Ethical Perspectives on Reality Television: Parenting Docu-Soaps, Makeover Shows, and Parodies of Reality Dating Programs Ethical Perspectives on Reality Television: Parenting Docu-Soaps, Makeover Shows, and Parodies of Reality Dating Programs Benjamin John Healey BA (Honours), University of Queensland A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Communication and Arts Healey 2 Abstract This thesis argues that certain characteristics of reality television subgenres are likely to consistently produce ethical problems in programs belonging to those subgenres. Through the ethical analysis of cases studies from three subgenres of reality television, I also demonstrate the relative value of various normative ethical frameworks in analysing ethical problems in reality programming. I also argue that popular, non-academic criticisms of reality television act as implicit ethical judgements that align with formal criticisms from normative ethics. My first chapter addresses the ethical problems of informed consent, agency and representation in Extreme Guide to Parenting (Bravo 2014) and Toddlers & Tiaras (TLC 2008–13), two docu-soap programs that feature children. I find that a Kantian deontological perspective largely disapproves of children’s involvement in reality television, and these objections are echoed by similar arguments from documentary ethics. A perspective from the utilitarian arguments of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, conversely, may in some cases approve or disapprove of children’s participation in docu- soaps, depending on whether the production of these programs is seen to generally contribute to wider happiness. A utilitarian evaluation of the ethical goods and harms of docu-soaps production and reception has parallels with debates in documentary ethics over the function of documentary as a general public good. In my second chapter, I reformulate popular journalistic criticisms of makeover programs Snog Marry Avoid? (BBC Three 2008–13) and The Biggest Loser Australia (Network Ten 2006–) along explicitly ethical lines via Kantian deontology and Julia Driver’s hybrid of virtue and consequentialist ethics. I draw on theoretical perspectives regarding self-transformation and therapy culture in order to evaluate the moral and practical status of makeover programs’ humiliation of subjects and their stated therapeutic projects. I argue that the individual subjects of these programs are deployed to reinforce dominant discourses regarding class, gender, national identity and neoliberal self-governance in the United Kingdom and Australia. My third chapter studies three reflexive parodies of reality television, UnREAL (Lifetime 2015–), Sex House (Onion Digital Studios 2012), and Nathan for You (Comedy Central 2013–), to consider how and why these programs comment on perceived ethical problems in reality television and the format’s status in wider culture. I refer to theories of parody, satire, and mockumentary programming, and argue that my case studies use Healey 3 shocking depictions of reality television production in order to encourage audience scrutiny of their referent reality programs. Similarly to mockumentary programs, these case studies challenge reality programming’s ability to present factuality, and emphasise differences of power between reality producer, subject, and audience to critique the form. In this thesis, I argue that particular ethical issues in reality television reflect ideas and strategies embedded in reality television programming at a subgeneric level. I demonstrate the validity of Kantian deontology, utilitarian consequentialism and a hybrid consequentialist-virtue ethics framework as a means of identifying and assessing the validity of various ethical criticisms of reality television. These ethical criticisms, I argue, also circulate in popular culture, albeit at an implicit level. This study demonstrates the connection between the ethical study of reality television and the cultural and historical influences that characterise contemporary reality television.

In a brief statement, Bachelor in Paradise’s production company, Warner Bros., attributed the sudden halt in production to “allegations of misconduct on the set.” Over the following days, more details emerged from contestants, leaks, and rumours via social media: contestant Corinne Olympios alleged that she had been too intoxicated to consent to a sexual interaction with fellow contestant DeMario Jackson. Implied in these allegations was that the Bachelor in Paradise producers were negligent at best, and complicit at worst, in allowing what amounted to sexual assault

