By now, we've all read multiple stories on Super Bowl ads and their cost, as well as all the other items having to do with marketing and "the big game."

When you think of reality television, what do you think of? My guess is its most likely Mark Burnett. He started the whole reality craze with "Survivor."

It shouldn't surprise anyone that most of the answers that flowed from the question I asked with last week's column revolved around having established a clear objective.
