Hi there,
Here where i live, that show is HUGE. Everybody watches it and children grow up watching it.
I always cringed, when i accidentaly put it on tv while changing channels, where people would pick up fights for seemingly miserable reasons or falling in love so quickly and pretending to take that relationship seriously. Always thought it was all staged in order to bring in the audience.
But now i just had an epiphany while researching workplace bullying and i realized that people act like they were in a real life big brother, especially with backstabbing and passive-agression. I think they are emulating those behaviors that they used to see on tv, i even remember kids at school would talk about that show all the time and i didn't understand the thrill. Turns out people on that show are not really just acting out, as i previously thought.
Do you think it's worth it to watch those kind of reality shows with the intention of learning how to mimic NT behavior (i mean the decent behaviors of course, and also how to defend myself from the nasty ones) or is it still too fake?
I ask this because i intend to have a job one day, and being myself didn't help much through all these years.
