Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of "reality" TV. But fuck, it's all just something to do with your time. We can't always be working, partying, hanging out, or whatever. It is a release, a way to relax, a way to escape. Who are we to judge what others like? It is obvious that the masses like "reality" TV otherwise people wouldn't tune in.
you do not have to make excuses for your reality show fetish.

books are fantasy in that you have to use your imagination to imagine the reality.

reality show key in on the exact parts of peoples lives that most people find boring, ie sex, relationships, drama.

people tune into these SOLELY to see what someone elses life i like. and they do this because they are obviously bored with their own.
