The increase in applications to participate in reality shows is between 20% and 100% as the culinary show Something’s cooking with a total of 18,000 applications is most wanted. Thousands of people are flocking to the television studios to gain their place and to participate in any of the upcoming reality shows reveals Vima Newspaper. Some of them dream of the prize, others are hoping to open a door and make a career in television, others think that they will solve their problems, while there are those who go for their few minutes of fame as Andy Warhol said.
Whatever the reason, the fact is that the number of participations in the castings multiplied and broke the records to date. And the queues before the producer's studios are huge. Most people wish to participate in shows that were already released during the last season. “Taboos that were folding the television no longer exist,” said representatives of television channels. “The shows of this type are not mythologized any more and no more labels as a social stigma are put on everyone who was involved in reality as before.”
Young people are more inclined to respond to the promises for awards of thousands of euros, a brilliant career and popularity that the television gives given the economic crisis and rising unemployment.
