I understand that part of being a Recognizable Personality means being either adored or hated. There is no gray area.   I understand that implicit in having adoration for someone (“LOVE her hair!”) is some level of insecurity and self-hatred (“Wish MY hair was that great…”).   I also understand that implicit in hating someone (“What is up with her breastbone?”) is the attempt to make oneself feel better about themselves (“She may be rich and pretty, but at least my clavicle doesn’t poke out like a drumstick.” By the way, I’m not rich.   More on that later.).   In other words, it’s a sign of insecurity and self-hatred.   Remember high school? Remember how making fun of someone else always felt SO GOOD? Why? “At least I’m not like HER.”

I also understand that being a Recognizable Personality – especially on Reality TV – puts a big bull’s-eye on one’s back, regardless of how well (or poorly) you do your job.   Regardless of the end product.   Part of being on Reality TV – at least in my experience – is that people will judge you in every way without regard for your talent and expertise.   This is part of the package.   It’s human nature to categorize (Bedroom, bathroom, nice hair, gross shoes); to deny our own shortcomings and flaws by pointing out other people’s poor choice in clothing or boyfriends.  We Recognizable Personalities and the audience are all human.   The disadvantage of being on TV is that I don’t get to watch the audience.   Guess I’ll have to rely on my own self-worth and talent.   Do the best job I’ve been hired to do to the best of my ability.   My clavicle and I hope we make you feel better.
