FYI - I worked on 2 different #RealityTV shows in #Canada & after those lived work experiences - told everyone I could - don't agree to go on these shows. It's almost all scripted, not reality. Crews are forced to put pressure on voluntary participants - who rarely know WTF they're signing up for & producers exploit naivety. Don't chase easy fame/easy money - they both come at high personal costs. Don't agree to be traumatized on TV, for money. You'll regret it.
On a different #RealityTV show shot in #VancouverBC - lost my shit on some shitty privileged cast members. For trying to treat me & several other head crew like we were their personal servants.
Bitch - NO.
We control your public image. I got my revenge in ruthless edits. Same privileged low life rich bitches who abused me & others, tried kissing my ass after finding out I'll not put up with their BS & can make them look more horrible to public than they already are.
I started watching it as a filler between two seasons of Survivor (the best TV game show ever) and wow... It started a bit slow, but once it gets its stride... Oh boy...
Imagine. It's like a giant game of mafia/werewolves taking place in a Scottish castle and it's hosted by Alan Cumming who is the most over-the-toppish fabously host on TV ever.
Seriously, if you like social games, Alan Cumming, Scotland, reality TV (but the good one, the competitive one, not the fabricated drama one) watch this show.
Thank you @realityblurred for making me watch. I'm up to date with Season 2, and these past two episodes were on the same level as the best episodes of Survivor.
The all-conquering #realityTV format; competitors do tasks each week, one wins (happy face), one leaves the show (sad face);
from the new wedding planning show, to the established #pottery throw-down, from the now (I think cancelled) dog grooming to the frankly weird #makeup series; from the long established Aprentice, to any number of #baking & #cooking shows.... and the great woodworking one.
my only Q. is: is there any professional (or amateur) activity the format cannot be applied to?
It’s so tragic that TV channels that used to teach you things (HGTV, cooking, science) all turned into reality TV. It’s all so empty and meaningless now :/
Reality TV is watched by tens of millions of people around the world — but how "real" should it be? USA Today spoke to experts including @realityblurred about what audiences are owed by cast members, and how much privacy they're entitled to — for example, around new relationships or serious health situations. What do you think?
But even though potential harm from reality policing is neither abstract nor unlikely—a new study from a [#Harvard#PublicPolicy#researcher found that #LivePD cameras increase arrests for low-level “quality-of-life” offenses that ended up targeting lower-income communities by nearly 20 percent—they receive a fraction of the attention from #copaganda critics as scripted #police TV. ]
Tried watching the American version of #FarmerWantsAWife and there were 2 God mentions and 1 hunting mention in the first 15 minutes so I think I'll go back to the Aussie version 😐 #RealityTV
"The Joe Schmo Show" is coming back, "Jury Duty" recently finished airing on Amazon's Freevee, and "Prank Panel," a Johnny Knoxville-fronted series, just launched. Here's a look at the return of high-concept prank shows — is this a welcome bit of fun, or a nasty surprise?
It's #Newstodon Friday again and today we have something very very special! We have 3 new or newly awakened accounts from folks in our newsroom...follow them & give them all your best #fediverse tips!
I'm so excited for Johan Svenson, one of my friends, who's a host in Peacock's upcoming "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning", produced by Amy Poehler:
We're honored to be joined by Gilles De Coster, host of our favorite Belgian reality TV game show - De Mol - to talk about the process, inspirations, and execution of the sublime game design behind its thrilling, subversive challenges
We spend the first hour giving all the context you'll need to follow along, before diving into the interview. This is a special one for us, check it out!
Husband: "Thank goodness they don't do #RealityTV in #StarTrek."
Me: "Oh but they do. And in fact one of them is the most watched show across the entire United Federation of Planets."
Husband: <getting worried> "And what is that?"
Me: "Keeping up with the Cardassians."
Husband: <throws coffee at me>
Das Geschäft mit Reality-TV-Formaten floriert, doch hinter der schillernden Fassade offenbaren sich auch Schattenseiten. Wie Vollbild-Recherchen zeigen, soll es am Set eines RTL-Reality-Formats zu einem sexuellen Übergriff gekommen sein.
Kinda late to this but my current #RealityTV obsession is #LoveAfterDivorce on Netflix. So wholesome and refreshing to see people with regular jobs not all influencers/models! Also the screen captions make me laugh like GLANCE 👀
