Reality TV is a vicious cycle. On a lot of shows (some of the more structured competitions, like Project Runway, aren't this way), the producers are out to make the contestants look crazy, whether they are or not. I think people are on to this, so the only people who would choose to go on reality shows in the first place are, you guessed it, a little crazy.
