I choose the very first journal post reality TV show Flavour of love. I picked this journal out of all the rest because it shows how different reality shows can get based on what the contestants are trying to win. In Flavor of love Flava Flav is in his fiftys and he is still looking for love. The women who make it on to the show are all in their early twenty's to their mid thirty's. Even though it is a love show it comes off as a joke to viewers. The show got a lot of media attention, the media was making jokes of the women. They make it seem like all of the women wanted to fight with each other. They were all "gold diggers", no respect for them-selves, they lacked intelligence, and more.
When it comes to shows that are based on black people there always has to be more drama, violence, faults, bad sides, and degrading of women going on. The show came off as Flava Flav, being an older man, and being able to get any women he wants with his money, and not with his personality.
