It has produced stars such as Maven, Nidia, Ryback and The Miz. Currently in its sixth season, Tough Enough returns after a 4 years hiatus.

Like I said, the first episode paints almost all of them with a very bad image which cannot help them at the time of voting. In fact, Hank wasn’t the worst performing of the lot - and not even the blandest - but all his tidbits showed him to be jealous and nothing else. The contests should also become a bigger focus of the shows as this episode merely featured a fraction of it. The drills are really cruel and they create natural drama rather than the painfully scripted in-house fights. This, as a format, is great, but if it wants to hook in viewers, it would need to make the audiences genuinely care about the contestants – but only through their …show more content…

It was a little boring at first, which might have just been because I didn’t really want to see it in the first place, but the storyline was pretty good. I personally like humor, so I tend to pick shows that I know will have some humor, but I’m proud of myself for seeing something outside of my comfort zone.
Nevertheless, regardless of ratings, the finale and Survivor as a whole, ultimately altered the future of television. “In a matter of 13 weeks, CBS significantly launched the reality craze and had other producers and networks scrambling to find shows starring real people.” Network executives across Hollywood were swamped with pitches, writers, and regular people looking to make their big break on reality television. “A little show called Survivor came along and turned primetime television on its ear. Not only was the show a success, it became a cultural phenomenon. The audience has spoken and they have demonstrated that they have a huge appetite for this type of non-scripted
The failing television networks have found a number of elements in reality shows which can save them money. These elements have combined to improve rating, while also improving the amount of money brought into the networks. The networks have had pressure from stockholders to improve the return on their investments, or possible begin to lose their money. So the networks have discovered ways to save money with reality’ shows one being they haven’t had to pay actors. All the main characters of this shows are contests and only one will be ~paid” at the end. In addition to not paying actors, they have also been able to cut back greatly on the number of writers used to write scripts. The reality shows have been in a way been “pre-tested” in other nations. The U.S. networks know that the shows can be successful because of the success they have had in Europe. These facts have all come together ...
This story was my favorite this week. The main character is a very round character, well-developed, and I enjoyed
The shows portrays a melting pot of each character lives with money, sex, social media, and relationships unfiltered and toxic, yet irrelevant to the real –world. Another key point is the exploitation of the television world and the millions of viewers, that it’s okay sociably to exemplify deviant behaviors in real –life. Also, culturally and sociably, the reality show creates a bigger problem as the platform provided for the cast is characterized in a negative state. On the negative side, this creates the illusion to act in like manner, from the deviant behavior portrayed on
By 1958, no one was laughing anymore. Grabbing the attention of the public even more than the shows themselves were the scandals which emerged around them. The public's naive trust had evolved into suspicious cynicism because it had learned that many of the shows were rigged. As can be imagined, this caused great disgust among viewers. The supposed winners, for whom Americans had ro...
...s of image, misleading, and popularity have influenced the thoughts of people who watch reality shows. To me reality shows such as jersey shore, the housewives series have influenced as to how i see people who have the money are stuck up and have no idea what is really important to the world. That alot of Americans were embarassed to have those people represent the United States. I am embarrased that we as Americans, wach reality shows of other people who are no diffrent from we are and give them so much attenion for simply being broadcasted for misleading me how easy life is for them than for those who try to make a difference or that just beacause how popular they are with the younger genreation. We as people should give the image of trying to make our world better place for he not so forunate bu ae living pretty well, but for those who are not fortunae at all.
An author’s way of writing and portraying a character are one of the important things to note when reading a novel. Whether they use third or first person as their view point, have their main character have an underlying dark secret that is not revealed until the end of the novel. However an author wishes to write their novel, there is always a drawback to it. Kazuo Ishiguro’s way of writing his novel Never Let Me Go is in a first person perspective where the narrator, Kathy H., reassess her life of being a clone but the way Kathy remembers and discusses her memories of living in Hailsham is hindered by the fact she inputs her own feelings and thoughts into what happened in the past.
Do you think its fair that players are credited for what they do, when cheating the game? Mark McGwire excelled at the game of baseball and got credit for all of his accomplishments, yet he cheated the game and used steroids. Babe Ruth, considered one of the greatest baseball players to play the game of baseball, who never cheated and set a great example for all who play baseball. Baseball has drastically changed over the years, especially in the cheating scandals of steroids; Babe Ruth set a great example by excelling in the sport and doing it clean, contrasting with Mark McGwire. Their existence shows how society accepted honesty and doing it the clean way in Babe’s era and how society accepts the scandals and dishonesty of Mark’s era.
Can one pack rainbow sprinkles, moist cake, sweet icing, fierce competitiveness, and iconic celebrities all in one show? Cupcake Wars never fails to be a family show that everyone can sit around and watch. Throughout the show the audience will witness triumph, failure, and possibly even tears. Contestants enter the show at their own risk and only one can come out on top as a Cupcake War champion. Sugar and spice isn’t always nice Cupcake Wars is known for taking four semi-professional bakers and putting them through three different tasks, eliminating a contestant each round, until there is only two bakers left to win a cash prize of $10,000.
Although not all the characters in the show are likable, their rival-friends relationship is what makes the show sparkles. One of the elements that are also important to the success of a reality show are the quality of the content, in this context is the quality of the design produced by the contestants and how much they grew as a
Powerful individuals and social institutions have a great deal of influence over what is seen on television. Those with the most money can purchase the most media exposure, dominate the advertising field, and maximize their competitive advantage. Politics are often perfect examples of how money, power, and respect can cause an unbiased in an election. As another example, reality TV illustrates how prestige and wealth often form the basis for the most intense competitions within a society. Nearly all reality television shows use some sort of conflict over resources to keep their ratings going through the roof. It looks as though people easily associate to the manufactured struggles because of the conflicts that exist daily in their own
How would today’s world be if the technology that is known and loved by millions suddenly vanished? Could the world re-adapt to the lack of technology, or would it plummet into Darkness and Despair? In actuality, if someone can develop artificial intelligences to a certain limit he or she can prevent many of the world’s future problems. In a sense, Mankind can benefit greatly from the further use and development of Artificial Intelligence although some people would have one believe that the further development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can endanger large areas around the world.
There has always been controversy as to whether there should be regulations on reality tv shows or not It would be a positive gesture to hold regulations on reality tv. Although having regulations on reality tv limits violence, decreases bad ratings, and makes the show more family oriented, it can make the show less intriguing because it wouldn’t be as melodramatic, it wouldn’t be real if it had rules, and it limits the freedom of the people on the show.
Recent studies on parental involvement in education have found that there are many benefits for both the student and the adult when parents become involved in their children’s education. Without parent support, it is very difficult for a child to be motivated. From what I have seen growing up, only a small percentage of students are self-motivated, so it is absolutely vital that parents assist in the motivation process. I found this table to be particularly interesting and important.
