SO SAD YOU CAN ONLY LAUGH (OR CAN YOU)

Sometimes reality tv can be so entertaining you forget these people are real people with real lives. You forget that like many others these people's trouble's are laughed at and then ignored. You forget these people and then they forget themselves..

Today kicked off a new season of Charm School. The host this season is Ricki Lake. While Ricki Lake has been a great role model for many, just like the other hosts I don't she can actually help these girls...She can only make their problems worst.

See, with every reality show there is comedy, amazement, and just pure sadness. Tonight at the end of the show pure sadness hit with one of the girls. I can't speak for others, but Gia's reaction at the end of the show showed me she really needed help. She was suspended from Charm School because she is a black-out alcoholic, but it was apparent that she had real problems, problems that maybe a psychiatrist could handle. She screamed, she shouted, and all the while the camera stayed on her.

In our everyday lives where there are no cameras we go through things. We have ups, but we also have downs. Our downs aren't shown on national television and we have close friends to help us through our problems. But what about those reality stars who get kicked off of shows because of their problems? Beverly clearly had issues on Rock of Love. She was told she had problems and then was dismissed from the show. Then tonight she was on Charm School with the same problems and still was just dismissed. Now, Gia has been dismissed too. These people need help, but who's helping them?

Are you thinking how you wish you could help in some way or are you just laughing at them? Sure reality tv is entertaining but when problems like Ghia's are shown it makes it hard to laugh...or at least for me it does.

Someone really needs to help these girls. Clearly MoNique couldn't, Sharon Osborne couldn't, and Riki Lake is just throwing these women the same old routine that everyone else has already tried.

I give them their props for trying, but think about it. The last thing these girls need is to be on another television show if they are serious about getting their lives straight..would you want a camera following you around when you're at your worst? Someone needs to step in and help these women to find themselves. The only way they can become better women is to get in touch with themselves and they do not have that...so remember

Sometimes reality tv can be so entertaining you forget these people are real people with real lives. You forget that like many others these people's trouble's are laughed at and then ignored. You forget these people and then they forget themselves..
