Putting some reality in reality shows

"Reality" shows turn out to be a lot more real than they seem. Contestants deprived of their personal possessions, of human contact, of a support network, of sleep, of privacy. Of dignity. Sounds a lot like some sort of prison, doesn't it? Or like working conditions that migrant laborers often have to endure in the shadows. And TV networks not only make a show out of it, they make millions out of degrading people in this way.
