If my life was captured by cameras, it would be boring. Me going to work. Me seeing friends. Talking about nothing too compelling. Eating. Sleeping. Rinse. Repeat.

So is that why the drama in the Hills seem contrived and scripted? Because normal people aren’t that ambitious…of drama and success?

We want to watch a main character that reaches for success and jumps at every opportunity. We don’t want to watch someone who constantly fail. In some sense, we want to live through the main character to achieve the dreams that we are afraid to reach.
