Personal Lives Exposed...Are reality shows real??

VH1's new reality show "Tool Academy", is very exciting to watch; well if you are into seeing boyfriends make their girlfriends look stupid. Couples are on this show because the boyfriends are either cheaters, abusers, or have any other characteristics that make a terrible boyfriend. The objective of the competition is to see which man will change the most, thus realizing how important his relationship is. However, the journey is the issue. This brings the question- are reality shows real, and if not how far should one go just receive fame from being on a reality show. Personally I feel that some are real, but most are fake. In this case, Tool Academy seems to be real. My only problem with this show is that is does exploit the lives of the couples, in every aspect, from their sexual lives to there emotional lives. I also feel that the women on the show are left looking stupid, as if the relationship solely rests in the hands of their men. For example, one of the men first came to the show with his girlfriend for 6 months, however, the same week his real girlfriend for 6 years showed up. He then had to choose which girl would be his girlfriend on the show. He chose the one he had been with for 6 years. What gives him the right to have 2 girlfriends at the same time, what gives him the right to just choose one over the other, and what gives him the right to break his first girlfriends heart. This show upsets me because it gives men the idea that they are in control of relationships, when it is suppose to be 50/50.
