Why won't reality stars go away?

This one caught my eye earlier today. Melissa Rycroft, who was the woman basically dumped at the last second on The Bachelor, got a gig as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. She's also been doing some work for Good Morning America. So you're wondering what kind of skill set does Melissa Rycroft have to be a reporter for these shows? The correct answer is none! Absolutely zero, which is painfully obvious if you watch her. The only thing she has ever done was appear on The Bachelor and garner some symphathy because she was dumped...which shouldn't be that big of an issue as she was dating someone herself while on the show. Oh, excuse me, she said they "broke up" beforehand but are now back together and are going to get married. The moral here. Let's stop giving jobs to undeserving people. Melissa Rycroft has done absolutely nothing to merit these gigs. Certainly being a reporter on ET isn't difficult as all you do is cover the latest installment of Twlight, but hiring her to be a reporter is on the same level as casting Ashlee Simpson in a tv show. Let's start having some standards and remember being on a reality show doesn't mean you have talent.
