Just watching America's Next Top Model (and before you all say it yes I probably am being unreasonable just for watching that haha) ... anyway there is one contestant on there that constantly goes on about - I was one of five kids, I had to raise them, we have no money - I deserve to win for that reason.
There have been many others, I should win because I'm gay and been bullied throughout my life because of it, my mother doesn't love me, I grew up in a trailer park, I'm plus size etc - therefore I deserve to win.
Same as other shows such a X Factor, or even The Apprentice - where having grown up on a council estate entitles you to win.
I'm not cold hearted, I wouldn't kick a puppy for example haha. But at the same time I just think we all have problems in our past and present and obstacles that we've had to overcome - background, appearance, relationships.
I don't think this entitles anyone to anything in a competition.
Or am I just being unreasonable and have a heart of stone?
