This is how I feel with most reality TV, and I'm never able to properly describe why I never feel right about it. There's a certain anonymity through obscurity that's completely broken with reality TV. Even if the people agree to allowing themselves to be filmed (like Cops, or whatever), I still feel like a voyeur, rubbernecking at an accident scene 1500 miles away. I don't know... I can't describe it well. The Celebrity Rehab and Intervention shows are the worst for me in that vein since rehab is so personal and so painful... why do I need to be part of that?
