leahpcosta In an era of fake news and ‘unreal’ tv, we are all constantly left questioning what to believe.
Editing and manipulation are often highlighted when we are discussion the media. But what about the power of suggestion? This is the most important because without actually saying anything, you can position individuals to create and accept their own version of the truth. We have seen this done in countless political campaigns, wars, media and now reality tv.
Now let’s focus in a little more on bachelor in paradise. Can I have a show of hands how many people truly believed they would see a same sex relationship form between @eloratahiti and @megan.leto.marx ? Without ever having said it was, by carefully suggesting that the dark haired figure of @thomasmichaelperras in the water kissing Megan could be in fact Elora, you all created and accepted your own version of the truth, without the producers ever having actually lied.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been positioning you all to buy a particular truth, to try and raise the issue and get you talking about how often this occurs and just how much emphasis everyone puts on their version of the truth.
You may have all seen a sparkly ring appear on my finger. Without having ever said I am engaged and without having ever confirmed or denied it, without even used the term myself and even despite clearly stating last night on the project “your putting words in my mouth” I have managed to show you all the power of suggestion. For you to then go and create your own version of the truth based upon the little information suggested.
I ask you all to understand the power of television and the integrity of the media. Educate yourselves about the things you are watching and the power of suggestion, but most of all take it with a grain of salt.

Happy Watching

I know, right?  It goes beyond "don't bite the hand that feeds you" into "don't insult absolutely everyone who has employed you, watched you on TV, written you supportive comments, wished you well, afforded you a public profile etc etc...."

She obviously thinks she's smarter than everyone - the producers, the audience, and I'm sure all of us here as well.  I don't think she understands what reality TV is all about.  It's an escape from actual reality; not a bloody sociology lecture!  

I work for one of Australia's top universities.  I've got more letters after my name than I care to mention.  I would be considered a smart lady.  And guess what?  I LOVE trashy television!  I love it because it's such a contrast to my intellectual/academic life.

So don't shame me for my viewing habits, or tell me what I should think, thank you very much Ms Costa.  

OK, lecture over.
