I don't see any difference in taste or value between football, or sports in general and a show like "Real Housewives". One of the interesting things about "taste" is that something doesn't have to be "high brow: or :low brow' for us to enjoy it. Sports is the marriage of art and war. Reality tv is also a marriage of art and war. Social life in North America has a side to it, perhaps a less nobel aspect, especially in the corporate and/or social climbing rich circles,with a lot of competitive behavours and rules and customs. The women in the "Real Housewives" franchise are always in the flux of bonding, competing, breaking social customs (or rules of the game) and being called out by others (like referees or umpires). Within genres of sports such as hockey and football and soccer...there are all kinds of layers of narratives. People who watch and love actual games often find dialogue through the cuts, trades, and scandals of players real lives contrasting with the rules and behaviours and gameship of the basic actual games.<br /><br />I have no argument with you that in our culture reality tv is considered "low brow" and poor taste. You're absolutely correct!<br /><br />But trust me...it delivers every bit of action, excitement, drama, gameship, petty sore loser moves and joy to an interested audience as watching hockey or football does to its interested audience.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-17943126529860163092011-10-04T00:12:54.046-04:002011-10-04T00:12:54.046-04:00Um, right now I'm watching Monday Night Footba...Um, right now I'm watching <i>Monday Night Football</i>.
