Reality Show Genre Blindness: Difference between revisions

** Recent episodes seem to have the cover story thought up on a case-by-case basis; for example, a waste treatment company had the CEO go undercover as an employee from a company closed for pollution codes violations being the subject of a documentary on him working as various "clean" industries.

* Inverted on a FOX reality/talent show where the contestants were "dared" to do something like recite a scene of a Shakespeare play with no errors or learn to play or sing a song in key by a certain timeframe. Naturally, they never ''fully'' expect what the dare was going to be, since it was ''rarely'' the same and often wasn't a hobby they did.

* In the latest series of ''I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here'', Gillian McKeith so far seems amazingly genre-blind, apparently unaware that the contestant who makes the most fuss about the Bushtucker Trials will inevitably be voted by the public to do every single one (and that anyone who goes on this show risks being covered in snakes, insects, etc. at some point). Not to mention the news that the next trial is called "school dinners" — as disgusting food challenges are one of the most famous parts of the show, the rest of her team make the obvious (and correct) guess that this challenge would be an eating one. McKeith suggested that maybe she'd be asked to ''plan'' a school dinner.

* Fictional, but averted in ''Sims Big Brother''. Most of the characters actually seem to know ''very well'' what they're doing or how the game works. The closest example would have to be Keri, who didn't ''really'' know what she was getting into, but this actually became [[Character Development]] as she became ''scarily'' competent later on.
