You hit the nail on the head. These shows are just ways for folks who are trying to get in OR are down on their luck to try and get back in.
Has nothing to do with anything but entertainment. I don't understand the allure of any of the "reality" shows. But it sure is a nice way for the studios to make money. Let's see...they could pay every cast member of a sitcom like "Friends" a million bucks an episode OR they can get these mongrels for peanuts and have great ratings and rake in the money.
Kinda like how American Idol makes a bajillion dollars a season and those dumb ass kids don't get paid shit.
But the payoff is in the exposure. Same for Dr. Drew.
Penny Flame is hoping that somehow, somebody will see her and she'll go to the next level. If not, she can still make a living as a "regular" on reality shows.
