VIDEO: Our Montage of Why People Are/Aren't Here on Reality TV - YAHOO!

By Rich Juzwiak 35 minutes ago

We already know that people aren't on reality TV to make friends. Per recent episodes of Food Network Star and Food Network Star, they still aren't. But for the video below, we thought we'd take a look into the other reasons why people say they are and aren't appearing on unscripted television. These things range from "for me" (Celebrity Rehab), "for the deaf kids" (Celebrity Apprentice) and, as heard on America's Got Talent, "to tell people that if you don't get in your own way, your dreams are yours for the havin'" (whatever that means!). Obviously, people on unscripted TV are constantly being interviewed about themselves, but this compulsive need to declare one's purpose suggests a greater struggle for meaning.

August 23, 2011 DC Real Housewife Michaele Salahi Rents in Beverly Hills Zillow The Eagle Tribune Tue Aug 23, 2011, 05:45 PM EDT - Apparently Washington D.C. doesn't have enough star-power for Michaele and Tareq Salahi. The fame-driven couple just picked up a Beverly Hills rental house for $20,000 a month. The white Colonial looks remarkably similar to another white house they crashed in 2009. Although the Salahis first had their dose of fame on The Real Housewives of Washington D.C., they became a household name when they went to President Obama's first state dinner at the White House in November 2009 , apparently uninvited.
