Hello everyone,

For a third year university media and cultural studies project I am studying the appeal of celebrities and docu-soaps. As part of this project I would like to hear what you,fans of reality tv,have to say. So I would be very grateful if you could discuss some of the following points...thanks very much

1.Give the following celebrity docusoaps marks out of 5 (5 being the highest)

-The Osbournes
-The Simple Life: Interns
-Tommy Lee Goes to College
-Newly Weds
-Hogan Knows Best
(feel free to name any other celebirty docu-soaps which deserve a mention)

2.With regard to the programme to which you gave the best rating, why do you think you like it...
-Main character(s) is/are humourous
-Main character(s) is/are down to earth
-Main character(s) is glamourous
-You can relate to the Main character(s)
-Other......................................
(please pick one or more point)

3.Do you think whether or not the star of a celebrity docu-soap deserves their fame is important to a show? Yes/No

4.Does this fact make it more entertaining?

Thanks very much for your time - there will be more questions to come depending on the success of these.
