In chapter one of Jenkins book, he talks a lot about reality TV, specifically the show Survivor. He talks about how although the show lacks a specific script, it still has writers. I started researching reality tv show facts and I stumbled upon a short article on a fun site, Court TV 360. This article talks a lot about the same false information that we discussed in class. It says that the general people in these shows are truly unskilled and untrained actors who got into reality tv to become famous, and to make money. It also talks about the shows editors who will take these people and turn them into enemies and characters to provide more drama on the show. The future of this type of television show is on the internet.
