A TV show I hate
Take me Out- The show you can surely live without

Take me Out is back, ready to leave you as a disturbed and paralysed wreck. This series, the dating show silently guarantees you the worst experience of a lifetime which includes special features such as: a comical-looking yet wooden host, a range of presumptuous, “plastic” Barbie dolls that come in all shapes and sizes, and lastly, but by no means least, recently spray tanned, egotistical males, who most of which, narrowly pass as men. Take Me Out is just one of the newest cringe-worthy dating show to hit your screens. The host plays cupid pairing up males and females which does nothing to improve Britain’s status instead making it seem a disgraceful country with no respect to the people of its population.

Paddy McGuinness, the host of Take Me Out. As well as managing to make the show nonsensical in record time, he has accomplished in deriving a whole new meaning of the word ‘host’. Belting out clichés, McGuinness spends the majority of his time prancing around the stage, in a brash fashion. How many times can you reuse a phrase, until it you not only abolish any meaning from it, you also become the most excruciatingly annoying host TV has ever known? If a guy is needed for this job, Paddy is your man. The host’s most common phrases consist of, “Let the hanky see the pankey,” and “Let the hokey see the cokey,” and finally, the most absurd of them all, “No likey, no lighty.” Overtime, these phrases become irritating and if you combine this with the shows ludicrous atmosphere you might as well be standing there saying, “I am an attention seeker!” No doubt anyone who did this would go unnoticed.

While on the topic of attention seekers, it would seem reasonable to bring in the girls. Staring at the screen, watching the show involuntarily as you are unable to stop, you may suddenly feel sick. Incredibly repulsed. However, once the host has gave you a piercing headache you suddenly get the whiff of stuck-up,

    What's Eating You Theory

    “What’s Eating You?” chronicles two different people every week who have severe eating disorders that they are trying to overcome. Now, there are several issues to discuss about the morality and complexity surrounding of this type of show, but a starting point would be the name of the show itself. The title “What’s Eating You?” has an almost facetious connotation that sets the tone for the viewer that the show may not be as psychologically complex or in depth as it should be. In any manner, “schadenfreude,” taking pleasure in the misfortune of others (Pozner), is a key element in audience appeal. Explaining the complex emotional and physical processes of the recovery of not one, but two individuals in the time slot of one hour doesn’t “cultivate awareness” as the advocates of the show claim it does. What it does do is provide an incomplete picture of recovery and treatment for those who don’t have much of an understanding. Another meaningful issue to point out is the fact that only two of the 14 participants are male while the rest are female. This feeds into the idea of gender essentialism, and how society views women as the weaker sex in terms of developing eating…

    There is so much TV on nowadays that you’d think I would find it easy to choose a programme to write about BUT I really struggled. There are some that I hate like reality TV, The Only Way is Essex and Made in Chelsea to name but two, with their ‘fake’ characters, ‘plastic’ Barbie Doll and Action Man personalities, looks and features. Then there is the ridiculous storylines, so unbelievable, anyone out there in the ‘real world’ agree with my thoughts? In fact if I’m being honest I have never managed to watch an episode of either all the way through!…

    Cbs's Reality TV

    CBS’s reality TV show, Hunted (2017), features 18 contestants-participants who agrees to give up their freedom to become fugitives for 28 days. Within these days, contestants are under surveillance by a team of professional law enforcement officers and the last group that survives, wins two hundred thousand dollars. Compared to other fictional TV shows, the Hunted is inexpensive to produce as there is no need for CBS to pay celebrity actors or keep the participants for more than one season. Most of these contestants are ordinary people who are looking for exposure or simply want to win the prize money. On the contrary, the combination of thriftiness, potential to attract an audience, and generate revenue is what entices the network. In particular,…

    TV shows can range from cartoons to reality and fiction, which makes a huge gap in between the three genres.

    Media today gives us gender stereotypes. From movies to television to even music videos, the entertainment industry gives people the image that males are more dominate over females by showing females as the foremost parental figure, homemakers, and sex objects. However, ABC's new hit show Desperate Housewives quickly made a dent in American pop culture not for these gender stereotypes, but the truth behind the most dominant female stereotype of housewives.…

    This is also a socially acceptable addiction, especially women who find this a key point in general conversation with friends and family. We must question whether TV talent programmes are really just a form of simple entertainment. It is also considered an acceptable form of family socialisation rather than engaging in activities such as going to a local park, taking walks or enjoying each others company over a meal, in a restaurant or at home which was common 20 years ago.…

    Talent TV, the Reality

    So you’ve decided to enter the talent TV show “Britain’s got talent,” due to the misleading nod’s and smiles of encouragement from your not really listening mother. Only to go to the producers auditions where, instead of picking just the talented acts and saving mislead people like yourself from public humiliation, send you through leaving you with the impression that you are in fact talented. Then comes the somewhat tedious public audition process, where if you’re lucky Simon Cowell will compare you to some kind of tone-deaf animal and that will be the end of it, however the slightly more unpropitious will be booed off stage by the audience themselves. However you will still have to wait and hear how horribly you did from each of the judges in turn and unnecessarily officialise that is a definite no before finally leaving the stage, your dreams and your ability to go out without being noticed as ‘that rejected contestant’ behind.…
