After doing some research on reality shows (http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Real-is-Reality-TV?&id=191704) I see that people are pressured to be outrageous and to act outside of character for rating purposes. This makes sense in the terms of some networks trying to make a name for themselves. What better way to get viewers, having people argue and fight on national television. What we still don't know is if The Hills is fake.. in the article by Michael Russell he just continues to touch on the purposes of reality television. I am going to continue to look into The Hills mystery real or fake? Michael Russell makes a good point on how people tend to act out of character due to the people they are forced to live with. Some could argue that their character wasn't properly portrayed due to having to be around the same people 24/day. For instance several of the girls said this after being on the hit show Top Model.