    PAGE 1 Devin Alexander www.devinalexander.com BBQ-Bacon Meat Loaf From “The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook” Bread crumbs are traditionally used in meat loaf and meatballs to add moisture to the finished dish and, sometimes, even to add bulk to stretch the meat for your dollar. I often use oatmeal instead as it will do the trick to create moist and delicious dishes while adding fiber—it’s not just a bunch of white flour. I don’t add too much because I still want the dishes to be predominantly protein-based, but it’s very important to add some, especially with leaner meat like chicken and turkey breast. With the right recipe, turkey and chicken loaves can taste just as fattening as their beef counterparts! Got leftovers? Use them to make my BBQ-Bacon Meat Loaf Sandwich (page 62). Olive oil spray 1 cup chopped red onion Photo: Mitch Mandel 4 slices extra-lean turkey bacon, chopped 2⁄3 cup old-fashioned oats 1⁄2 cup fat-free milk 1 pound extra-lean ground chicken breast 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten 1 clove fresh garlic, minced 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1⁄8 teaspoon salt 1⁄3 cup barbecue sauce (7 grams carbohydrates or less per 2 tablespoons) Preheat the oven 350°F. Lightly mist a 9" °— 5" °— 3" nonstick loaf pan with the olive oil spray. Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly mist the pan with spray and add the onion and bacon.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Weighty Words? Translating the Biggest Loser for European Audiences
    DOI 10.36145/DoC2020.16 Antony Hoyte-West Independent scholar, United Kingdom [email protected] ORCID ID: 0000-0003-4410-6520 Weighty Words? Translating The Biggest Loser for European Audiences Abstract: First shown in the United States in 2004, The Biggest Loser is one of the most successful and enduring reality television shows. The format has been exported internationally, and domestic variants of the show remain extremely popular in many European countries. From a translation perspective, however, the title of the show provides a challenge, as the original English conveys not only the idea of losing weight, but also the oxymoronic notion of a ‘loser’ ironically being a winner. This contribution, therefore, provides an overview of the strategies used to deal with this issue through examination of the local titles given to The Biggest Loser in thirteen European countries. An initial analysis aimed to ascertain if the title had actually been translated into the local language, either fully or partially, taking into account associated cultural implications regarding English language proficiency. Subsequently, the titles were examined to see if aspects of the original were present, such as wordplay and the element of transformation. Finally, the titles were analysed to see if there were any common geographical or linguistic similarities between the various translation strategies. 74 Antony Hoyte-West Key words: The Biggest Loser, title, translation, reality television Introduction With reality television programmes seemingly ubiquitous around the globe, the issue of adapting generic formats to local languages, cultures, and trends is well-attested in the literature (for example, see Moran, 2008, 2009; Chalaby, 2011; Almaimam, 2012; Mikos, & Perrotta, 2012; Zimdars 2019).

  • Lamin Sanneh, 76 Pioneering Religious Historian Who Studied the World Wide Spread of Christianity
    The Washington Post January 16, 2019 Lamin Sanneh, 76 Pioneering religious historian who studied the world wide spread of Christianity An undated photo of Lamin Sanneh, a Yale Divinity School professor who studied the spread of Islam and Christianity. (Yale Divinity School) by Harrison Smith Lamin Sanneh, a Yale Divinity School professor who was raised a Muslim, converted to Christianity and became a leading scholar of both religions, most notably as a pioneer in the study of Christianity’s transformation from a Western institution into a world-spanning faith, died Jan. 6 at a hospital in New Haven, Conn. He was 76. The cause was complications from a stroke, said his son Kelefa Sanneh, a staff writer at the New Yorker. Raised in the tiny West African nation of Gambia, Dr. Sanneh had a dignified, even regal bearing that betrayed his royal lineage. He traced his ancestry to the rulers of Kaabu, a successor state of the Mali Empire, although by the time he was born that empire had given way to years of British colonial rule. While his father made a modest living working for the British government, Dr. Sanneh was “summoned from the margin,” as he put it in the title of his 2012 autobiography, pulled by God or fate or sheer force of will from a Gambian backwater to college in the United States, and later to graduate school in Britain and teaching posts at Harvard and Yale. The author or editor of 20 books and more than 200 scholarly articles, he focused primarily on Christian missions and missionaries, and on the church’s development into a diverse, international religion with a majority of members scattered throughout Africa, Latin America and Asia.
