentary. I'm just learning that life

It's something that I connect with on a deeply human level in a way that gets me to escape, and I think it's very refreshing. But lately and this is just a funny answer, I've been watching a ton of Pawn Stars on the History Channel. First of all, I think that vintage goods and historical memorabilia. I really love all of that stuff, and I collect some of it myself, but I just think it's so kooky and wacky

I love watching updates of like, wow, did they really last or was it for the screen? And I get to do my own little conspiracy theory. It's probably all wrong and I should not be pushing these opinions or about anything because I don't really know what's happening. But it's kind of fun. It's like my own little world that I like mapped out. Yeah

I love reality tv!

Also on Bravo. I really recommend watching Summer House. That's a really interesting one. Vanderpump Rules. It's about this woman who was on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She owns these restaurants. She has this really attractive staff. They all live in La. Anyways, there's a lot of drama. It's really good. Or just the classic. Some of my faves are Real Housewives of like, Beverly Hills or Real Housewives of New Jersey. Any of them

Justice stoked the fire of this conversation. I was wondering if anybody would want to reply on this, but do you think that the Kardashians were the original form of escapism
