Reality TV indiscriminately and routinely proves to be harmful to viewers, contestants, and, worst of all, children. If you simultaneously criticize porn for all its flaws and habitually engorge the mental rot that is reality TV, you are a hypocrite.

People often dismiss the consumption of reality TV as a “guilty pleasure” and regard it as lowbrow, but I feel no embarrassment about my love for it. Beneath the chaos and confessionals, there is something that is worth taking seriously.

Like most people, I can’t resist a good trip down memory lane.
