Reality TV

In Turkey, for a certain period, we used to have reality programs on TV. Lots of people really watch them. Unfortunately, I was one of them. I didn’t think about the ‘thing’, that pushed me to watch them, until now. I think that I wanted to isolate myself from the fasads, from the masks, from the pretendeces. So, with the will of tasting some reality, these types of TV programs were my places to escape. I really started to meet with these people, who were locked in a house to compete with the others. I started to find our similarities, and started to identify myself with them, since the real life was not real enough and we were just pretending. Also I was sick of seeing the make-ups instead of seeing people in their pajamas naturally.
