Television reality without a pity

Recently, several network executed and reality TV producers admitted that there’s a creative crisis in the genre now. Apart from them now who can do anything to these programs.  Television producers and executives are taking more risk so that they hit they show. But according to me due to lot of scripting and taking lot of effort real world becomes a lot more mediocre. Networks should pull the programs. Programs like seven people living together in a house are not that great anymore. This generation or this era lives in diversity. For the producers every year is a difficult one.

The characters’ in scripted world feels more real than the people on reality shows. The sense of real creative energy is quite low. Whereas 10 years ago the scripted world was as boring as it could get and non-fiction was in there with all these innovative formats, now it’s completely reversed. It’s a creative crisis. There is a high motivation on the buyer and seller’s parts to keep doing the same thing. Everything you wanted to know about the reality shows.

In reality shows there are no live feeds, the Twitter popularity index works, sometimes the shows back fires, shows lack for weakness, contestants get injured, past and their present comes into limelight, shows speaks about humanity, imbalance between contestants, what happens in the whole week. The producers have to produce the show as per the real time. When we talked about other shows that have aired in real time and used viewer votes to affect the game, Big Boss have/have not votes. Honestly, I’ve never seen a show where element of social media actually felt like it worked. It always felt like an afterthought to me, it always felt something that didn’t matter. I was very conscious of trying to figure out a format in which Indian really could affect something other than should they eat oats and chapatti bhaji all week. I thought that was an important part of the game. What better way to get story in real time for contestants on a show than for them to realize India thinks they are the most hated? Does that change your behavior? That, I haven’t seen before. I’ve never seen something where you have a true effect on how someone acts in the game. The shows which are telecasted are totally scripted ones. So audience has lot there keen interest in them and wants something which is innovative and unique.
