From Good To Worse With No Less Talent

I went and appeared on a t.v reality show And instead of changing my life and making me a star It ruined my life and made it worse instead It never made me and i didn't become famous afterwards like they said it would And now they won't even take my calls Because they are way to busy auditioning new contestants for this year's show And i am yesterday's news And the same fate awaits this year's fresh meat they just don't know it yet Famous so long as the camera's are rolling And once the series finally comes to it's inevitable end so do the privileges and lifestyle with it Kicked back to the day job only this time with a soured taste of the good life

Love this Christopher. There's nothing more unreal than reality TV.

To me Gary it's the very definition of Oxymoron . Reality = Unreal Talent = Talentless

Nothing tv, media, like better than putting somebody up on a pedestal and see it ripped from beneath them, don’t watch reality tv myself Christopher, like your poem says, it’s on to the fresh meat but the same old stale format, cheers David
