Reality television shows are everywhere we look. Whether it be a show telling us how we should look, act, dress, and how we should fall in love we get a false perception of bliss. Contestants sometimes do not even have the intentions that the show may lead us on to believe. I attached a picture of Joe Millionaire Evan Marriott. I personally watched this show when it was on television. I completely had a false impression of a fairy tale love that was set up in a lavish area even though the man was really a poor construction worker. He seemed to really be interested in finding love and making a life for him. The reality of it was that he was just in it for the money. The ultimatum of the show for his choice, Zora was essentially love or money. I find it funny how in the end Evan was only in it for money and had no interest in love. False perceptions are forced upon us daily thanks to reality television. We build up stereotypes of what is reality and what is not. Thinking that love should be built in a glamorous and lavish setting is completely false. Most people on television for love are just a way to get free publicity for themselves or other means of self-gain other than love.
