What is it about reality tv?

What is it about reality TV? It just grabs you, like giant slimy tentancles. Not only do I watch American Idol, I've to been stucked into America's next top model, and the search for the next pussy cat doll. I just sit there riveted to my TV, unable to unglue my butt from the couch cushions. Minute after minute of drama trauma and I can't get enough. Will it release its grip or will I add yet another reality TV show to my DVR. At least I can fast forward through the commericals and Ryan Seacrest!
