I thought about this as well but reality TV shows are still enough of a spectacle that it's clear that big money is involved. Survivor placed the contestants on an island competing in elaborate challenges with camera's everywhere for a million dollar prize. The Bachelor featured a wealthy suitor/suitress and a dozen attractive people of the opposite sex dressed in ridiculously expensive clothing again with camera's everywhere doing extravagant things. Anyone can end up on YouTube, only certain people can end up on TV and viewers always have this in the back of their minds.
