Reality shows

Reality shows are turning out to be more of glamorous shows. Of course, the participants need to be presentable. But we find that their make-up is garish and they sport tattoos and what not, which are avoidable.

Such extravaganza takes away the competitive spirit and makes the shows mere commercial presentations. The selection of winners by SMS voting fetches crores for the TV channels and sponsors, far exceeding the prize money the winners get.
