Reality TV

mitch, you should ask john fink about his view on reality tv when he visits. reality tv has a cathartic effect in part because it's (re)constructed that way. to have a beginning, middle and end. to have a climax. to have cliff hangers.

the events are planned and videotaped for maximum drama, sexuality, excitement, etc., then in the editing phase, these strategic situations are further honed into drama, into compelling or titillating narratives, etc. pete
