Blog #8- Viewing an "reality" show

When viewing a reality show, it discusses what is going on in the real world. When I read the passage, "Video Dreams," it does show the similarilty of what the reality show discusses. The "reality" show that I viewed was "The Amazing Race." Basically it is about a team of two people who race around the world in order to win the one million cash. They do many things, such as detour, road block, and meet new people. For the detour, they either have a choice between two things, and the team have to pick one. The road block is when one member of the team have to perform the task. They follow each other, sometimes ask for help, and experience wonderful things on their journey. The book mentions that "reality" tv get polls, meaning that people are allow to rate how on good the show is, and it appears to on t.v. It also show culture, in which it affect the viewers to view the "reality" show. As the book mentions, "A game show element with an action adventure theme that invites viewers to imagine themselves in exciting outdoor situations that are exaggerated versions of the sort of adventure-safari vactions that had become very popular in the 1990s," the "Amazing Race" does relate to htis.
