exactly. only in this case I most definitely blame the people who enter them. what would a few weeks of 'fame' really get you? what would a few years of 'fame' really get you more?

it's easy to look at the exceptions to the exceptions and think you'd be set for life. the reality is somewhat harsher though, and until we as a society stop worshiping celebrity as some sort of modern divinity people are still going to keep trying to fool themselves into thinking that being famous will tie up all the lose end to their fairy tale and they'll get to live happily ever after.

it is entirely their fault they for being so stupid / full of themselves so as to think they won't be getting taken advantage of for commercial gain. it's the contestants, THEY are the ones begging and screaming to be creatively raped for ratings. how are they not to blame?
