[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about reality shows???

Bethenny Frankel posted on her Insta a rather compelling case for reality stars who get paid peanuts and don’t get residuals—noting reality shows became important during the last strike (in terms of generating new content).

She’s not wrong. [/quote]

Previous strikes are what gave rise to the inane reality TV shows[/quote]

And the people on them get paid to live their lives, not create any new, original content out of their brains like writers and actors must do to make their livings. I do admit, the [i]lower-level[/i] reality participants (not Frankel!) get crappy pay--a few thousand for a season sometimes, not commensurate with the hours they spend on these shows...living their lives. But if they feel they deserve more pay, they should get organized and form their own union. End of story. They shouldn't be out there right now trying to [i]ride the coattails[/i] of the actors' strike to make their own claims. What they do and what actors do, and the training and experience actors have to accrue to do their jobs well and stay employed, are not comparable at all. [/quote]
