I think that Reality TV is not made for a person like Brenda. Like it or not, those who volunteer for these kind of shows are willing to sacrifice bigger things for a few bucks. I think that the perception that others have of your sincerity, gratitude, respect, morals, etc. will be forever be compromised when everything is said and done.
It’s hard to realize that your character is at the hands of some smart TV editors, but the general public will always view you as that kind of persona on the screen. If I was interviewing someone like Dawn for a job, she would never get it. I already know how low she’s willing to go in order to achieve a monetary award.
There is something toxic found in watching those who are willing to go as nasty as they can in front of millions, and have that footage available forever.
I would like to think that a lot of people would be smart enough to believe it was just a game, but after countless death threats and attacks to their person, it is obvious that these contestants have no clue what they are getting into in the long run.
