Reality Show and its gimmicks to increase Television Rating Point (TRP)!

A big question which comes to my mind is "Are the reality shows happening for talent hunt or is it to play pranks with people's personal life?" It hurts so much that it happens on a music show!

Here is the situation to which am writing this post:

A and B are contestants in a music show and are the top rated contestants to win the title. Contestant C points his finger to contestant D in one of his performances. The camera is rolling towards another angle to contestants A and B indicating these people are the people whom he is referring to in the song. The camera then rolls to contestant D who responds to the Contestant C with a gesture.

There are many meanings that can be drawn from the above instance. Rolling the camera to selected contestants all the time can draw "n" no. of meanings for a single instance among the public.

The public comes to conclusions in a jiffy without knowing the head and tail of it! Having said this, even if something fishy budding between the contestants it is none of our business to comment about it. It is upto them to deal with it.

All the above crap is something which is out of the box happening in a music show. Let there be discussion about music rather than personal stuff on a musical reality show.

Are the Marketing Managers and PRO's not finding any other way to increase the TRP rating? Or should i say the editor's work has been blindly accepted by the team to telecast the show? Shame on the approach! It proves their inability to do their job effectively. Above all, showing the personal vengeance of the contestant on screen is so immatured and i must say even if the contestants have showed their personal vengeance on screen; one of the wiser approaches could be, to edit those portions. Because of this, Unnecessarily people who are not involved in the matter get involved in it and the internet is such a wide medium of communication that the whole world is talking about it! What do i say about it...Insane people and their insane approach?

The irony here is the reality show becomes a reel show! Please know that they (the organizers)are insulting music by focusing more on the other stuff in a music show than the music itself.

The other major concern is about editing in these kind of shows which entirely changes the perspective of the public. It is so obvious that the editing is not happening properly in these shows. Editing half the portions of what the contestant sang and judges giving comments about the edited part is so insane and it is more concerned with fooling the public! Do they think whatever these people edit and telecast on the TV will be accepted by the public? You might find a way to increase the TRP rating for that moment, however, you may end up in having no viewers at all very soon! Please have this in mind and my humble request is PLEASE DO NOT INSULT MUSIC IN A MUSIC RELATED REALITY SHOW by focusing more on the contestants personal life than music.
