Reality TV:surprising throughback to the past (YU CHEN)

American TV shows are usually very special and creative. After tons of talk show, we meet reality TV shows now. From this article, we can find the TV show Cupid which is a reality dating show. The heroine will choose her dating mate though many suitors. If the suitor marries the heroine-Lisa, they can receive a 1 million check which attract many people. Many people think this kind of TV show is very interesting, but it already existed for a long time. The only difference is that it does a little change in the processes. They modern people use three-minute get- to- know- you replace old waltzes at a ball. Long time past from Jane Austen’s age, however, people still do the same thing. Friends and family help you to pick up your husband through judging their appearance and behavior. In my view and my country’s tradition, it’s very weird to show off to people about the private life. Furthermore, it’s no need to demonstrate love with money. Money is nothing to do with romantic love. So we can see that, in the end of the show, Lisa is still dating with the man selected for her, but they refused to receive the money. Is that a proof of true love or they want to tell everybody they really love each other? Maybe just they can know themselves.
