My children told me; my wife told me. One morning they entered my drawing room, the five of them. Fire, water, air, earth, sky — are the names of these five. They can create men; also destroy men at whim. They do whatever they fancy. The very avatar of might. I ask them: “When will you kill me?” The leader replied: “Now. We’ll kill you right now. Today is very auspicious. Say your prayers. Have you bathed? Have you had your meal?” “Why will you kill me? What is my crime? What evil deed have I done?” I asked them again. “Are you a poet who pens gobbledygook and drivel? Or do you consider yourself a seer with oracular powers? Or are you a madman?” asked the leader. “I know that I’m neither of the first two beings. I cannot tell you about the last one. How can I myself tell whether I’m unhinged or not?” The leader said: “You can be whatever you would like to be. We are not concerned about this or that. We will kill you now. Our mission is to kill men.” I ask: “In what manner will you kill me? Will you cut me with a knife? Will you shoot me? Will you club me to death?” “We will shoot you.” “With which gun will you shoot me then? Made in India, or made in another country?” “Foreign made. All of them made in Germany, made in Russia, or made in China. We don’t use guns made in India. Let alone good guns, India cannot even make plastic flowers. When asked to make plastic flowers India can only produce toothbrushes.” I said: “That’s a good thing. Of what use are plastic flowers without any fragrance?” vi The leader said: “No one keeps toothbrushes in vases to do up a room. In life a little embellishment has its part.” “Whatever it may be, if you must shoot me please shoot me with a gun made in India. I don’t want to die from a foreign bullet. You see, I love India very much.” “That can never be. Your wish cannot be granted. Don’t ever mention Bharat to us.” Saying this, they left without killing me; as if they didn’t do anything at all. Being fastidious about death I escaped with my life. Thangjam Ibopishak Singh, 2003.

Adaptácie svetovo úspešných formátov reality šou na Slovensku [Adaptations of worldwide succesful formats of reality shows in Slovakia]. Brno: Janáčkova akademie múzických umění v Brně, Divadelní fakulta, Ateliér rozhlasové a televizní dramaturgie a scenáristiky, rok. 2017 s.93. Vedúci diplomovej práce doc. MgA. Marek Hlavica, Ph.D. Anotácia Reality šou je televízny žáner obsahujúci množstvo rozličných formátov. Viaceré z nich vzbudili záujem po celom svete a prostredníctvom licencií boli predané do rozličných krajín. Hoci bolo nevyhnutné dodržiavať základné rysy formátu, každá jedna národná adaptácia sa v niečom musela prispôsobiť publiku, prípadne dala programu iný ráz. Táto diplomová práca sa zaoberá slovenskými verziami vybraných zahraničných formátov. Konkrétne ide o Farmár hľadá ženu, Mama, ožeň ma, Návštevníkov a Ostrov. Annotation Reality show is a television genre which includes various broadcasts. Many of them excited worldwide interest and were sold to diverse countries. Even thought it’s inevitable to respect the basic format, every country had to adapt to their own spectators or modified the character of a TV show in some way. This thesis deals with the slovakian versions of selected foreign reality show formats. Concretely it refers to Farmer Wants a Wife, Who Wants to Marry My Son, Anno (The Visitors in slovak) and Survivor (The Island in slovak).

  • Complete International Survivor Seasons
    Complete International Survivor Seasons Anthony Bonato, Nicole Eikmeier, Rehan Malik In this document, we compile collected data for the international seasons of Survivor for which voting information is available online. Players are listed in order, with the winners at the top, and the player who was eliminated first at the bottom. A note about the labeling of the seasons. The naming of the seasons is highly inconsistent, but follows the convention from the Wiki pages, from https://survivor.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page. There are between 11 and 27 players in any given game. We excluded several International seasons of Survivor, we list them here with the reason they were excluded: 1. The page exists, but there is no voting data: Expeditie Robinson 2010-2014, 2017; Expedition Robinson 1998, 2003-2005, VIP; Extreme Azerbaijan; Into the Shangri-La; Koh Lanta: La Guerre des Chefs; Expedition Robinson VIP; Robinson Ekspeditionen 2009, 2015, 2016, 2018; Robinsonekspedisjonen 2008, 2015; Suvivor Slovenija: Filipini 2. The rules are significantly different (in particular when few contestants remain): Las Isla: El Reality 2012-2017 3. There is voting information, but too much of the voting information is unknown: La Selva de los FamoS.O.S.
