I don't really watch reality TV, but I guess I don't really have time to watch TV. So I have never really thought into how reality TV relates to real life. In the reading Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs the author explains how every person that he meets is in one of the seven types that are displayed on MTV's The Real World. I don't really agree with this because I can't think of anyone from the Real World that would relate to me. I'm not gay, I don't start fights at any chance that I get, I'm not crazy, I'm not a sheltered\spoiled brat, I'm not a whore, and I don't always have to have my way. All of those characteristics describe various girls on the Real World and I am not any of those things.
The one thing that I do agree with the author is that the Real World chooses the cast to make seven particular personalities in the house. These personalities are repeated throughout all of the seasons. This kind of takes away a part of reality on the so called reality program.
