Dipping in and out of Irelands Dancing with the Stars. Thats generally what I do with reality tv.It equally draws and repels me I'm envious in some ways of their willingness to put themselves out there and try the Tango without any previous dance experience not so much the Bushtucker trials on I'm a Celebrity.First Sates, Don't Tell The Bride, half the time I'm genuinely hoping they are actors ,lots of it is staged! It's sad really because when we are children we don't think about being laughed at or failing. We start off  in Junior infants shouting 'Me , Me , Me!' when the teacher asks a question and as we go on along less hands are raised.We are afraid of being wrong. We start to think about our limits , what we can't do, what we would look stupid doing.Sometimes we do try something perceived as 'out of character' , healthier diet , Pilates , going on the dry for awhile .This doesn't always go down well with friends and family. It can hold a mirror up to things they don't like about themselves or we can no longer be blamed for being the one who leads them astray.We end up pigeon holing ourselves. It's amazing to see when people do branch out and people get used to them in their new incarnation how successful they can be.From model turned actresses slash fashion designer slash tv presenter. We often forget where  people started off.
