My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance

Randi is a single elementary school teacher from Arizona. She comes from a good family with good values. So why is she on reality tv? Fox offered to pay Randi 250,000 dollars if she could marry Steve and convince her family to accept her decision in a matter of 12 days. Also, if she succeeded her family would receive 250 grand as well.



The twist is that Steve is a paid actor who will make it hard on Randi to accomplish her goal. When Randi introduces her family to Steve and his family, they make an awful first impression. Randi's mom does not want this kind of future for her daughter and her brother refuses to go to the wedding. But, if she cannot get her entire family to come to the wedding and then make sure they dont object, then she will not win the prize money!

Basically Randi is humiliated on national television when she is standing at the alter and Steve confesses that he is a paid actor and the entire wedding was a scam. Her family is also embarrassed when they find out their Randi has lied to them. However, FOX gave Randi 500,000 dollars and also 500,000 to her family.

Now if you were approached by a major network like FOX and they offered you a quarter of a million dollars to go on reality tv what would you tell them?

I know for a fact that if i brought home someone "fat" and "obnoxious" to meet my parents they would not be thrilled. My dad would want nothing to do with him and my mom would pretend like she supported me, when really she would want to kill me. My brother would most likely punch Steve in the face and they would spend hours trying to convince me not to ruin my life before it even starts. I really dont think I could lie to my family for money? And i would be extremely mad when I found out that my partner in crime had other intentions? Not to mention that its against the Catholic religion to use the sacrament of Marriage when you know that youre not planning to spend the rest of your life with that person.

I guess that money and having 15 minutes of fame really changes the morals of society. Whenever someone sees a dollar bill they will do anything to put it in the back.

The "Bad Girls Club"

Essentially this reality TV program, Bad Girls Club (BGC for short), shows a cast of outrageous young women who live in a mansoin together. Seven "bad girls" between the ages of 21 to 27 live with one another for three moths. They recognize that their behavior in the past has hurt not only their relationships but their lives in general. They have a number of problems including personal, behavior, and psychological.

It has been airing since December 2006 and there are 6 seasons of the reality program. It is the first show on Oxygen to reach one million viewers. The girls each have different personalities, backgrounds, sexual orientations, and lives. They must try to live together without violating the rules that they are given before they move into the mansion.



Throughout the show the house is divided into cliques which creates massive amounts of drama.
The girls were given mandatory nonprofit jobs to help them build work ethic. The goal is for girls to work as a team in order to build relationships after the season is over.

On Season 5 a "bad girl" on the show was at a bar when an incident happened. Kristen was drugged from a man who bought her and another girl on the show. She says, "I had no idea wehre I was and had to go to the ER over night. They later discovered someone put PCP in my drink. They can't show it on the show because then that guy could sue for slander. I am honestly really upset they didn't explain that during the show. I think its really messed up how the entire story wasn't shown, whatever. Done!" She also got into an altercation with one of her room mates during the season.


Now, clearly the show isn't helping anyone with their bad habits or their lady like behavior. The show is meant to entertain the millions of viewers throughout the past 5 years. I am not sure why a young woman would volunteer to be on a show that embarrasses you on national television but I guess everyone has their interests. Our society enjoys watching bad behavior, just like the Jersey Shore.

Temptation Island

A "relationship" between a couple can be defined as a physical and emotional connection made between two people which is intimate with profound feelings involved. But, reality television has turned the meaning of a"relationship" into some kind of entertainment. There have been multiple shows following couples around an testing the boundaries of a relationship. The strength of a couples relationship is truly tested whenever they are put on national television for the entire world to judge how their "relationship" is not perfect.

FOX broadcast the show, Temptation Island. Four devoted young couples were transported to an exotic island. These couples agreed to live with a group of singles of the opposite sex. The overall point of the show was to test the strength of the couples relationships. There were three seasons with 26 episodes in total. The first season aired in January of 2001 and took place in Ambergris Caye, Belize. The next two seasons had bad ratings so the show stopped being aired after the third was broadcast.

After the location is selected for the season, the four couples are separated for twelve days. They are sent off to opposite ends of the island and coupled with singles. The males are surrounded with 13 georgeous women and the females stay with 13 sexy guys. Each of these singles are picked to test fideilty. On the last day of their stay on the "Temptation" Island the couples are reunited.

The entire point is to test the meaning of a true and devout "relationship." The couples are asked if they still want to be together or if they have chosen one of the single temptations. Not only are the couples separated but during the episodes the couples face a number of challenges. The couples test their relationships and find out the meaning of the word temptation.
