Reflection 5: In It to Win It—Winning on a Reality TV Competition

Could you win a reality TV competition? If so, which one? Are you the Voice? Or maybe you're America's Next Top Model? Are you best suited for an in-studio competition, such as Chopped, or are you willing to get physical on a show like The Amazing Race? What would you be willing to do, and what would be off-limits? Finally, what is the appeal of these shows? The money? The competition? The fame? What motivates people to risk potential humiliation on national television?
