Who's watching it? It started last week in Brazil. I'm sure it's almost done for you guys. It's funny how they choose weird/interesting people that have nothing to do with it to get there. It's for our pure entertainment, right?!:D
It has been on hiatus for months. I think they will have one more season and it will be over. It has run it's course and the ratings are dipping.

That sucks. We have the Brazilian version and the 3rd season has just finished. I'm not sure if it's over, but the guy who used to present the show will start another reality show to get a PARTNER. Now how crazy is that?:eek:

these reality shows are merely exercises in editing. they create any argument, point of tension or story line they want by cutting together footage. I don't watch them, but alot of people do so who am I to deny them their entertainment.
....the first series of the Amazing Race was good though.

YES. It is true, but what can we do? Like you said, it's entertaining! It's so "real" *ahem*. Hihihihi! I like the mean guys, the stupid ones, the nervous ones. I just love them all!:p

Donald trump is one sexy man!
Really , what a nice hair du he got!
The Apprentice is really bad with the editing. In the boardroom they edit in voiceovers by Trump and the audio is obviously canned. It is a shame that they stage scenes and drop in voiceovers.
I worked in TV news for years and some reporters and photogs/videographers crossed the line of ethics and set-up shots and situations. I was always a person that would wait for 30 minutes to get a shot instead of asking a person---hey, pick that up or say this. It is sad that people can't be happy with the REALITY of life. People just seem to want to make things more exciting or dramatic in their eyes.

the media are making 'reality'. for instance what I see on tv about America is going to influence what I think reality is over there. in my mind you're all buxom blonde life guards who live next to each other in New York apartments and like to shoot up school children.

kinda close to the truth!

I have heard that before.....when I travel people tell me that they form opinions of Americans from film and media. That is sad. I form my own opinions thru reading, watching news and talking to people...then I decide in my heart what is right. I guess that is why opinions are so subjective and varied.

sure it's sad, but it's unavoidable. everyone gets most of their information about other cultures from the media. indeed, the media is the prime source of our own personal knowledge and attitudes. that's why, for instance, there's such a slanted view of Arabs in the US and elsewhere. the media constantly bombards the public with images of violence and danger, which perpetuates the stereotype of the Arab as a terrorist.

They killed the image in my head of a Arab riding a camel and wearing pointy genie shoes.
