Would you admit your relative was on a reality show?

Posted: Sep 12, 2010

I happened to be changing channels today and saw one of my relatives on a show on Bravo. One part of me thought good for her! The other part of me said to keep quiet about it. Do you know someone whose been on a reality show? Was s/he portrayed true to his/her real character?

Yes, my niece was on The Next Food Network star, and she really is a sweetie, but she doesnt let anyone push her around. The network took that aspect of her personality and ran with it. You know, they have to make someone the villain in order to get the ratings!

Did it bother your niece that they did that or did she expect it?

I love that show but I can tell they edit things specifically for drama.

She has a really good attitude and even though she didnt win, the judges all agreed that if the show was about who could actually cook, she would have won hands down!

it was a real housewives show - browsing Bravo channel

I could definetly tell my relative had a lot of input into the script, but they had her do a couple of things uncharachteristic of her to add drama. I still don\'t what to think about it.

OH NO! That housewife show can be really - flash

Not a relative, but a neighbor of mine and his family was on that "wife swap" show. Why not admit it if you're asked? It's absolutly no reflection on you, and if anything, it's definitely makes for interesting conversation!

It was kind of cool peeking in on the filming taking place in their home.

Not reality, but one of my in-laws has a show. - Don't ask. Won't tell.

The in-law definitely has been known to stir up controversy from time to time,and I'm not always in agreement with the particular point of view that's broadcast, so I don't usually admit to a relationship.

I wouldn't bring up the relative on Bravo out of the blue, but I wouldn't deny it either. It's not you on the program, and it's a fact that your relative was on the program. That's just how it is.

that was how I felt, too - browsing Bravo channel

That's the conflict I feel inside. This relative would create a lot of controversy. On one hand, I am very proud of how she has pulled herself up from rags, but what she does is decidedly controversal.

There is plenty of outrage about this. When will this stuff stop? Is it greed (money) or is it fame? Change.org has a petition going and there's 23,000 people who signed it. There's Sister Wives, Honey Boo-Boo, Toddlers and Tiaras, Buck Wild, the new "Redneck" (from WV), and others to name a few. I certainly think these shows need to go. It degrades the people in these shows and dumbs down our society. http://www.11alive.com/news/article/271475/40/Former-GA-resident-lead ...

Will be visiting my friend soon in another state. I wanted to rent a car but found the cost was much more than I had hoped. I have car insurance, they have car insurance. I called my insurance company yesterday. If I rented a car I would be covered but does not cover me driving another person's car. This is the situation: We wanted to travel to another city in the state and the friend does not want to drive. I on the other hand would be willing to drive. Has anyone ever put another person o ...

It was very interesting. One guy showed Obama where he grew up in the Harlam and what it was like for him growing up. It was just a very g ...

I responded to someone below that the GOP politicians were smarter than people think, very capable of accurately assessing the attitudes and motivations of their constituents. However, I "try" to evaluate all our leaders without blinders, so I have to be fair and wonder - has Obama done that to us left-leaning Independents and Dems, too? Because his lame-duck stuff is starting to worry me. What do other Dems and left leaners think of him trying to fast-track the deal through like this? Whenev ...

So, I was super excited about getting out of the house for a lunch date with the gals. I woke up early, showered, shaved the legs, ironed a pretty little low cut dress but found that the sides of my bra strap were sticking out. Tried on a couple of other bras, nothing was working. I decided to try a safety pin. In the process I broke the plastic front closure of the bra. No biggie, I still have the safety pins out so, pinned that too. Satisfied with my morning ...

Was watching Celebrity Apprentice last night- now we are lumping 'reality stars' in with people who actually did something to become famous? Seriously??? What is that about? It seems like we have become a society where reality TV seems like it is not real, and stuff that is supposed to be real like politics, the news, etc. is all staged for show now. I do realize they are scraping the bottom of the barrel this season- it's kind of resembling 'The Surr ...

Weird-looking cars are a dime a dozen. Far less common are weird-looking cars that can also fly AND have approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.

But the recent announcement that it's going into production sparked mega-searches on the Web. Almost immediately, online lookups for "terrafugia transition" and "terrafug ...

Israeli liberals woke up after national elections with a demoralizing feeling: Most of the country, in a deep and possibly irreversible way, does not think like they do.

This was a very good article in Tuesday's paper. Too bad the showdown with public employee unions has come to this. One can be pro-union and still feel a growing resentment at these workers.

Public employees are fighting to keep their old-fashioned defined-benefit plans. Such plans promise to pay a set amount to each qualified retiree. If t ...
