He and Chance appeared together on two seasons of Real Chance of Love , starting in 2008. They had made their reality show debuts on the VH1 dating series I Love New York in 2007 and also starred in Real and Chance: The Legend Hunters in 2010. Real also appeared on the cable network's show I Love Money . Real had felt ill in January 2013, suffering flu-like symptoms, and was misdiagnosed several times before he was told in March 2013 that he had stage 4 colon cancer. He told UrbanDaily.com in early 2014 that his doctor was too emotional to deliver the news and that another one did so in her place, telling him, "You have about two weeks to live. I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do for you." Real told the website that his mother was with him at the time and that he had to call his wife and tell her the news, which was the hardest part. Almost exactly one year ago, he penned a moving tribute to his wife on Instagram, saying, "If it wasn't for this beautiful woman, I don't know where if be or if I would be doing as well as I'm doing." He underwent chemotherapy and at least two surgeries to remove cancerous cells in his colon and liver. He was also treated for a brain tumor, according to UrbanDaily.com. "God was number one and my family was number two," he said. "God just really blessed me with abreast strong support system. I just kept a positive outlook. And on those days when I was down, I didn't let anybody see that because I didn't want them to get down. My son kept me going because I knew he needed me and I needed him so I fought to be here for him."

The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Russo, Richard. Chances Are…. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2019. The novel opens in 2015. Lincoln, Teddy, and Mickey are three friends who are currently in their mid-sixties. They arrive on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. They have been friends for decades but have not always kept in close touch. They originally met as undergraduates at Minerva College in the late 1960s. Lincoln was raised in a small town in Arizona by a domineering father. Lincoln attended Minerva College at the behest of his mother. In her will, Lincoln’s mother left him a house on Martha’s Vineyard. Lincoln has never lived in the house, but he rented it out to generate revenue. Teddy is originally from the Midwest, and his parents led secular lives. However, in his youth, Teddy became interested in religion and began attending church. Mickey was raised in a working-class family in West Haven, Connecticut. He attended Minerva after scoring a high SAT score. He is now a musician and an audio engineer. In 1971, after graduating from college, Lincoln, Teddy, and Mickey vacationed at the house with their friend Jacy. They all had romantic feelings for Jacy, but she was engaged to another man. At the end of the vacation, Jacy mysteriously disappeared and was never seen again. Teddy was traumatized by the disappearance, and he became averse to romantic relationships. Teddy and Mickey are unmarried. Lincoln has been married for years and has several children and grandchildren. After Lincoln, Teddy, and Mickey arrive on the island in 2015, Lincoln decides to attempt another investigation into Jacy’s disappearance. At first, he suspects that Jacy may have been killed by a misanthropic neighbor named Mason Troyer. In 1971, Mason sexually assaulted Jacy. However, Mason has a solid alibi. Eventually, Mickey tells Lincoln and Teddy the truth about Jacy’s disappearance. Lincoln and Teddy already know that Mickey fled to Canada in 1971 to escape the Vietnam War draft. However, they did not know that Jacy went with him in order to escape her impending wedding and her abusive family life. A few years later, Jacy died of a degenerative brain disorder while she and Mickey were still living in Canada. In 1974, Mickey returned to the United States. After learning the truth of Jacy’s disappearance, Lincoln and Teddy feel a sense of closure. One of the reasons Lincoln came to the island was to try to sell the house there that he inherited from his mother. However, he decides that it would be betrayal of her memory if he sold it. Due to the sense of closure that Teddy feels from hearing the truth of Jacy’s disappearance, he feels a renewed sense of openness and excitement towards life in general. Chances Are by RelenaFanel. relenafanel: Bucky Barnes at 20: I can never tell Steve I love him even if we live to be 100. Bucky Barnes at 20: Well if we live to be 100… Bucky Barnes at 20: I suppose then it’s a sign that I should. Bucky Barnes at 100: fuck now I gotta. [this is the biggest cliche to ever cliche] “So,” Bucky hedged, two days after his birthday because that was how long it had taken him to get up the nerve after he’d realized just after midnight on the day he turned 100. He’d laughed, a bit hysterically, at his ceiling for that one. “When you were younger did you ever make stupid promises to yourself that you never expected to have to make good on?” Steve shrugged as he broke another egg into the bowl. That was number seven, which meant he was making eggs for Bucky too. It should make him smile, but instead he was watching Steve intently for any hint understanding. The lack of reaction was disappointing, even though rationally Bucky knew it would have taken effort for him to be more vague. “I suppose,” Steve answered. “I promised myself when I was eight and recovering from my second bout of pneumonia that year that I’d get big and strong.” He frowned. “I guess I lived up to that. That kind of promise?” “Not exactly…” Bucky told him. “More like that you’d do something if something happened that you figured there was zero chance in hell of actually happening.” “I promised to take Peggy dancing after I made it off the Valkyrie, even though I didn’t expect to survive it.” For fucksakes, Bucky barely refrained from rolling his eyes.

  • Guilty by Association: an Analysis of Shaunie O'neal's Online/On-Air
    Journal of Research on Women andJournal Gender of Research 40 on Women and Gender Guilty by association: Volume 5, 40-61 © The Author(s) 2014 An analysis of Shaunie O’Neal’s Reprints and Permission: email [email protected] Texas Digital Library: online/on-air image restoration tactics http://www.tdl.org Mia Moody-Ramirez, Isla Hamilton-Short, and Kathryn Mitchell “He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.” —Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack Abstract The growing use of social media as a source of networking has spurred a growing interest in using the medium as a tool for image repair. Broadening the application of Benoit’s image repair theory, this case study looks at the image repair tactics of Shaunie O’Neal who became a celebrity during her marriage to former NBA basketball player Shaquille O’Neal, their subse- quent divorce, and the creation of her VH1 show, Basketball Wives (BBW). Throughout the four seasons of BBW, O’Neal’s cast members perpetuated negative stereotypes of Black women such as “the angry Black woman,” “the Jezebel” and “the tragic mulatto.” While O’Neal did not exhibit these characteristics on the show, she became guilty by association. To repair her tarnished image, the reality TV actress used her Facebook and Twitter feeds and episodes of Season 4 of BBW to implement various image repair tactics. Study findings indicate episodes of a reality TV show and social media may provide a viable platform for a celebrity to repair his or her tarnished image; however, tactics must be authentic and consistent.

  • Reality, Tv, Celebrity
    REALITY / TV / CELEBRITY David Raskin A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Communication Studies. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Richard C. Cante Reader: Carole Blair Reader: Lawrence Grossberg ABSTRACT DAVID RASKIN: Reality / TV / Celebrity (Under the direction of Richard C. Cante) This research addresses the construction of personae on reality television series. Given Richard Dyer’s formulation of stardom as a balance of ordinary and extraordinary qualities, this paper seeks to understand how a reality television participant, lacking any traditional performance talent, could be articulated as extraordinary. Kenneth Burke’s concept of “mystery” as a desirability attached to objects atop a social hierarchy is used to help explicate the qualities of extraordinariness in reality TV stardom. Comparative formal analyses of three reality “star texts” delineate the differences between two women who attain limited fame and one who achieves wider stardom. It is concluded that two qualities are necessary to transcending the usual limits of reality television fame: the articulation of social power (closely tied to class); and the appearance of freedom and agency, even when under the constant surveillance of producers and camera operators. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a debt of gratitude to a number of colleagues and friends who have informed and responded to my ideas during this writing process, but none more than Rich Cante and Scott Selberg. I also would not have come to this particular project without Dee Jacobs and Matt Zankowski, whose tastes helped me to find the diamond in the pablum.
