MTV Reality

About a month ago MTV had this new reality show on that featured myspace's superstar Tila Tequila. On the show it had both male and female contestants. Tila Tequila had come out to the world that she was bisexual. On the show it had some very inappropriate things for tv, like girls making out. Since when was MTV allowing that? A year ago they would have blurred it out!!! Now they are actually showing this? Even though they showed girls making out, and guys and girls fighting over Tila, and games that were played between the two sex's i had to watch it. I even found myself rooting for a girl to win. (wow!) A year ago they would not have even begun to think about showing that kind of stuff on tv. They probably would have gotten sued for inappropriate material. Even though i didn't like seeing the girl on girl action or the weird games that they played, this reality show kept my attention for about an hour every Tuesday night. What has this world come to? Now we're watching this kind of crap? It's about all we got now on tv. Mostly everything that we see now days is provocative and suggestive. I can't even watch mtv while I'm babysitting my next door neighbor who is 10 going on 15, it just isn't appropriate. Being a Christian i shouldn't let myself watch this but i found it hard to not watch it, and to NOT talk about the next week episodes to my friends at school. A shot at love isn't the only show I've caught myself watching.

The gauntlet 3 kept my attention after Tila Tequila ended. Alright, so I've always been a sucker for The Real World, and the Road Rules, and then the games they play like the Gauntlet. But i must say, this years Gauntlet had to be the worst out of all the rest of them! The show featured The Rookies vs The Veteran's who kicked butt all through the game but at the end lost because one of their team members quit. This season had a lot of hook ups with other cast members, and even a gay and lesbian couple got together. ALRIGHT... so my question is, why all of a sudden is MTV and VH1 focusing on gay and lesbians? I have nothing wrong with them, none at all, but I'm finding it somewhat offensive when everything you watch is lesbian and gay. Now, I've been watching The Real World since i was about 13 and yes they usually have the one gay guy but they don't normally show him macking down on some dude!!! Over the years it's progressively gotten worse, making this year the worst. Last week there was a spring break party with Tila Tequila that showed girls making out, and guys talking about sex, and talking about things that should NOT be talked about on tv. I don't think that what they are showing on tv is appropriate, and realistic. What happened to the music videos they used to play continuously every day all day? I'm not saying that everything that MTV plays is all bad, but most has gotten raunchy and vulgar. However, i do find myself watching these tv shows because they keep me entertained, and this is exactly what MTV wants. Theres one good thing about MTV! The Hills. Ah, yes the best show around. Lauren Conrad, the girl from Laguna Beach now lives in LA battling friendships, unsuccessful relationships and vogue drama. I must say that this show has got me hooked. But its only got me hooked for one more season, this new one being the last(tragedy!). The Hills is among the only shows that doesn't show lesbians and gays, or girl on girl action, or guy on guy action, no drug references or sex references. I wouldn't recommended this show for people that are not mature though. However, this one of the better shows that MTV offers. I know if you're reading this you are probably thinking that I'm totally whack and that i must be some kind of MTV Nazi, but in reality i love MTV and i would love it even better if they would just change some of their material that they played. Even my boyfriend who is in college, and not that "Oh i hate lesbian action or sex" thinks that MTV has gone too far. And he's right. MTV has gone too far with the material that they are showing. They have also gone TOO far with the reality shows. They should take it down a notch and stop playing the dating shows, and that annoying dance show. If they played more of Americas Next Top Model, The Hills, Laguna Beach, The Real World, The Road Rules, and Music videos i would love MTV even more and i wouldn't be writing this blog for school about how corruptive MTV has gotten.
