standards

Phillip is at a business dinner tonight and I'm channel surfing and tidying our room since it is the last room in the house to get clean. Somehow I started watching another reality t.v. show. I wonder how that happened? How many reality t.v. shows are there? It seems like all of them are about winning and involve either popular vote or being judged by people that are respected in whatever profession they are in. Possibly I'm over thinking it but - since we have embraced relativism and rejected almost all authority in every other area of our lives isn't it interresting that thousands flock to stand under some sort of standard?
