The current controversy doing the rounds involving Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and NBC's newest reality show (fiasco?), "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here", is doing more than providing entertainment, it's about to expose reality TV as we know it today. And quite frankly, it's about bloody time!
The newlyweds claim to be have been tortured to the point of death, and the network, while defending its safety arrangements, accuses Heidi and Spencer of being completely unprofessional and seeking to quit the show against their contract. Looks like the off-the-scene show is messier than the on-screen one. Now one must wonder: did Speidi understand the premise of the show, or were they so stardom-hungry that they jumped on the wagon for the next newest thing, without a thought to the fact that they may actually have to do some work? Let's face it, Speidi have been known to do the darndest things for fame, and they don't exactly have a reputation for authenticity. What kind of torture chamber was this anyway, where they were allegedly deprived of food and water, but provided with an internet connection that enabled them to twitter? Sounds very ominous!
Regardless of how this messy media war pans out, one thing is sure: it will reveal the fascinating truth about just how real reality TV is, for those who are interested. As a start, here's a read about the politics that brew alongside such drama behind the scenes. Aren't you glad HowLegit exists to help you make sense of it all? I certainly am!
