Reality TV has become a main media source for trash TV. Shows like Jersey Shore, and Here comes Honey Boo Boo, are just a couple of examples that have ruined reality TV's image. It's not surprising that it is offensive, with Jersey Shore's excessive drinking and Here comes Honey Boo Boo's borderline child abuse and extremely unhealthy life style, they offend and supposedly entertain many. But even with all of it's faults, Reality TV has some redeeming qualities, American Idol, The Biggest Loser, and other shows in the same group show that people can achieve their dreams through hard work, and the shows give the contestants help with their goals, whether it be by getting them noticed by music executives, or losing weight, these shows help keep the entire genre afloat on the morality level, while the other shows keep it afloat on the ratings level in the kind of, the car wreck that you can't look away from kind of way.
