show Toddlers and Tiaras? On one hand‚ I could argue that the premise of the show is too fanatical to be considered by any potential situations for use in their lives. However‚ on the other hand‚ the integration of personal issues and struggles into the dramatic storyline assists in blurring the distinction between what is constructed and what is the reality. Personal‚ financial‚ and family issues woven into the dramatic storyline misconstrues the belief that Toddlers and Tiaras is not only a reality
