If they lose, they can come write for my life.
I know two people who work/have worked for then show. It's a demanding job. Moreso than most people would think.
I'm sure it is a demanding job & I hope the writers do get to join the Guild. I'm poking fun at the notion that reality shows are different from scripted shows, and chronicle what "really" happens. Whereas the major differences seem to be only in the rate of pay for writers and professionalism of the actors.
