■ ▪︎ What happened to TV production companies?

■ ▪︎ Ten to twenty years ago, they used to accept reality show formats from random people, but now they seem like secret societies. We’ve been watching the same formats for twenty years, with little to no innovation on their part.

Whats the best reality tv show ever?

Okay, settle a debate for me: what's the greatest reality TV show of all time? 🍿

I'm not talking "guilty pleasure" — I mean the one you'd defend in a court of law. The one you've rewatched. The one that lives rent-free in your brain.

Drop your pick 👇 (and yes, you have to defend it)

Help finding the reality show

Okay guys, good old Google and AI failed me so Reddit is my last option. I’m trying to remember a name of a reality show - I watched a few clips on YouTube and it included a lesbian couple. I’ll try to describe all that I remember.
So basically it seemed like a classic dating reality show I think they were on an island of sorts or villa? The show was heterosexual. But there was one woman (blond I think) who mentioned having an unresolved connection with a woman back home.
Surprise surprise, some time later the show brought this woman into the show so that they can explore. She was also blond and I think had shorter hair.

That’s literally all I know. I think it was English speaking but tbh could have been German or something. Please help?

How has reality TV affected you?

Are you a Gen Z or Millennial woman that watched reality TV as a teenager? I'm conducting research for my graduate thesis on the audience impact of reality TV on young women, and I'd love to hear your experiences with the genre (and specific shows) and how it affected you (body image, mental health, etc.) Feel free to DM me or share your stories below! Thank you <3

Sydney and jack opportunity

The fact that Leah made Sydney and jack getting this opportunity to go to Paris Fashion week about her is absolutely insane. Hannah and Olivia also chiming in did not make any sense. If Leah made this agency about being a nanny and her friend was offered a job, why would you not be happy for your friend to get this opportunity? If roles were reversed, Leah would’ve taken the job and left everyone else. Making the opportunity all about her was so sad and it showed that Leah only cared about herself and no one else.

Hannah might have been on her side because Leah is her boss but also that was unfair to even get involved into. Olivia is only getting involved because she is feeling guilt about going against Leah.

MAN THIS IS SO SAD AND SELFISH.

Surviving the jungle (Netflix): why are all these quasi reality game shows literally the same

I’m not s fan of survivor shows, but with Jason Bateman listed as an executive producer, I thought they might have put some interesting twist on the concept. I was obviously completely wrong in my assumption.

It’s literally the same: sexism, machismo, toxic masculinity, bullying I mean all the stuff you get in real life you don’t really feel too tempted to watch it on TV too.

Nobody is really likeable except a few of the women and maybe one man. There is nobody I’m rooting for.

The team with three men and one woman are toxic assholes constantly trying to demoralize the woman and succeeding.

On the other team with more women, this guy keeps repeating he’s a former special agent and then his spear gets broken when he goes fishing and brings absolutely nothing. Like bruh.

These people have been supposedly in the jungle with limited caloric intake for three weeks, but nobody has lost any muscle or any weight.

It would be far more interesting if they chose people who have zero survival or outdoors experience and the only way forward is for them to collaborate and use whatever remnants of knowledge somebody has to actually truly figure out how to make fire, how to get clean water, how to get sustenance in this environment.
These people who claimed to have been farm hands in California and hike guys or alligator wrestlers etc, are mostly full of it I think, looking at the skills they are bringing, but also it’s just not that interesting to watch for me because they are not relatable to the usual viewer. Now take an office manager and put them out there. It might be more fun to watch.

I love trash tv.

I'm all about taking out my brain and watching trash TV, just to escape the real world. However what's ruining it for me is the OVERUSED phrase, "At the end of the day."

Start paying attention every time you hear it. if this were to become a drinking game, we'd all be in rehab.

some thoughts and predictions of lockupp season 2

i think shivangi joshi will not do well in lockupp as she is a big tv star and i think she will be very image consious in lockupp she will be there in show for most of time because of trp but i dont think she will go further

if i talk about yogesh rawat i think he will be the hot topic for lockupp he will be in most fights and will be a kind of trp booster for lockupp i think his winning chances are not that high but i think he is definately making it to finals

varun urf laila would have won the show if it is based on only voting lines but i don"t think thats the case but i think he will also make it to finals and will be the trp booster of the season i dont think he will fight as much as arush bhola in rise and fall or yogesh rawat in the show but i think he will be the most entertaining contestent

i dont think akanksha will make it far in the show i think she is only there because of the yogesh contreversy but i think she can be irritating in the show she will not be the most likeable contestent and i think she will fail in show like this and be a average performer

i think ram kapoor is going just for fun he will do fun and i dont think he will go to finale but he will definatly go further because of popularity and i dont think anyone will fight him because of his senior citizen card

what are your thoughts and predictions?

Why Dheeraj Dhoopar entering Lock Upp Season 2 is either a genius move or a massive risk. What are your predictions?

​So, Dheeraj Dhoopar Superstar is officially locked inside the jail for Lock Upp Season 2 starting June 27!

​As a fan of reality TV, I am incredibly intrigued. On one hand, you have a certified television icon who has nothing left to prove in the fiction world. On the other hand, Lock Upp is a brutal, unfiltered beast where secrets are exposed, and friendships are tested under extreme pressure.

​What can fans expect?

Expect the unexpected. We are going to see a side of Dheeraj that isn't scripted by a writer. We’ll see how he reacts under provocation, how he leads a team during high-intensity tasks, and how he plays the strategic social game.

​Does he have the winner trajectory?

The first season was won by Munawar, who played a brilliant, calculated game. Dheeraj brings a different flavor, pure stardom mixed with a competitive edge. If he handles Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh’s trials with maturity and clear-headedness, he could easily go all the way to the finale. The fandom is already mobilized, but the real test will be winning over the neutral OTT audience.

​Is he your early pick for the winner's trophy? Who else do you think can give him a tough fight inside? Drop your theories! 👇
