In our lives or culture today, we watch television constantly and what we view we find entertaining. Whether it's a cruesome movie, we find it entertaining and cool. When it comes to reality television, shows such as "Jersey Shore", Desperate Housewives of New Jersey" and even "Survivor", we find these shows entertaining because it's real people and real situations. It is all drama that we as viewers feed off of. We love to watch drama and the fights between the people. We as the audience influence these shows, because we become huge fans of the reality shows. With all the viewers ratings, there are more seasons of shows. Survivor is in their like 20th season or something because we like seeing the drama and the challenges these people face. In "Jersey Shore", we as viewers, fell in love with the people and made them famous. We always want to snap a picture of them when we see them on the boardwalk. The reality television stars know viewers want drama and action, so they make it entertaining.
In "Jersey Shore", I like that show, I know it's dumb but the people in it make it very entertaining. Ronnie and Sam are fighting about that guy at the club Karma. Snooki and Dena make it funny with all the stupid dumb funny stuff they say and do. These people face these situations day to day, they create drama and fight about girls and guys. If you notice the stars have no TV's in the house or their rooms or cell phones, so they interact with each other and create drama and so they can put on a good show. Vinny, Pauly and Mike "The Situation", go to the club and always bring back girls that are DTF. Like honestly, I think these girls just go home with them just to say they were on the show. But in last seasons episode, Jenni and Sam fought each other and didn't talk for the longest time, now they became friends again. The other episode, Snooki gets arrested and created more drama and excitement because she was a drunk mess and made everyone laugh. People on the boardwalk were taking photos and staring as she was excorted by cops. "Jersey Shore" is on it's third well just ended their 3rd season, and it values the boys competition between bringing girls home, the "smarts" of Snooki and Deena" and how the boys bring home girls, debating whether they are grenades or not.
In the last episode of the Jersey Shore I saw, Ron got mad at Sammi for texting a friend to meet her at the club, Karma. Mike creates drama by telling Ronni about what the guy said and Ronni flipped. Sammi came out and yelled at Mike for getting into her business. Mike called up the guy and asked if he and Sammi hooked up or anything, he said they made out but nothing happened and Ron flipped. Earlier in the episode, Mike pulled on a prank on Deena and Snooki. Those two crazy girls thought they were going to a bar/restuarant, but Mike calls them a cab and sends them to NYC, they don't realize till they see the city and realize they are not going and were pranked. I'm sorry, I looked all over for a video of their drama, but none were good enough and if I gave a clip, it would be the whole episode. But here is a preview of what happened in their season three of all the stars in the Jersey Shore and you can see how much drama there is and how entertaining it is! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cwg00f7AbI
I watch this show almost every Thursday with my roommates or we watch the reruns. We watch it cause of the drama and the funny stuff they do and what they pull on each other. It just makes us laugh and feel like we are smarter. As our role of the viewer, our role is to make this show popular and make the show famous. We recite some of the lines that is said from the show and there are even T-shirts that have some sayings from the show. We make the show popular and make the reality starts popular by just watching it.
i feel the "smarts" of the girl snooki has pretty much defined her. to think that people can actually be so dam stupid, irresponsible, and down right annoying is some thing that boggles my mind. I feel if i watch more then 15 minutes of any reality show i become ever closer to becoming mentally retarded. By no means am i calling anyone who watches the show retarded... everyone likes what they like for their own reason. As for me i just cant stand it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about the stupidity of these cast members that we love so much though...and what does this really say about us as viewers? That's what I want to know.
ReplyDeleteThe concept behind survivor is hilarious to me. They took a bunch of Americans and send them to some tropical island for a few months, with the hopes of winning $1,000,000, just by living where peple who already live.
