This week I decided to talk about the types of audiences and contestants of reality television shows that can be usually found.
Reality TV is a new development representing the creative side. The part that connects the entertainment and our audience has always shown the business side but reality is taking our people to a new level of entertainment. The types of audiences that are drawn to reality shows are the type that isn’t afraid of change and experimenting with new things.
There are many different types of reality sitcom contestants. The producers of these shows are looking for drama and things that will keep our audience interested. Rather than our producers telling us the types of people that are on the show we are expected to recognize the types that they present and about stereotypes. The reality TV producers are looking for some mixture of racial, ethnicity, sexual and gender diversity. Having these different types of qualities can also help our culture learn about different races and so on. This may be a positive thing about reality TV but may also result in a negative aspect. For an example, if there was a player of a different race doing something terrible then we may reflect our thoughts and feelings towards that race in a negative way because of what we seen on a television show. Also if may help our society not to have stereotypically people, like when we see a small woman doing a contest we automatically think she is weak but she may be the exact opposite. On such shows as the Bachelorette and the Bachelor it may bring woman’s self-confidence down because these handsome men and gorgeous women only go after good looking women and men. Survivor is a good example of expressing different types of ethnic groups and races. We need to be expressing different types of romances and thoughts of physical appearances to our society to show people that it isn’t always the prettiest girl or the most handsome man that are going to succeed in life.

ReplyDeleteI think one of the main things that the audience of reality television looks for is cultural diversity. If you watch sitcoms, you usually only see people from that region that the sitcom is set in. I also agree with you that we may reflect negatively upon certain ethnicities or genders. That's why I tend to steer clear from those one MTV. They seem scripted and the furthest thing from reality.
