Well this is a type of television programming favoured by commerical TV stations who rely on generating revenue by advertising. These types of shows appeal to the lowest common denominator which means they dont offer a refined taste or opinion and so by default doesn't turn people off because its not to their particular taste. It also plays on the idea of voyeurism. This in theory means the show attracts a large broad range of viewers as possible which will in turn drive up advertising slot costs and make more money. This is often supplemented by a phone vote feature which generates more money.
In the UK, where the explosion of Digital Terrestrial Television has now given most of the public at least 30 channels to choose from, the big 5 commercial terrestrial channels have employed reality TV as a tactic to maintain large audiences. Most guilty of this is 'itv', nicknamed chavtv whos last two attempts at reality TV were a little too far fetched (celebrity wrestling and celebrity love island) and concequently flopped.
My hope is that this represents a turn in the tide of endless banal reality TV and that the enormous amount of money made off it will be invested into quality TV programming but I think thats unlikely.

Get the i reject your reality and substitute it with my own mug.A realist (by definition) is a person completey unbiased. Something we should all stride for. There are people that are so biased that literaly nothing can sway there way of thinking. If they think the sky is green god himself couldn't make them think any differently. Unfortunately nobody on earth is a full realist because we all have some level of bias. But we should always stride to be as close to reality as possible.
A realist see things as they are with zero bias and deal with the situation as is.

Get the reality mug.A Natural Reality Check or "NRC" is a way of figuring out whether a girl is worth continuing conversation with and later banging by simply masturbating and seeing if you still have the urge to do such banging.
You usually perform an NRC when youre talking to a girl on Facebook or texting someone
The science behind an NRC is, that after beating off you have a lower sex drive, meaning that if you still want to do it, she's really worth it.
