This collection of essays focuses on two sub-genres of reality television: dating shows, like The Bachelor, Joe Millionaire, and the earlier Love Connection; and makeover reality shows, like The Swan and Are You Hot? The Search for America's Sexiest People. Each author explores a different aspect of one or both of these types of shows, focusing especially on the cultural interaction between the text--dating and makeover shows--and society.
