Trashy Television

Whats up world?

I absolutely love trashy TV, that is almost any reality show there is. Real world and real housewives (all of them) being my two favorites. I happen to just watch the episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey where Theresa and Danielle have a fight at the country club. Then Danielle calls the police, who do nothing, and everyone goes home.

As much as I love the show and watch it, meaning I feed this horrible American Society crap, I find a problem in this episode that can be applied to almost all reality TV.

1) Danielle is mentally ill. It has become clear that similar to Kelly on housewives of New York, Danielle lives in a very different reality than is perceived by everyone else. Danielle truly is afraid that the women on the show are going to attack her. In fact, she thinks they already did. She feels a need for body guards and police intervention

2) Danielle, though always fearful of physical harm, continues to go to all the places that the other women frequent. Asking for it yes, deserving it no.

3)The police see Danielle as the boy who cried wolf. Though I do not believe anyone should have been arrested, and Danielle was absurdly hysterical, the police were not serving and protecting. I do believe the other women need to be protected from Danielle really.

4) Theresa is no angel. She may not have picked a fight with Danielle, but she did start a conversation with her. Has no one else learned that if you open the door for Danielle to go crazy she will?

So this brings me to a few questions:
1)What about Danielle's kids? Are they in danger having a mother with no income besides this show, having a mother who is not stable enough to handle herself, and frequently has ex-convicts who see no harm in threatening violence and are okay with going to jail again?

2)When do the actions on reality TV since now exposed become someones responsibility? It is now obvious to all of America that there are issues that are escalating to a dangerous area. Because they all signed contracts does this mean we all watch and wait for disaster?

This is my biggest problem with reality TV. We all want to watch people mess up their lives, but no one is willing to help them.

I do think that Caroline and Jaquelin as well as her husband need to be applauded. Caroline has been right this whole time. Ignore the crazy lady and go about your life the way you want to. Give her no reason to be part of you. Good job! Jaquelin and her husband need applause on their daughter who is obviously out of control. If she listened to them, shed be in good hands. Typical teenager thinking they are above it and untouchable... "it won't happen to me" She actually thinks she can 'do whatever she wants shes 18' What she doesn't understand is that if she really wanted to kick Danielle's ass she should have done it before her 18th birthday so she would be a juvenile.

There should be a seminar for high school students freshman year and again senior year explaining the law to them....

I wish all the housewives, especially Kelly and Danielle the best, they need the most help. And I hope Albie, Caroline's son becomes the greatest attorney America has ever known.
