A question

[emmagrant01]

If you were offered a chance to be on a "reality show" on TV, would you do it?

Yes, I'm asking for a reason... :-P

ETA: Doesn't involve eating bugs as far as I know. They just knocked on my door yesterday. They're coming back today to do a screen test...

I'd have to go with the "no way in hell" crowd. There is no way I would put myself out there like that, especially since I don't believe that any TV producer can be trusted to keep their word about how things will go.

No.

No, unless...
- I had something to promote
- no bug-eating or sex under the camera would be involved
- I figured I had a reasonable chance of coming out all right using all the charm I think I have.

Look at this VERY objectively: how does it help you now? In six months' time? In two years' time?

Consider doing it if there is a visible advantage for you (such as, you have a book about to be published and this wil sell copies) and examine the minuses very carefully (as in: "We can't possibly hire this woman! She made a complete fool or herself in that awful program. Would look bad for ther company.")

I would have to say that it would highly depend on what the show is about. Some of these "reality" shows give me the creeps.

Answer: No. Hate reality television. Hate most television, actually, unless it's cool like Buffy or brainy like Jeopardy or funny like Who's Line Is It Anyway?.
