I have a very big problem with viewers who watch reality television such as Jersey Shore and Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Why is it that people waste away 30 mins to 1 hour of their life watching a show about the star-studded lives of other people? It doesn't make sense to me.

To create emotion that they can't find in their own lives. Even though it has no substance, it makes them feel like there a part of the drama.

Not exactly. It's more of the emotions than the stupidity, the fake drama created by the producers/directors/writers. The viewers look for a character whose personality is like theirs (but seemingly better) and try to connect with that character. They hate any character who opposes that character. The shows are just there to create emotions.
