In The Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta pretend to be in a relationship to get more supporters to back them. Peeta actually cares for Katniss, but Katniss has no feelings for Peeta in the form of a relationship. In many reality T.V. shows, like Big Brother, you see people forming relationships and alliances with each other; however some of these relationships are not real. As a view you want to buy into the fact that two people find someone to be with but in the end majority of these relationships end up being one person using the other. One reality T.V. show, Jon and Kate plus Eight flowed the lives of Jon and Kate and how they handle raising their eight kids. On Big Brother over the past 13 years that it has been on, there have been numerous love stories and betrayers. Over all I believe there are only two couples that are still together from all of the relationships from all 13 years. Rob and Amber from Survivor All Stars is an example of a relationship that was formed well the two of them played the game. They also were a big hit on The Amazing Race, where they were still together on a team racing around the world for $50,000. To date they are still together and are going to go full cycle and get married, which will by CBS starting May 24. It seems as though they may have just found true love or they are both still paling with America, just to get more money out of putting the story on CBS. Only time will tell. All of these relationship start out as a strategical decisions just like the relationship between Peeta and Katniss is; however as a view we eat it up, maybe because we want to see some people fall in love and we want that to happen to us.

Yeah thats definitely a big reason we watch this garbage. We all have voids in our lives that we're trying to fill, and we find it always interesting to watch other people "achieve" the happiness that we seek.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think that we are too wrapped up in other peoples lives that we want there to be love because that is just one more thing to talk about. It gives us another since of connection with the people on the tv shows and also makes it seem like if they find happiness and love so can we.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship are fake! You make a good point! We find it interesting to watch though because of the stimuli that causes our interest! Do they really love each other or is a search for fans by pretending!
ReplyDeleteAre these relationships fake? Just because two people end up separating, does that mean that the time they were together meant nothing? Are reality stars humans just like you and I and able to make and feel personal connections with others???
ReplyDeleteI agree that in most reality t.v. shows Ive seen people make treaties with another person just to benefit for themselves. As soon as they don't need this treaty anymore they will just turn on the other person. I do believe as audience it is very stunning when people break these promises even though it happens all the time. It just makes the audience feel as if they need to keep watching because they don't know what is going to happen next.
