Reality Tv! So Corrupt!

This was just fresh on my mind....Reality Television, preferably singing shows are very corrupt.  I hope I am not the only one that has noticed this, but they (the producers)  tend to play favorites a lot and advance the less likely singers to win only because they think they have "the look" or a nice backstory even though there are some that are very deserving based on talent alone that do not go through because they aren't marketable in a television sense. Definitely makes me sick because last time I checked it was a "singing competition" not a popularity contest or a producers likeness contest. We are supposed to vote for who we think is the best one to make it through and advance every week and eventually to the end to win. And who we think is the most marketable in a music industry sense, it should be up to the people at home simply because we are the ones that buy the records to begin with and we are the ones that buy the tickets to go to see them in concerts around the country so of course it should be up to the people, they got that fact correct. But lately I've noticed it has become less and less about the people at home and more and more about the producers of the shows and who they think should advance to give them the best ratings possible for the show and who they can have on there at the end who will make them the most money possible. Think about it, how else did Sanjaya make it so far on American Idol? It obviously wasn't his talent or his voice for that matter, both of them were lacking in every category possible. Think back to years ago, Clay Aiken had Season two in the bag the whole time and they just wanted Ruben to win because of his back story and his likability. Singing didn't matter afterall and there was a controversy about the voting system during the Finale, makes total sense to me that they were rigging the show on purpose. Ever since that night, I have never felt the same about Reality television and I have every right in the world to feel that way based on the past circumstances. Shows like Survivor, The Apprentice, all of them are the same way, its not who "we" want, its what "they" want. Its totally unfortunate but just the way it is. Instead of fighting it, we should just stop watching altogether, that will show them who is boss. Just what I was thinking, thanks for listening to me rant!
