Reality or Should I Say No So Reality Shows

When did reality shows become all about sex? We watched episode 2 of the new season of Hell's Kitchen, yes, day 2, which in their reality is more like day 4 0r 5. Two people had already hooked up and disappeared into a bedroom. Really? You are that lacking in morals... Then we watched Love in the Wild, which is an absolutely unreal and inane show. It is about 24 single people who are looking for love. These people have the opportunity to pair up for challenges and at the same time get to know each other. At the end of the challenge, they can either keep their partner or swap him or her for someone else, and two people go home. Very few have lasted continually, with only 1 couple paired up from the beginning. The others have mixed and matched throughout the game. Add in free flowing alcohol in their off time (they get to live in a compound with each couple having their own cabin for the night), a hot tub and swimming pool and you have a recipe for free flowing diseases. Really?? Yes, people do end up hooking up and are in bed together, then a few days later they have hooked up with another one and are in bed with that person too. Um, really? Developing a relationship with someone doesn't factor in? Just quick sex Goodness... I am thinking the winning couple will end up with more than the monetary prize - a lifelong reminder of their time in the wild. (and btw, not every single person is 20 something and a size 2, or for the guys, have six packs - can you get more realistic looking singles please!)
