What is it about reality television shows that attracts so many viewers? Perhaps it's somewhat therapeutic to see that other people have ups and downs in life, making one's own problems feel a bit a less isolating. When it comes to financial crises, it seems even TV celebrities veer off the tracks once in a while. That's been evident on the Real Housewives of New Jersey show, where more than one cast member has discovered the need for debt relief.
