What is real in reality TV?

Why do we want to watch beautiful wealthy people, why are we interested in what they do, how they live, what kind of clothes they choose to wear, what they do in their fabulous lives and who they are? We want to see the fabulous and have a feeling of bonding with that atmosphere and sense of what fabulous is. To be trendy and styled from hip to toe knowing exactly what is good and what is not, how to be and how not to be and why. What is real in reality TV is the feeling of invasion into someone’s life and seeing someone rich closer talking about their every day issues which are very different from those with normal income and tiny homes. You can almost smell them. Could fabulous be anybody else than Kardashians or Plastic wives? How sleazy fabulous is is the paradox of this luxury lifestyle and spectacle, peep show. How narrow the perspective into real life when any distraction can be wiped away with Botox, which is far from fabulous. The look of skin and surface which we want to take a view on is like playing with dolls and imagining their lives. Reality TV is therefore fake but we think it is real. Wealth seems to be the issue, style and spending on lifestyle which is a dream and what is something to have as precious and glorious jackpot, royal and almost like it is at reach but not quite. A soap which is happening in real life, real life is as messy as soap operas tend to be but something is missing. Drama is created by pushing someone who is irritating into a pool, talking about vagina surgery makes headlines, vacations to luxurious places with playboys and what happened there. Something really strange and awful I bet.
