If you have watched enough reality shows — and honestly, haven’t we all? — you find that the common denominator for all of them is creating conflict where there is none. Or making a mountain out of a mole hill. Whether it’s over a set up game on an island in the South Pacific or a dancing show with C-listers, magnifying drama is the genre’s stock and trade.
Having hosted reality shows, I know first hand that the drama they amplify is actually not as interesting as the actual human dramas taking place. But that doesn’t stop them. Since I’m not named Mark Burnett or Freemantle or Magical Elves, what do I know?
I wanted to apply the formula to my life and see how it works.
The dramatic music was a hoot! Your whole family has great comedic timing.
omg, so GOOD!!! Where’s my popcorn, someone’s here to entertain! Loved every over-the-top minute of it, felt every struggle right alongside of you. And so natural.
Hi Daphne, I absolutely love this website! I’m a mother of a wonderful 6 year old girl and I also struggle with depression. This website always help me feel better and gives me much needed laughter. Please keep the blogs comin!
This is hilarious! My only question is…who was voted off at the end of the show?
O
M
G
The music, everything:
why isn’t everyone here at this site???
thanks all!! I watched a version yesterday that had no music so I asked Drew, editor, to put some in. Think he nailed it.
Gloria, thank you for telling me this. That is one of the chief reasons I wanted to do this site. Hang in there!
Good one, Lynn! Empress, I’m pretty sure everyone who’s anyone IS here at this site. Well, except for Monica, who is sure to show up eventually.
That made my day. the music was great…. omg you are fabulous. Mark is stellar.
Truly the life of a long suffering husband married to a Brogdon girl.. nobody I KNOW would disagree… did MP say ” share?”
you guys had more drama, comedy, pathos than the whole SEASON of the real HWives of BH ( not that I saw it)
that is truly how trivial the issues are on reality shows…why are we so fascinated? your video is hilarious!
Yes, Jessica
I am showing up,
I must have been really working last Friday. Love it!
Daphne, don’t let them vote you off.
that was the funniest thing i’ve seen all day. really points out how utterly stupid reality tv is. hilarious! thanks!
Aw thanks Daphne! Your blogs combined with my anti-depressants, should make for a pretty speedy recovery
Laughing over and over. You nailed it, Daphne! Love the stuff you put on this site!
