Hi, everyone and welcome back to Britain under the microscope. 欢迎回来【闲话英伦】. Hi, 安澜.
Hi, Lulu. Hi, everyone.
So 安澜 you just got back from the UK, what you’ve been doing apart from binge eating and binge drinking?
Well, same as everyone during Christmas, watching TV, being with family.
I didn't even know you watch TV. I thought you just watch really old movies.
I do sometimes watch TV, I do sometimes.
So what kind of TV do you watch, soap opera?
No. My mom does. I don't.
What else?
Well. I would say the things that we really just can't escape from in the UK, which are reality shows.
真人秀. That's exactly the same as in China.
I think that's pretty much exactly the same anywhere in the world at the moment.
People are so fascinated with reality shows and those of you who are listening to this episode, I'm pretty sure you have watched reality shows, sometimes maybe not even realizing it's a reality show.
Yeah.
Reality show I think by definition is just any show without a script.
Yeah, but I would say reality shows have become so specific now.
I know some really bad reality shows.
I know some terrible ones which are exactly the ones that we’re gonna talk about.
So I know a lot of you watch like综艺节目, actually they say variety show like综艺节目, but they're not variety shows.
No.
There are more reality shows.
Yeah.
And today we're going to talk about popular, trashy, bad, good reality shows in the UK and you can compare to some of the reality shows that you watch in China.
Some of these you might have already watched.
Emm. Okay. And the whole trend started at least 20 years ago.
Well, yeah. Around the early 2000s, you had shows like Big Brother and Survivor that came from the US.
Yeah. I was gonna say Survivor is from the US. Big Brother is just like the bunch of people living in the same house?
Yeah. With cameras everywhere.
Oh. Hence big brother, they’re being watched, monitored the entire time.
