@RealityBites
Thanks :-) I am just writing anything.
I have read many of your comments, you are expert, and even
your choice of username suggests that :-)
I didn't notice this resemblance earlier; you said correctly
that it is 'poor form of Big boss'.
Choosing another contestant among them for MJC, and bursting
each other balloons, it is same like Big-Boss.
I too suspected that there is something fishy going on at
weekends. Massages, grooming rest, food etc. haha :-D .
TV-Reality is different than
'Reality-they-want-us-to-believe'.
Recently I was watching 'grand finale' of 'hans baliye'. And
they showed some candid scenes of Judges. Generally we see, judge's comment
just after the contestants' performance. But in those candid shots, Judge
(Karishma) was commenting, and kept forgetting her words, and started laughing.
Then they must had shot that judgment after few takes. But we saw only the
finished version. (which gives us the impression, that judges are very good,
they don't make a mistake, and judge so
efficiently. When we think that both of
the judges are giving marks without consulting each other, they do consult and
discuss.)
And many times we notice that, they shoot two episodes of a
reality show on the same day ,and
telecast it on Sat-n-Sunday, But the
contestants and host, will keep referring to 'yesterday'. The singer, who just
sang one hour earlier, will say,
"yes, sir, kal mere gaane mein problem thee, maine practice
nahi ki thee"
Yes, they do this for audience's convenience. But they
change this reality to some 'relative-reality'
Or They will shoot a
lot in a day, but later they will separate scenes, and can make 'Day 1', 'Day
2' out of it.
And, Don't we know: Many times (mostly in
dance-grand-finales), we see judge's
performances too, about which they
tried to make us believe that this was shot during the show. But we can catch many times that this
performance was shot earlier, (without any audience, with lots of retakes
(giving time to change clothes too) , but it is being shown to us as it
happened during contestants' performance. They even mix audience shots with it.
This is 'fake-reality', somewhere between the 'reality' and
'fake'. :-)
I read this interesting news yesterday in newspaper. Let me
see, if online version is available.
We talk about, how 'Editing' changes the situation. But if only viewers and contestants complain
about this, people don't believe them. (you complain, because you lost)
But this is what , one person from the other side has
accepted:
Here is a part of that article.
economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4950536.cms
Sandip Sickand, freelance creative director, Balaji
Telefilms, believes that creative heads have to keep pace with an audience
that's still to grow up. He justifies the twists on the longest running soap
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi..., which bumped off characters and brought them back to
life on 'popular demand' , "It worked and viewers tuned in. But, the show ended
when it had run its course."
On Bigg Boss contestants claiming that only certain aspects
of their personality were highlighted to net TRPs, he accepts that a lot of the
spicing up happens on the editing table, with certain quotable quotes being
retained and highlighted.
He adds though, "The public ultimately knows what's true...
you can't fool them. And unless there's a connect, things don't work."
….
Wow, I didn't think about it earlier,
As you wrote, "There is one more thing the winner must have
acceptance amongst the TV watching audience in terms of middle class dreams
concept. A winner wld never be the one
who is rich and happy.
An interesting thing to notice is more than the winners of
reality show the runner ups and others get more work and succeed in carving a
career."
There must be some reasons. What can be the reasons for that
second part ?
OK complete it.
