Some shows now dominate TV…
for many they’re the rage.
The ads say they’re reality...
I ask you with what gauge?
The plot is oft ridiculous
and milieu oft bizarre.
The winner often does some acts
that earn him plumes and tar.
There’s always some contestants
that tend to irritate.
They oft appear on other shows…
a standard boilerplate?
It makes me think that writers
must tend reality…
for otherwise a few good guys
would not end adversely.
They always seem to praise the one
whose morals are effete…
not something we should tell our kids
on how they should compete.
