A fateful encounter with a savvy young producer lands aspiring writer Olena Day the role of America's bachelorette on the new reality show The One. There are just two problems: Olena despises reality TV, and technically she's not single. What could she possibly hope to gain? A book deal? But Olena's made it clear; she won't resort to the stereotypical antics often portrayed by women on reality TV. But ratings rule and the producers have plans of their own to assure the show's success even if it means exposing some of Olena's long-held and most embarrassing secrets. Jason Nix is a former NFL superstar turned TV sports commentator. He's been dating Olena off and on for almost a year. Financially, he's set for life, but he isn't happy. When Olena's preoccupation with reality show stardom puts their relationship on the rocks, he meets a young woman from Dallas who captivates him in ways no other woman has. There's something about the makeup-free, Bible-toting Texan that Jason can't seem to get enough of, and soon makes him wonder whether she's too good to be true, or if the real problem is she's not Olena. Step behind the scenes of the highly competitive and unique world of reality dating shows, in this relationship-driven page-turner that keeps delivering surprises.
I must admit I also have an addiction to reality tv. I find drama release watching and a grateful attitude for not being like them or being involved in the things they get into. Personally, I find that they give regular women a bad name. What is a man to think about the drama, the pettiness, and backstabbing...oh, and let's not forget the slutty behavior. I also wonder if it is scripted, afterall do people really act this way day to day, hour by hour and like you I think that a change occurs where the person has become a character in the program and has a need or obligation to behave on a certain way. Do I think Kim on RHOA is as dumb as she acts, Teresa of RHONJ as much in denial as she comes across, Drita on Mob Wives as mouthy and tough as nails as she portrays, and Vicki on RHOOC as innocent as she wants to come across (and Tamara as "victimized")... The list goes on and on. They all have one thing in common - they are a "character" bigger than life.Do you think Alex from RHONY would have gotten a modeling contract if she wasn't on the show. I think there is a reward for bad and outrageous behavior - look at how many talk shows and mentions Snooky has. The more they behave this way maybe it allows you to release that is behavior inside as the viewer. (Carla Carlson 11:54am February 15, 2012)
The networks have lost ideas and are just going along with anything they can come up with to sell programming on tv. I think that's sad. I think back at shows that were out a few years ago for the kids - shows like "American Bandstand" that were more tame, yet gave them something to look forward to and gave them good role models. Today, most of what I see I would categorize as "trash tv." I can't believe that anyone would even want to participate in such shows, although I'm sure that they're hard up for money. It's a shame our Country is going downhill the way it is, and our kids aren't being shown any values. (Peggy Roberson 2:20pm February 15, 2012)
I think it's tough to have all that reality hyped up when most women just want to understand what's going on in their own life better. (Alyson Widen 5:39pm February 15, 2012)
I watched a couple of shows of reality TV and it didn't do it for me. I don't watch TV much anyway, I love to read and I find that the spare time I do have I would rather be reading a good book than watching TV. With that said..please keep writing these Fantastic books for me. Thanks. (Margie Gagarin 3:30pm February 18, 2012)
