Are there too many reality shows on TV? Virginia and Pablo, two of our students, give us their opinions

Realities are programs where there are real people and not fictional characters in a series that are interpreted by actors.

First we can say that today there is a great variety of realities about dating as “Who wants to marry my son?”, “Who wants to marry my mother?” or “A prince for Corina”,  about kitchen as “Master chef” or “Top chef”, about famous as “The island with the celebrities” or “Alaska and Mario”, about singers “Your face  is familiar for me”, etc.

But realities all are equal and there is nothing educational. It should have more series, movies or documentaries but the TV is based on the audience and there are more programs as the realities because people like laughing at other people and that is the reason that we find very strange people on realities.

(Virginia)

Every time I turn on the Spanish television, I’m sure to find a reality show on most channels. In my opinion, there are definitely too many reality shows (I  said “rubbish program”) on TV for the following reasons:

Firstly, there are several daily reality shows in the public channels.

Secondly, there is a channel, whose owner is Berlusconi, and which only make reality shows, even in protected time.

Finally, the rest of the private channels do the same.

I think that public channels should never have reality shows, so it should show culture programs and films in original version. Also, Berlusconi’s channels should be closed because it doesn’t obey the TV’s laws.

I think that these programs wouldn’t  exist when:

a). We distinguish between public (awards, world champions, works of the people) and private affairs (relationships, weddings, …). Channels only should show public affairs.

b). We eliminate double morality:

If a woman works in “the oldest world’s work” with other person and earn a few euros, they can be fined with one thousand euros and we think that they have done a bad thing.

But if the same woman stay with a famous person in a luxury hotel, she can go to these programs (such as “Salvame”,…) and earn in five hours more money than in all her life and this program will be the most watched program of the day.

P.S. This text is dedicated to Isaac, who hates these programs.

(Pablo)

Faith Hill today in our class!

Faith Hill (born Audrey Faith Perry; September 21, 1967) is an American country pop singer and occasional actress. Her voice type is a mezzo-soprano. She is married to Country superstar Tim McGraw, with whom she has recorded several successful duets. Hill has sold more than 40 million records worldwide.

Hill's first two albums, Take Me as I Am (1993) and It Matters to Me (1995), established her as a popular country singer. The pair placed a combined three No. 1's on Billboard's country charts and each received multi-platinum certifications in the U.S. But the release of her next two albums, Faith (1998) and Breathe (1999), brought Hill mainstream, crossover and international success, by achieving high positions and huge sales globally. Faith spawned her first international hit, "This Kiss", and went multi-platinum in various countries. Breathe became her best-selling album to date and one of the best-selling country albums of all time, with her best known single, "Breathe". It went multi-platinum in several countries around the world and earned Hill three Grammy Awards, including Best Country Album. In 2001, she recorded "There You'll Be" for the soundtrack of the movie Pearl Harbor and the song became an international success and her best-selling single in Europe. Hill's next two albums, Cry (2002) and Fireflies (2005), kept her mainstream popularity. The former went multi-platinum and got another crossover single, "Cry", which won Hill a Grammy Award. The latter went multi-platinum as well, with the success of the singles "Mississippi Girl" and "Like We Never Loved at All", which earned her another Grammy Award.

Hill has won five Grammy Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, four American Music Awards and several other awards. Her Soul2Soul II Tour 2006 with McGraw became the highest-grossing country tour of all time. In 2001, she was named one of the "30 Most Powerful Women in America" by Ladies Home Journal. In 2009, Billboard named her as the No. 1 Adult Contemporary artist of the 2000 decade and also as the 39th best artist. Hill was, from 2007 to 2012, the voice of NBC Sunday Night Football's intro song.
