Trash-TV. 100 Seiten

Certain TV formats are in a league of their own. For example, live broadcasts from the Australian jungle or from living containers filled with Z-list celebrity protagonists. Or the acquisition of top models and superstars who don’t even emerge from the obscurity they will soon disappear back into. Here, the outcome doesn’t matter; it’s the journey that counts. That is the goal. Over the seasons, sought-after daughters-in-law, swapped wives, farmer brides, and mega bachelors (the modern term "Bachelor") delight the eager viewer with a mix of superiority and cringe-worthy moments. No one wants to admit to watching all of this, yet everyone is in the know. Especially Anja Rützel, who offers a critically amusing look behind the facades of such television formats and their viewers.
