  • Bachelor Nation(S): the Construction of Romantic Love and Audience Investment in the Bachelor/Ette in Australia and the United States
    . Volume 15, Issue 2 November 2018 Bachelor Nation(s): The construction of romantic love and audience investment in The Bachelor/ette in Australia and the United States Jodi McAlister, Deakin University, Australia Abstract: The Bachelor/ette is a franchise with iterations in multiple major Anglophone countries. It began in the USA in 2002, but in the last five years, new versions of the franchise have emerged, including in Australia (2013-). While The Bachelor/ette is an instantly recognisable global franchise, local cultural priorities inflect both the show and the ways in which audiences react to it. This article examines this phenomenon in two territories: Australia and the United States. It will outline the diegetic differences between the two franchises, and use two key case studies to elucidate, explore, and explain some of these divergences. These two case studies – the failed romances of Bachelorette Georgia Love and runner-up Matty Johnson in The Bachelorette Australia in 2016, and Bachelorette Rachel Lindsey and runner-up Peter Kraus in the US version of The Bachelorette in 2017 – represent two instances in which audiences became deeply invested in particular love stories. Thus, I closely read both case studies with references to major recaps. By doing so, I seek to shed light on the divergent romantic cultures of the United States and Australia, and show that while there are numerous overlaps and commonalities in these cultures, there are also distinct national preferences and desires around romantic love. Keywords: romantic love; The Bachelor; The Bachelorette; reality television; recaps Introduction In 2016, after Bachelorette Georgia Love rejected Matty Johnson in favour of Lee Elliott in the finale of the second season of The Bachelorette Australia, the reaction of the audience was one of disbelief and heartbreak.

It was the end of the pool season, but before the pool drained for the colder months, the Hinds pool committee thought it would be a fun thing to do for the dog owners in the community to let their pooches plunge in the pool. According to her owner, pool committee member Sarah Wakelin, Dottie had a great time at the pool although being a bulldog she sinks more than swims, but loved to splash around. The Hinds pool will go to the dogs again this Sunday – from 12 noon to 2pm. PHOTO LAURA BAGRIE Above – This pooch looks blissful as it enjoys a dip at the Hinds Community Pool. Thunder struck Firefighters were called to an area near Fairton after lightning splintered a tree, causing a nearby pump shed to fume. Fire and Emergency (Fenz) confirmed the strike caused smoking to the shed at a property near the intersection of Works Road and State Highway 1. A local farm manager said the strike splintered a tree, causing a current to travel to the shed about 40 metres away. Smoke could still be seen about 20 minutes later.

  • Project for Master Thesis: “A Comparison of Discourse Marker Use in American and New Zealand Women”
    Applicant: Samantha Pearson Supervisor: Professor Lenker Date: 13. July-10 August 2015 Studienbüro der Fakultät für Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaften Project for Master Thesis: “A Comparison of Discourse Marker Use in American and New Zealand Women” Having the opportunity to receive a grant from LMU has helped tremendously in my research for my master’s thesis, entitled: A Comparison of Discourse Marker Use in American and New Zealand Women. During the summer semester 2015 at LMU I began research for this project. In order to have the most accurate comparison available, I compared the reality television series The Bachelor and The Bachelor New Zealand. Both reality shows capture English dialogue in similar situations (male on female conversations, female on female conversations, and monologues directed at the camera crew and viewers) with a similar age range of female participants on each show. I analyzed four episodes of both The Bachelor and The Bachelor New Zealand. My results from this study suggested the New Zealand women care more about positive politeness than American women and that New Zealand women use just as a discourse marker in similar ways that American women use like as a discourse marker. I felt strongly that personal exposure to New Zealand English was necessary to progress further in my research for my master’s thesis. I flew to Christchurch, New Zealand on July 13th, 2015 and spent the next month assimilating myself to New Zealand culture and understanding how females participate in same and opposite sex conversation, along with their perceptions of The Bachelor New Zealand. With the help of the linguistics department at The University of Canterbury, I was also able to get 42 females, ages 18-25 years old, who have been living in New Zealand since they were five years old to complete my questionnaire.
