A chance encounter with The Amazing Race filming at the Reunification Palace in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on 23 July 2009. We were looking through the fence, when we heard a large SLAM behind us. It was two blokes scrambling out of a cab. They ran off to our left, and entered the grounds. There was a small delay – I guess they were getting cameras into place and dumping backpacks. Then they ran across the road in front of us to our right, where we could see Phil the host standing with a film crew. I believe I started filming just as we were yelling out “Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!” by way of support – of course, they’re American. The girls we then filmed were the second pair in. They ran around from a different direction, again after a small delay.

Ordinary People On Television
January 7th, 2010
Wayne Torres Television networks are producing more factual and realistic shows to attract general viewing public. The masses seem to have more interests in watching ordinary people doing exuberant stuff.
The reality shows are still becoming famous among the television viewers. In the reality shows, the cast are the ordinary people who are placed in an uncertain situation to achieve something. The hourly programs consist of several unknown contestants who will strive for getting their targets.
TV reality shows are of various types. Talk shows, dating shows, game shows or elimination shows, makeovers, hidden camera shows, hoaxes, documentary programs & renovations are different varieties of reality programs started by TV networks.
The new faces in the reality shows are usually uncomfortable with the camera. The ordinary people participating in the reality shows make the programs tireless for the public by their talent and adventure.
More often than not, viewers can get a glimpse of their anxiety as they compete with the other contestants. An example of such would be The Amazing Race. This show is focused on a set of contestants that travels around the world and racing each other in beating several clues that would bring them closer to the monetary prize.
Anxiety is seen as they try hard in running through airports, getting flight schedules, understanding a different language, and beating all the other contestants.
Anxiety is not common among the actors in the daily soaps. This anxiety makes the shows more realistic and connects us to the facts.
Another example is the famous show Fear Factor, where we find contestants doing hazardous things to compete against each other. These activities are horrible and scary for some people.
Participants in the Fear Factor struggle with their own fear and anxiety in a way one can’t just imagine. They eat living insects, jump from a height of three hundred feet in the air and get locked with snakes in the coffin.
Entertainment is really evolving into a totally different era. Being real in television is already considered as enjoyment for other people. A sense of fear and anxiety can really hype up the viewing audience. By watching reality shows such as these, it would give us the impression of what’s real and what’s not.
