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 be concerned about the exploitative nature of shows like that. Creative editing can make a hero or villian out of just about anyone. I'd have to really consider a lot of factors and weigh the benefits vs. the potential consequences.

What kind of production is it? What is the premise of the show? What kinds of shows have they put out in the past? Are they reputable, and have they treated talent well in the past? Do you get paid? What would you have to give up, or what inconvenience would you go through? What would you gain from the experience?

You're only young once, and this may be your only chance to do soemthing interesting like this. You just don't get to take chances and do adventurous things when you're older, so if it's a safe situation and you feel comfortable with the way you'll be portrayed, I'd say go for it. :)

The exploitative thing is what I'm concerned about, to be honest. From what I know so far, I would feel pretty comfortable doing it. There's only about a one in three chance that this will happen at this point, anyway. If it actually is a go, I think we'll probably do it. If they don't choose our neighborhood, c'est la vie.
