For the purposes of this blog I decided to watch an episode of "The Jersey Shore", it just so happened to be the season finale. This episode was more tame than other Jersey Shore episodes, but there was still a lot of drama in the episode since it still is the Jersey Shore. The beginning of the episode started with the couple in the house who are always fighting, indeed fighting like usual. Ron and Sammie were fighting over a boy that Sammie had dated 3 years before the episode, thought it was the dumbest fight ever! Who cares who Sammie had kissed 3 years ago? Does it matter? No, but they love drama and make everything dramatic because that's what we like to watch on TV. And that also includes me, I thoroughly enjoy watching them fight about dumb things that don't matter. The second part of the episode was pretty boring since they were all getting along with each other since it was their last day at the shore together. Which just goes to show that reality TV is only entertaining because it is dramatic and fun to watch people argue. Which is also why half of "The Jersey Shore" is probably somewhat scripted just to make sure it stays entertaining. I'd assume that about half of what happens on the show is real, but I'm sure the producers tell them to do things to cause drama in the house with the rest of the cast. What I think is "so darn entertaining about reality TV" is that you get to watch the drama unfold, but not be dragged into it and be involved. Being a spectator is the draw to reality TV.

I agree with what you said about it being "scripted" for more entertainment...which is why I personally think its dumb.
