Reality Tv Show Assigment

The Hunt

“The Hunt” is a reference to the game scavenger hunt. It is a reality television show about teamwork. The participants are put into two teams that compete against each other to find a hidden object. The teams first receive instructions on how to get to clues, which guide them towards the hidden object. At the end of the season, the team with the most points wins a 2-week vacation for 3 to a country of their choice and extra money to spend on their trip.

One of the goals of the show is to get people from different social groups to learn to work together as a team. There will be five people per team. One team will be made up of fashion designers and fine artists. The other team will be made up of CEO’s and high school teachers. Though the people in one team have a common ground they can all relate to—designers and fine artists, CEO’s and teachers—they each have very different sets of values, priorities, and thinking processes. By forcing them into situations in which they will have to rely on each other, they will learn to interact with each other, recognize a new set of social cues, and play different roles in their respective groups.

The other goal of the show is to also work with human-to-human interaction in a broader scope by introducing them to various places and the people that live there. Each episode of “The Hunt” takes the teams to new settings such as the farm, the beach, and even overseas. The show also promotes a more active interaction with people by having the participants complete tasks that require them to either help, or get help from the people in each setting.

Rules of The Hunt

One person from each team is given a set of instructions that only he or she is allowed to listen to. He or she then relays these instructions to the rest of the team members. The instructions lead the teams to the clues.

The clues, in turn, guide the participants to the location of the hidden object, which is changed from episode to episode. Once a team reaches the location of a clue, they will be required to complete a task in order to receive the clue. These tasks are made to get the teams to work not only within the group, but also outside of the group. They can range from getting a child to do a favor for them to helping a farmer clean up a chicken coop. Each task awards the team 5 points upon completion.

Once a team finds the hidden object, the hunt comes to an end, and the winning team receives 50 additional points.

Another way to end the hunt is to accumulate 30 points before the other team by looking for clues and completing enough tasks. Even if the hidden object has not been found, the hunt still comes to an end, and the teams keep the points they have accumulated up until the end.

Structure

The show is comprised of 15 episodes. The hunts are played every other day for a month. As the players progress, the scavenger hunts become gradually more difficult by taking them to places outside of their comfort zones until they’re forced to even deal with a foreign country, a new language, and an unfamiliar set of social norms.

Conformity

Homework Assignment #3
Social Interaction experiment.

Goal: To test how individuals interact with one another in a public setting.

Plan: The observation of how individual strangers act towards someone that needs help in a busy fast pace environment.

Execution: Ferris and I went into Union Square to see if we could get 1 or 2 people at a time to give us directions to the NJ path train. Paying close attention to the hand movements of the individuals as they explained directions to us. The exercise proved to be a little challenging in the fact that in New York no one cares to stop and talk to you if you possibly need help. None the less we were successful in finding some nice individuals that want to help.

Findings: Some individuals were nice and tried their best to give directions to both of us. Some individuals were honest when I asked them if they think the NJ path is located on W14th and 6th ave. Others would not even bother to stop and help they would just look at you like you are from another world and keep on walking. Choosing the Nonverbal communication as their point of interaction with us.

The first idea was to have me lying down on the ground in the middle 14St Union square acting like I was hurt or sick.
This experiment didn't last to long. A lot of people just did not care enough to stop. Instead they looked at me and kept on going.
That tells me individuals are more reluctant to help out an individual who is in need of help in the busy streets of New York. So that experiment got canceled.

Life / Twister

Core Assignment #2

Life! Twister

We all have played the game twister, and loved the fun and skill set of not falling, as the narrator calls out each players number and asking that person to put their left hand, or left foot, or right hand or right foot on a particular circle. The narrator has a square board with a spinning dial, in which the dial can land on any of the colored circles. The idea is once the narrator calls your number say you are number 4. If the narrator say's number 4! put your right hand on the blue circle then you do so. Funny enough player 1's foot and leg are right in the way! But you still manage to put your right hand there as the rest of your hands and feet are on different colors. Follow? This can be awkward as all the rest of your body may be almost ready to tilt over in any direction because of the direction you are getting from the Narrator. Jerk!

Rule Breaker!!
If player 1 is in an awkward position and is about to fall. Player number 1 can choose the option to lean on player number 4. The change in the interaction of the game is now number 1 and 4 must now move as 1 unit. So now when number 1 is called to move their right hand to say the red circle. 4 must move their hand to the same red circle.
The decision to use another person in the game as a life line by leaning on that person so that you don't fall has to be a careful planned thought or else once you join with another person you can possibly win the game easily or create more drama with all the rest of the players who are doing the same thing.
