Reality TV World Message Board Forums
PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Skewed Reality TV"
This is my first actual post (as opposed to a reply), so here goes nothing...

I've watched both seasons of the Apprentice (for the most part it's the only reality TV show I watch) and I've noticed that they pull a lot of camera tricks and mood music during certain scenes. Whenever the candidates do something that's going to be called a stupid move later, you get a kind of goofy music playing int he background for example. There are some scenes though, where without that music, I believe I'd never think of what they did as being a mistake. So my question is, how much do you think little editing tricks like this manipulate your view of who is incompetent, or scheming, or brilliant, etc?
