...ahhh - but do "reality" stars deserve to break into tv/soaps/films etc,
ahead of the countless 1000's of talented individuals, who struggle in this area?
....is true talent being stifled, for cheap-frills and sensationalism?

yep - I must admit that I'm with you on that one. Being a musician/drama type, I can think of several incredibly talented people I know who have spent their lives working damn hard towards getting their big break.... and still nothing...
however, the 'reality' stars seem to be what Joe Public wants to a certain extent - and I guess that means opportunities suddenly present themselves in an unexpected way. And who can blame them for making the most of it?!
