The “Fake” Rewards of Reality TV

[TMC]

Reality TV and talk shows have a way of awarding prizes it seems like everyone would want. But are all these prizes, and awards, and renovations all they're cracked up to be in reality? Today, I'll talk about rewards and renovations on Pimp My Ride, My Super Sweet 16, America's Next Top Model, and Hell's Kitchen. I'll also talk about more forgotten shows like I Wanna Work for Diddy and Paris Hilton's My New BFF. And of course, I have to talk about the time Oprah gave her entire studio audience new Pontiacs, just for them to get stuck with over $6000 in taxes.

This post you brought up reminds me of a joke I saw in a magazine. Something like,"On payday, we screaming,"You get a car, you get a car, everyone gets a car!" 13 days later, we're screaming,"HELP US!" So true!
