5. The Bad Girls Club


I used to think that movie stars, singers, celebrities are gifted, special, people who are naturally different from us, the common people. But as there are more and more ‘reality shows’ on T.V, today, everyone and anyone can be a star. In some shows like “The Bad Girls Club” you don’t have to be talented or beautiful you just have to have some anger and personality issues. This show was on Oxygen channel where seven ‘bad’ girls, girls with psychological and personality issues live together for four months. These girls were always fighting, getting drunk every night, hitting each other, hitting other people at bars, and destroying their house. The point of the show was to make these girls work out their relationship issues but it was ironic because the more and more they fought and more violence there was, the ratings went up. I think humans are so unique in that we like to observe fights. Even if it is totally irrelevant to us, as curious beings we want to know why they are fighting and how it is going to resolve.
