European television had the idea of taking ordinary people and turning them into “stars ”by putting them in unusual situation .”Big Brother”(created in Holland )was one of the first.A group of people were locked in a small house with cameras running 24 hours a day .It was called a “watch and dial ”show because viewers vote by telephone to decide who should leave or stay.
81.
“Big Brother” was probably the fist of the new reality shows,but such a programme has developed.Many have found appeal by having a theme to them,but most are based on the principle of “survival of the fittest ”by eliminating participants as the series progresses .So we have the dating shows where winners either pair off or stay true to their partners outside the TV studio .Then there are those that test people’s abilities for specific jobs like running a kitchen, becoming an interior designer or a top model .
82.
Critics say these programmes are basically bad television, but people watch them. So why are there so many of them? For the viewer it’s an opportunity to “people watch”.It’s natural to like watching other people. They’re interesting.We can imagine what we would do in that situation.We get to know the characters and see them grow and develop week after week.And of course, television is the perfect place to watch people.Like the theatre or cinema we can look at other people and they can’t look back .But with television, we can watch in the privacy of our own homes, We watch,but we don’t have to admit it to anyone .
83.
The TV companies like reality shows because they are cheap to produce and attract younger viewers, which advertisers like.The last “Big Brother” in Britain attracted enormous advertising revenue. They aren’t dependent on “star” actors with enormous salaries. And your actors won’t go on strike. And why do people participate in them ?Well ,for fame and money of course.In the past ,appearing on television wasn’t for ordinary people.You had to be good at something ,like sport, or reading the news, or acting .But not any more
84.
It seems that most shows do well at the beginning but then the viewing figures begin to fall .And it varies from country to country too. For example ,one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father,and another had a family arguing over an inheritance .Both were cancelled after one episode.Perhaps the novelty has worn off.Certainly, reality TV seems to appeal much more to the younger audience. And now there are so many shows around even the young have become more critical. Reality show will probably survive—it’s just no longer so easy to make a successful one .

欧洲的电视媒体想出一个让普通百姓通过一个特殊的途径成为名星的一个点子。荷兰出现了第一个真人秀节目《老大哥》(Big Brother)
他们让选手在一处秘密地点封闭地共同生活。这段生活的所有细节都被屋内无处不在的摄像机和麦克风录下来,制作成每天半小时或一小时的电视节目。之所以称为是电视互动节目是因为守候在电视机前的观众可以通过电话来投票决定淘汰哪一个参赛者,能够坚持到最后的即为大奖获得者。

《老大哥》或许是第一个真人秀节目,但是其后的类似节目却在蓬勃发展。出现了许多带有主题色彩的真人秀,但是大多数都是基于“适者生存”之类的一系列淘汰选手的规则。所以我们设置了一些邀请展示,让那些胜者和其他的搭档们走出影棚。然后就有了测试人们特殊技能的诸如经营餐馆、成为室内设计师以及超级模特之类的真人秀节目。

评论家说这类节目基本属于垃圾节目,但是人们还是在观看。所以为什么有相当数量的真人节目存在着呢?因为对于观众来说这是一个关注人们的好机会。这就像你看到其他人一样的自然。他们对此很感兴趣。我们能想象在那种状态下我们会做什么。我们认识了参赛者并且看他们在一周周的时间里不断的成长。当然,电视是一个完美的观察人的地方。像剧场和电影院一样,我们可以看到其他的人,但是他们不能回头看我们。但是有了电视,我们可以在家这个私密比较好的地方观看,同时我们也不需要向任何人承认什么。
B.Audience’s reaction to reality TV
观众对于成人秀的反响

像真人秀节目那样的电视公司,因为节目制作的成本很低而且能够吸引不少的年轻观众,所以广告商们对这类节目很喜欢。在英国播放的最新一集的《老大哥》吸引到了巨大的广告利润。节目本身不依赖大牌明星。因此演员们不会罢工不演。那为什么还有人会参与进来呢?是的,当然是为了出名和金钱。在过去,老百姓是没啥机会上电视的。你除非有擅长的东西,像是善于运动或者阅读新闻或者会演戏。
D.Attractions for producers and participants
对于制片商和参与者的吸引力

有这样一种情况,大多数的真人秀节目在开始初期表现不错,但是到后来观众的数量就急剧下降。而且这类节目在每个国家的反响也各有所异。
比如说,有一个节目是让孩子们辨认出自己亲爸爸,而另一档节目是一家人在为了遗产继承而争论不休。这两档节目在播完第一段后就被取消了。或许此类节目的新奇感已经荡然无存了。当然,真对于年轻观众的真人秀节目越来越多。如今即使年轻人对节目的要求越来越高,但仍然有很多的真人秀节目出现。真人秀节目或许是存活下来了,但不同的是制作一档成功的真人秀节目却不像以前那样来得那么容易。
A.Current situation and future of reality shows
