Love on Televison: Genuine, Money or Fame ?

It has become quite a normal thing for people to seek love on television. There are a number of reality shows that are dedicated to someone finding love: What Chilli wants, Ray J, the Bachelor, Frank the Entertainer in the Basement affair, and Flavor of love. It makes you wonder, is it genuine search for love, is it fame, or is it money? Why is everyone running to television to find love, what happened to the normal drill where people meet and fall in love? To actively search for love on national television seems more like a search for fame.
I recently watched What Chilli wants on VH1, and it was amazing how one person can date all these men in hopes to find a husband and a baby in a very short time. Then again, chilli is a singer from TLC, a formerly popular pop group that is no longer as famous as it was. Is it a search for love, or a revival of the fame she once had?
The next issue in these shows is, they go through the finding love process and they say they have found the one.  However, on the next season you will find that they are still looking for love. Is it really love they are looking for or money from displaying their love life on television? Whether genuine or not, money and fame is definitely the issue at hand.
