Pointless Television

Over the holiday weekend i caught up on "me" time and whatched a Bad Girls Club marathon on T.V.. I had never seen the show before and God knows I love my reality shows but as I was watching it I couldn't help but think this show is the most pointless thing on T.V. today. The basic premise is they take seven girls and put them in a house and their only goal is to start as many stupid fights as possible and see how long the girls can take it before the crack. I don't know if it's possible for any good to come from a show like this other than to teach girls how not to act. Every episode the girls are fighting about something, wether it's "you talked crap about my friend"or "you're a stupid slut cause you took my toothbrush". The only thing this show does is reinforce the setreotype that women a crazy and the smallest thing can set them off. My favorite girl on the show would have to be Tanisha. No matter who is arguing in the house Tanisha will barrell in and just start screaming in their face until it eventually gets violent. The Bad Girls Club is great entertainment for most people but sets a terribble for young girls who will learn to think it's cool to yell and scream at other girls when they do something you don't like. Whats worse is some girls have to leave the house because all the other girls ganged up on her and she couldn't take the verbal abuse anymore. As someone who was teased a lot in school I do not support this kind of behavior at all especially if it leads to violence. We need to teach young girls that this is not a cool thing to do.
