Reality TV is actually getting worse as the audience becomes more and more used to the genre. Many shows are becoming ever more vulgar and offensive, trying to find new ways to shock.
When "the British Big Brother" was struggling for viewers last year, its producers responded by attempting to shock the audience a little bit more by showing too much nudity on live TV in a desperate grab for higher ratings.
Others have involved fights and racist bullying. Do we let things continue until someone has to die on TV to boost the ratings?
NO
Reality television programs are very popular with audiences of all ages and types. They may not be high culture, but most people do want them on television. Most viewers want to be entertained and escape for a while from the worries and boredom of their everyday lives.
Furthermore, reality TV creates a society whereby we have shared experiences and a strong sense of community. As such, reality TV provides an important social glue. Once upon a time, there were only a few television channels, and everybody watched the same few programs. Now reality TV provides a shared experience that helps to bind people together, and give them common things to talk about at work and school the next day.

答案
Reality Television Shows Have the Merits Reality television shows are increasingly popular. However, people’s opinions about them vary. Some people oppose to these shows, holding they become more vulgar, offensive and even violent. Others believe these shows serve as an important social glue that binds people together. In my opinion, most reality television shows do have their own merits. Firstly, reality TV shows suit people’s psychological needs for "self-expression" and realization of "true potential". Shows like "American Idol" and "Pop Idol" satisfy the needs for "self-expression", because competitors will perform their talents on singing, dancing and so forth bravely in the shows. Shows like "Survivors" are perfect satisfaction of discovering people’s "true potential". Audiences can easily find competitors’ "true potential" and enjoy the fighting between the competitors. Secondly, reality television shows may exert positive influences on viewers. Because reality TV is known to be "real", it holds a certain quality which makes people realize certain personal qualities and flaws. For example, an obese person watching The Biggest Loser can gain the sense of realization and find determination and motivation to lose weight. In this case, it can be seen as the mirror of oneself. In conclusion, reality television shows have the advantages of meeting people’s psychological needs and benefiting the audiences, and thus it’s good for people selecting some reality TV shows.
