Having worked in TV for a number of years, I take a fairly jaundiced view of much of what that industry does, most especially "reality" shows. Kudos to you for having the initiative to get yourself on the show twice, but that category of producers and their staffs are so practiced in blowing sunshine up people's skirts -- and so many people are so dazzled at the prospect of being on the tube that they're woefully easy to manipulate. Luckily, you don't fall into that group.

I am guessing (which means I have NO idea!) that many of the reality TV shows are scripted more than we realize. I agree that viewers would get more out of the authentic experience you described. However, it turned out it's one more example of the many interesting things you have done in your life Kristi!

PS I know not all shows are scripted as a local recently won the show Alone and he was alone in the wilderness the whole time.
