Fuck being an actor or trained in any kind of theatrical arts these days - you won't need it in the future, soon even Hollywood will stop using actors for films and instead just get a bunch of "real" people and film them going about their daily lives.
When I was a kid there were actual TV shows - they had actors doing exciting stuff in well written plots and stuff. VERY hard to come by these days.
The reality TV-show participant is the TV equivalent of the immigrant worker. Cheaper, non-union, easier to find, easier to replace.

Personally I have noticed that I can throw away my TV and just watch things on the web from yesteryear as these reality TV things hold no interest for me at all - fuck 'em and fuck anyone who wants to be on reality TV.
Quick test:
- Fonzie going "ayyyy" vs :- Someone showing you round a house "and here is the kitchen..."
- The General Lee jumping over a haystack vs :- Some people laying on a beach talking.
- Mulder & Scully being chased by an alien vs :- Someone making a trifle.
- Johnny Depp chasing people round in a police car vs :- a Swedish woman buying covers for the sofa.
Crap eh. Fuck TV.
