Don't Dim My Light!

Welcome to another week of Bachademia! We had some chaos this week on the show and we are going to channel it on the podcast! You in D3?!?!?!??!Question of the day: What is the most awkward thing you have said to someone while necking, kissing, making out? (A la, I will never diminish your light)2 minute recap: Set the clockConcept 1: Arguments - What is the anatomy of an argument? What is the point?Does anyone win?Concept 2: Couples, career ambitions and being supportiveThis comes up a lot when couples have problems, what happens when one person wants to do something in their career and it is antithetical to the other person’s vision of the relationship?How do you resolve? Concept 3: Do you think Shanae’s pursuit of Clayton makes him more likely to choose her?Wildcard:  Let’s talk a bit about the role of villains in dating shows. Ok. First, there is very little research on this topic. So if you are a Master’s student looking for a thesis project, get rolling. What we do know is that producers often create villains. There was a Time Magazine article in 2006 by JAMES PONIEWOZIK that revealed how reality tv fakes it. Frankenbiting, fake settings, misleading montages, the leading interview, and the overdub. How much do we think the producers play a role in making Shanae the villain? And what happens to villains when they carry their fake reputations into their real life post show? I’m interested in the characteristics of villains on dating shows and how that overlaps with villains in other genres or clashes.  Lessons learnedSign-off
