" By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."

Splitsvilla.

This seems to be another one in my series against the trash (however comical and liable to give you THE splits (only makes sense, to make that sound like a disease))(I think this is the first time I've used braces inside braces. Hmmm) that is on T.V. these days. Today's special- Splitsvilla.

Official tag- a new romance-based reality show, where Love is War. Jezus. 20 "hot" girls compete for two "hot" guys. The winner finds not only "love" but a nice 5 lac rupees AND a chance to host a show on T.V. All the bindings of true loue, wouldn't you say?

One of the guys is a skinny short shit who got thrown out of Roadies. Another can't be shot down on account of being short or skinny, but is another person who got kicked out of Roadies, and couldn't compete with a termite on account of intelligence.

Both of them, sit on their toadstools and shoot out stuff like "So-and-So you're confy, that's good. But being over confy is bad." (to which the So-and-So in question nods her head vigorously to show her assent) and to another So-and-So "You've played well. Very well. But this isn't a game to us". My pretty ass it's not.

They girls who weren't "dumped" were the ones who'd managed to win the hearts of our two lonesome bachelors by dancing on the top of a table amongst other things. True love = ability to dance on table tops. One poor lil darling who announced she enjoyed philosophy, kinda threw the axe on her own foot, because our desperately- looking- for- love guys wouldn't know how to even spell that word. Oh and by the by, guess what each of them said in their intros- we're looking for girls with a sense of humor. Which in turn obviously implies intelligence.

And MTV should obviously be revered for the great oppurtunity they're offering us people. For the stage that they have set, obviously invites nothing but the most intelligent of people. Announcing, and eagerly waiting to prove how "bold" they are. Top notch brains of the country, my friend, absolute top notch.

I can understand something along the lines of trying to find true love through television- there's something similar on Travel and Living, I forget the name. But having 20 girls fight for you? 18 girls whom you "dump" while on this quest, because they refuse to dance on table tops or don't stand on the roof and shout "I'm daring, try me". 2 girls whom you choose based on their style of dressing, and what moves(yes, plural) when they dance?

Enchanted. Absolutely enchanted.

    Like most "reality" TV shows, this one is bound to be supremely idiotic. But that's why people watch. Participants of these shows must be willing to submit themselves to all kinds of embarrassment - whether they know it or not. The fact is that many, if not most, of the viewers watch these shows to laugh at the stupidity of the participants and feel good about themselves.
    Take for example the show "Beauty and the Geek". The "beauties" are so terribly stupid and the "geeks" are so socially maladjusted that the average viewer is bound to feel good about themselves because they know they can perform the tasks on the show so much better than the participants can.

    I understand why people would want to watch something like that to make fun of the people, or for a good laugh.

    But to feel good about themselves? Hmmm.

    There is also this other section that gets so attached to this stuff, that they actually/ for real send those messages needed to "save" people or something like that.

    SG.

    Laughing at or making fun of participants on a show like that is the same thing as feeling good about yourself. If you were as stupid as them, you probably wouldn't find it funny. It gives the viewer an egotrip, and it's designed to be that way.
