Reality Television
I feel like reality television is not reality at all. Just as much as television shoes with scripts pick "pretty" people to play main parts, reality television works the same. Let's take the Real World for example; the people on it are always good looking. Millions of people turn in crazy videos to try to get themselves casted for the Real World, but no one unattractive is ever casted. They say you get casted because of diversity and spunk, but they cannot deny that looks have something to do with it. People watch televisione enough and see scripted things that make them think twice about the way they look and they want to see real people on "reality" televsion, but even that can't happen. Some might be excited for a reality show to come on because they want to see how other normal, real people live their lives when the "reality" of it all is that it's not real.

I think that people definitely are chosen to be on shows like this because of there looks. There are so many people out there who aren't attractive that have awesome personalities and would be great on shows like these, but they don't get the same chances.
ReplyDeleteI think when people watch reality shows, they wish their lives were like the peoples lives in the show. But when it comes down to it, a lot of what is happening is staged. In my journalism class we learned that the producers set up things to cause drama. They place alcohol in the situations, and do other things to make drama happen for a more entertaining show
ReplyDeleteShows such as the Real World are a good example of how people judge and perceive the cast members. You can clearly see on the first episode every person judging the other when they first meet. It's not hard to see that the looking glass self is shown through this show.
