Reality TV + Food = Great Television

Given, I am an avid fan of reality television and support the entertainment provided by it, in contrary to many television watchers out there. To many, reality television defeats the purpose in the sense of "sitcom", and just isn't good enough as the daily channel 5 news. Reality TV has really been over shadowed by shows portraying lives of rich white kids, celebrities, and figures in pop culture who have become famous because of their mistakes. What most people don't notice is food network's The Next Food Network Star. This reality-game show is a contest of a selected amount of aspiring t.v. chef's competing for the opportunity to have their own program on one of the two only channels on cable television that appreciates the quality of food. This in my opinion is reality t.v. at its finest. Original in that it is helping out aspiring people achieve their professions, Exciting in that people get cut based on how good their food tastes, and Dope in that who would have thought that a bunch of people cooking food can entertain 100000+ people enough to tune into next week's broadcast. I admit, it got me hooked.
