assistance. The result was that of the group who were in a rush “10-percent stopped to help. Of the group who knew they had a few minutes to spare, 63-percent stopped” (Gladwell 161). Initially, it seems that the environment and situation that these contestants were in played a role in deciding whether they stopped or kept going. Although each participant read a Good Samaritan parable, ironically some of these participants still chose to ignore the injured person they passed along the way. These…

should not be a competition. While most people believe that beauty contests like ‘Miss America’ are just for entertainment, they are unaware of the stigma it creates and the damage it causes. There can be benefits to beauty pageants, such as how contestants can gain self esteem through pageants and develop skills that may be helpful for future jobs. Even though it is “illegal in the United States when practiced as discrimination, unequal treatment of women continues to pervade social life”…

It is one of the few television programs where every contestant in the show’s history has been a member of the LGBT community, and the show has done an excellent job of showing the many different kinds of backgrounds and points of view that can be found within the LGBT community.

pleasure, domestic tasks, and aesthetic pleasure. The former pageant contestants that defend the pageant were benefited by the pageant because they fit that narrow mold of beauty. In their eyes, it is a harmless-if not helpful-program, but it does not help the millions of American women that need money and are deserving of a scholarship, but do not fit that absolute mold that the pageant has created. The former pageant contestants also talk about how pageants developed their speaking skills and…

Stefani did it again during the show The Voice when she commented about Blake while the blind auditions was happening. It was also when a contestant who seems like a mix of Colbie Caillat and Norah Jones won their ears and all of them are trying to get her on their team. This is the part when the 90's pop singer said that she understands how the contestant might be sidetracked by the male coaches that they have on the show. She said that Pharrell is cute and commented that Shelton was handsome…

brought to light several different times in regards to the show. Advertainment is said to be “the merging of advertisement and entertainment programming, and hence provides insight into current developments in commercial culture” (Deery). Countless contestants of all three of the shows were said to have been there for the “wrong reasons.” This plays into the idea of advertainment because they are regular people looking for an easy way to fame and getting…

people a chance at love on reality TV? Although “The Bachelor” and “Bachelor in Paradise” take place in separate parts of the world and involve different types of people and elimination set ups, both are tv shows designed to help contestants fall in love. The contestants of “The Bachelor” change from year to year. Each season a new male is picked from the previous season of “The Bachelorette” to be the new bachelor of the season. He is usually the only returning person, everyone else is always…

airing encores and catch up programming. The reality show relies on their demographic of women aged 25-54 to become hooked and be dedicated viewers. The main motive behind most viewers continuing to watch is for the drama choreographed between the contestants, and the reassurance of the comparison of real life personal relationships and the fake, desperate relationships of the show. Advertisement breaks and strategic editing also builds suspense and certainty of viewership for the following…

TV shows have set up huge bonuses to encourage contestants. As a consequence, to get bonuses seems to be the only goal for them to participate in the programme. For example, the ultimate winner of Big Brother (a popular reality show in the UK) won a £70,000 prize in 2000, and Survivor ( an American reality show) arranged up to $1 million prize to the champion (The Telegraph,2000; BBC, 2000). This huge money is the main motivation for young contestants struggling in the show. Facing the intense…
