This week, in class, we talked about the different reality t.v. dating shows like Flavor of Love, Date My Mom, Blind Date, Next, and I Love New York among others. Everyone discussed how stupid they felt it was for these people to go on these shows and make complete fools of themselves because they think it'll make them famous. But one thing that really frustrates me is how a lot of girls claim they would NEVER, EVER, EVER do some of the things that the girls on these shows do. However, I beg to differ.
Take Flavor of Love for example. Now this show was arguably the most watched show on television from the time the first season began. Everybody and their momma watched every episode faithfully to see what would happen next. But what KILLS me is how several girls I've talked to about it claimed they wouldn't let Flava Flav touch them with a 10 foot pole, let alone kiss him because he's so unattractive. But, we've all seen it happen. Maybe not on the level of Flavor of Love or on national television, but each of us knows of a young lady who does stuff with a guy just because of what he could give them or possibly do for them.
My point is, everyone, I repeat, EVERYONE has a price. No matter how much you deny it, for the right price, you may find yourself doing some of the same things these reality t.v. girls do that you call "stupid". Many times, these girls go on these dating shows because they want to become famous and rich. Yes, a lot of the things they do in order to win the man over are embarassing, and just plain old stupid. But, I firmly believe that you never know what you would do in a situation, until you're put in that situation. The moral of the story is, although you may feel the girls on these reality dating shows were stupid for doing some of the things they did just to become famous or rich, NEVER SAY NEVER, because one day, that might be you!!

I don't know about that. Honestly, I kind of feel like--even though I am totally broke and barely treading water in debt--I really don't think I could let Flavor Flav touch me. I don't think I'd be able to get the creepiness of his touch off me, or pretend that I liked it well enough to hit the big payday. It would be like waking up to find a bug crawling out of my ear and then obsessing for weeks over whether or not it had laid eggs in my ear and whether there were baby bugs feeding on my brain.
Excellent post, nonetheless!
