Just a rant really, I'm sat in Starbucks next to these two guys having a meeting about producing a TV show. One of them is the one with the idea and the other is an executive type producer person interviewing him. The idea guy has already filmed a pilot and the producer guy has watched it and they're having a follow up meeting. Basically it's a "reality" format and their meeting is all about how they would 'engineer' it better to make certain scenes happen. They've even acknowledged that it's a format that would probably attract people who are faking to get on the show, but agreed that it would be ok to let them on - as long as they could keep up the act lol!
As a reality TV fan it's really sad to hear and it makes me think of the kind of convo's that current BB producers must be having behind the scenes. I know we all see the manipulation anyway but it's still sad to hear from such a cynical business perspective how these things are made with no regard for authenticity, which is probably the most important thing in reality tv I think. OMG the producer guy just said that the idea guy would be too old to present it and is past his 'shelf life' - how rude lol! And he'd rather have someone like caroline flack! And guess which channel they think would be most "hungry for the content"...ch5! Says it all really |

"Reality" TV is a manufactured genre these days. In the same way there are "Indie" bands with big labels these days. It's a bit of a misnomer but it's the term used to describe the form of media.
