A: Yes. People are living in a reality TV show. They're distorting reality with what they see on television and try to live like them and it's affecting people's lives.

A: No. People are just the way they are. They would try to get attention whether there was reality TV or not.

A: "I think it is kind of to blame sometimes. The crazier they are the more crazy things people will do to try to get on."

Josh Arias, Edna resident, head cook

A: "No, I don't think the reality shows are to blame. It's the dad and the momma and the crazy kid."

  • No, I just think this is the way they live. Storm chasing sounds kinda fun to me, but I love excitement. Of course, they did go to extreme limits to get attention.
