  • 'Bachelor Pad 2' Recap Episode 2: Ames Brown
    ‘Bachelor Pad 2’ Recap Episode 2: Ames Brown Trumps them All By Lori Bizzoco Usually when a former Bachelor or Bachelorette leaves the show voluntarily, like two-time ‘Bachelor Pad’ contestant and swimsuit model, Gia Allemand did last night, it becomes the episode news headliner the next day. But last night’s storybook ending even knocked out coverage of the attention- seeking love triangle usually reserved for Jake Pavelka, Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl. It was a scene that leaves us understanding why even bad reality shows are beating out long- standing soap operas. You can’t make this stuff up! Last night there were two scenes that made single women everywhere believe in love again. First was the closing scene with Ivy-League, world-traveling, portfolio manager, Ames Brown. After he said a heartfelt good-bye to his newfound love and eliminated housemate, Jackie Gordon he turned around to head back towards the house. What happened next made hearts stop everywhere. Instead of continuing his walk toward the contestants, Ames slowly stopped, raised his hand and waved good-bye to them. Giving up the $250,000 prize, he sprinted back towards the limousine with Jackie inside. That fairy-tale exit trumped everything else on the show and gives romance fanatics a reason to believe that Mr. Right is a possibility, especially if you go after the awkwardly smart, rich guy wearing the hot pink pants. In Ames’ own words, “This is the happiest limo ride in Bachelor history.” The second love scene comes with ex’s, Michael Stagliano and children’s book author, Holly Durst.

  • Reality TV Personality Chris Harrison Partners with Seagram's Escapes: New Flavor Seagram's Escapes Tropical Rosé to Hit Sh
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Cheryl McLean 323-512-3822 [email protected] Reality TV Personality Chris Harrison Partners with Seagram’s Escapes: New Flavor Seagram’s Escapes Tropical Rosé to Hit Shelves this February Rochester, NY – One of reality TV’s most beloved stars is teaming up with one of America’s ​ favorite alcoholic beverage brands, and they’re a perfect match. Reality TV host and social media giant, Chris Harrison, is expanding into the alcoholic beverage space with a brand-new Seagram’s Escapes flavor: Tropical Rosé. The rosé style drink has just 100 calories, similar to seltzers, but is packed with much more taste and made with natural passion fruit and dragon fruit flavors. Tropical Rosé clocks in at 3.2 percent alcohol-by-volume and will be available nationally in four packs of 12-ounce cans starting in February. Harrison has been fully immersed in what is his first alcohol partnership, working closely with the Seagram’s Escapes team to craft the new drink’s flavor, name and packaging. “Creating Tropical Rosé has been a really hands-on experience for me,” said Harrison. “From the very beginning, I traveled with the Seagram’s Escapes team to their flavor house in Chicago to pick just the right color and the perfect fruit flavors. After we were happy with the drink, I had the opportunity to choose the name and weigh in on everything from packaging to advertising. I’m proud of Tropical Rosé and can’t wait for everyone to finally taste it.” “We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Chris and to share this drink with both our fans and his,” said Lisa Texido, Seagram’s Escapes brand manager.

  • The Heterosexual Economies of Emotion and Romance in the Bachelorette
    An Investment in Love: The Heterosexual Economies of Emotion and Romance in The Bachelorette Louisa Grenham Sociology and Anthropology Department of Swarthmore College April 30th, 2019 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Farha Ghannam for her kind encouragement and overall brilliance, Professor Maya Nadkarni for her guiding hand, Professor Fraga for watching the show, and finally Dietrich and Chaleo for their unwavering motivation and support. Table of Contents Introduction: Positioning Oneself Toward Feeling ......................................... 1-14 Tracing the Shadows of Affect ............................................................... 15-30 Marketed Selves, Invested Objects .......................................................... .31-51 Performance, Gender and The Emotive Economy ........................................ 52-70 Conclusion: In Exchange for Love ....................................................................................... 71-77 Introduction: Positioning Oneself Toward Feeling Mythologies around love and romance have long structured our comprehension of intimacy and connection. Love is probably one of the first emotions we made aware of, it is positioned as the thing that binds together the family, that is the reason for being brought into the world. Romantic love in particular is set as the creator of families, the reason for procreation and marriage. Love as an emotion has shifted into a fantastical realm where it is the reason behind our very creation, it is a nice thing to think we are born because of love. Love holds both status as an emotion and as a structure. I understand love, the felt emotion to be shaped by Love, the product of social and cultural power systems and hegemony which arranges our relationships. The latter is the piece I am most interested in, the ways that love has become co opted as a means to structure and regulate relationships, inextricably tied with sexuality and social position.

    Daily Courier We e k’sWor th THE TV MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2021 Nathan Fillion returns as THE ROOKIE for a fourth season on CBS ‘The Rookie’ returns after cliffhanger drama By Kyla Brewer TV Media Cop shows have been around practically since the dawn of television, and there’s still nothing quite like a good police drama, especially one with a nail-biting cliffhanger season finale. After months of waiting, anxious fans will finally find out what happens when a prime-time hit returns to the airwaves. Nathan Fillion reprises his role as John Nolan, a cop who sets out to find a col- league after she goes missing in the sea- son premiere of “The Rookie,” airing Sun- day on ABC. The debut marks the fourth season of the hour-long drama centered on Nolan, a 40-something cop — and oldest rookie in the history of the LAPD — who works at the Mid-Wilshire Division of the Los Ange- les Police Department. The police drama is the latest in a string of hits for Canadian-American actor Fillion, who rose to fame as Capt. Mal- colm Reynolds in the cult favorite TV series “Firefly” and its subsequent spinoff film, “Serenity” (2005), and as sleuthing mystery writer Richard Castle in the ABC crime drama “Castle.” Born and raised in Edmonton, Fillion moved south to pursue a career in acting, landing roles in TV shows “One Life to Live” and “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” and in the movie “Saving Private Ryan” (1998). Now, he’s leading the cast of one of prime time’s highest-rated network series: “The Rookie.” At the end of last season, pregnant Det.

  • The Bachelorette
    HAPPILY EVER AFTER AND THE BATTLE OF THE RACES: A CRITICAL AND CULTURAL APPROACH TO REALITY TELEVISION – THE BACHELORETTE VS. THE ULTIMATE MERGER by ANITA J. MIXON JASON BLACK, CO-CHAIR ROBIN BOYLORN, CO-CHAIR JEREMY BUTLER A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Communication Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2011 Copyright Anita J. Mixon 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The pervasiveness of reality television (RTV) can be observed by the sheer number of television shows that feature unscripted situations by non-actors thrust into seemingly “real” life situations. They range from shows like The Swan that promise to makeover an “ugly duckling into a beautiful swan,” to The Amazing Race where participants use feats of athleticism and strategy to win cash prizes, to “catfights” and hyper-masculine displays of manhood or hyper- feminine displays of womanhood on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette to prove one‟s ability to attract the heterosexual “love” of the eligible bachelor or bachelorette. RTV has become a place in which stereotypes are reinforced, antiquated gender roles are resurrected, and violators who dare to step outside of the clearly defined White, heterosexual, American box are punished. Reminiscent of American canonical narratives of love, coded messages of position and place are interwoven throughout the storylines in competitive dating RTV programs which could contribute to legitimizing a particularly framed perspective of racialized and gendered behavior and expectations. Through the analysis of six episodes of each of the RTV shows, The Bachelorette and The Ultimate Merger, and juxtaposing them, this study uncovers how competitive dating reality programs explain the current state of culture and gender performance within U.S.
