http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1154194,00.html Great article, Lars! It fits in with what I've pretty much known all along - that "reality" shows, like all TV shows, are "manipulated" (a more appropriate word) for dramatic effect. Some friends of mine were on a family "reality" show, "Meet Mister Mom" (http://www.nbc.com/Meet_Mister_Mom/). In this show, they take two large families where the mom runs the house, send the moms off to a spa for a week and give dad and the kids challenges. One challenge was a family game of football. My friends clobbered the other team (their kids are very athletic) but for the show the game became a tie. There's so much footage taken that they can present people and situations in whatever manner they wish. BATG was filmed over the course of a week or two, so it's a small sample of someone's personality in what I imagine is a stressful situation. You have to give credit to Tyson that he continually presents as a good guy in the show. (My daughter was sad when Tyson and Thais were eliminated). Random question for Tyson: My wife commented that "I'll bet those women never talked to any of the guys again after the show was done?" Can you prove her wrong? (I said I'd bet some ex-contestants send email back and forth). yeff Yahoo!
