Discussion Question #3
DISCUSSION BOARD 3-1.docx
For this week’s discussion, please select ONE of the shows listed below for your response.
In this course, we talked about attraction, relationships, love, and how people become couples. Several television shows try to take a different look at coupling. Shows such as 90-Day Fiancée, Love is Blind, Married at First Site and a new show called Naked Attraction, take the concepts that we’ve discussed and double-down on them or totally ignore them.
I’m curious to know what concepts from this course would you apply to ONE of these shows to help explain the show. You do not have to have watched the show to answer the question. You can simply use the descriptions below to get an idea of the show.
The premise of Love Is Blind is that the contestants cannot see each other, which means they can only speak with a partition between them. After speaking with multiple people, contestants picked people they wanted to keep talking to and producers helped arrange dates if two people selected one another.
The series, 90 Day Fiancé, is an American reality television series on TLC that follows couples who have applied for or received a K-1 visa, available uniquely to foreign fiancés of U.S. citizens, and therefore have 90 days to marry each other. They have 90 days to spend time together before they get married or choose not to get married.
The series, Married at First Sight, features three to five couples, paired up by relationship experts, who agree to marry when they first meet. They do not get to know each other before the wedding and meet at the altar.
Naked Attraction is a British series that involves one person selecting from 6 potential dating partners. The difference between this show and dating shows is that all six potential dating partners are naked and the person selecting is clothed and sees each potential date naked, revealed from the feet up to the head. They select one person from the original six to date.
