Reality TV University Would you sign up?

[Doctor Amadeus]

wouldn't bother me. I'm a pretty boring person.

Yeah right and that is why you would wind up being the most watched person. I'd bet real money on it. People like to observe the most boring things, from other people, more than they let on.

[Vankrys]

university is already free where i live i guess no.

[Doctor Amadeus]

As if they could have a cast of 3500 people.

Reality TV shows have like a dozen max.

This would just turn into a shitfest because media doesn't just film. They direct reality TV. You'd end up having shit ton of staged and instigated stuff. Everyone would just focus on the student parties, fights, drama, tits, big muscles, more bullshittery.

Please leave education out of this clusterfuck.

What you do is group up content, you sell it to different outlets, not all for the same reasons or the same way, education for example med students watching med students and all the things that come up real life, it would not only be educational, but helpful.


Love and Loss relationships young people, not watching Hollywood but real people, like someone they could know, being the fly on the wall so to speak everywhere.

Then you could have the attention whoring the want to be stars and so long as it's monitored carefully, you could help keep this element engaged, everyone else entertained.

This is literally the opposite of how all of that works

[Doctor Amadeus]

Only if you believe there is any actual Reality involved with Reality TV. Whatever you end up with would be far-removed from anything approaching what a real university looks like.

Nope go the whole LockUp route about prison only on steroids.


All for a good cause education.

Well no, because again the format would vary based on the specific outlet it was sold to. Obviously not everything for everybody, but anybody could have access for a low price of and a package rate yaddah yaddah.

It would make fucking truck loads and be the biggest thing ever. Plug it into social media and apps all access, the only thing you might spend a fortune on is security, but there are ways to limit exposure, would more than likely be needed.

Considering it's a private institution broadcast, that wouldn't be too difficult, depending on where you do it.

[Forgettable]

Sure, I would sign up...

But who the hell would watch that show? Sounds super dumb.

Because that's humanity and people bitching and arguing about getting Free College to do what they do already for free.

[Hisholyness]

Why it's a free education for just being on Camera 24/7.

You can get any STEM degree you want if you qualify, and even some Liberal Arts.


Maybe even some new degrees. Like _____________.

sounds like an office remake with college. "The University" derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Doctor Amadeus]

You realize STEM type courses are a subset of liberal arts, right?

Anyway, I can't imagine such an idea would ever actually work. And no, I wouldn't do it because I got a free ride through college anyway without having my privacy invaded.

The only people who really think that are typically people who either dropped out or never went to a university.

The thought that this would actually work and be successful and that the school would have any sort of credibility are just contradictions. If it's a professional educational environment, it won't be a successful reality TV show because that's boring. If it's entertaining, then it's likely not such an environment. I don't believe it could be both at once.

It's also a ridiculous notion that you could learn what college is like or what goes on at once by watching or participating in this. Related to my prior point. It would be nothing like a real university. You'd learn more by watching a reality TV show of just a few people at a university rather than thousands.

Uh, what? No. No one does that.

You can do both its a owned university by the show with producers. Anyways the question is would you do it. I would either way if I got accepted they are on the hook as long as I don't fail out and free college room and books. I'd do it fuck privacy.

The biggest thing you're forgetting are just complying with certain education and privacy laws and all those things to figure out. Having students sign a few waivers won't solve all those problems.

University is private you sign an agreement pure and simple. The footage would be a treasure trove of abundance and entertainment.

More importantly free University.

Like I said, I got a free ride through university anyway without having to sell out. So, no. I wouldn't.

Pfft you're not special come there up to 200 thousand to go to college. They'd leap for it.

[Doctor Amadeus]

That's my point. It's not that simple. Not that I expect you would know even the basics of the privacy laws regarding education and an educational environment. I don't mean that as an insult but it's genuinely a LOT of legal shit. You would have a real problem if a student decided they didn't want to be filmed anymore. It wouldn't be as simple as just removing them from the university either. I just don't think it would work logistically. Which isn't super relevant to your hypothetical but just an observation.

Not really depends what state where you do it and have them sign. It's a contract private university. The question is would you do it I would.

People kill themselves to pay for school all kinds if degrading things. This is just doing what people do already.


Of course there are legal realities if someone wants off they are out with the conditions they agree which means they pay and transfer out.

@Mall Security: Would you allow me to sample your posts on this forum to add some data for a social study?

[Doctor Amadeus]

A private vs a public university doesn't matter at all with regards to certain laws regarding education privacy.

I already answered your question though. It doesn't seem worth it. Getting a free education honestly isn't THAT difficult. People that star in reality TV shows get way more benefits than you're offering.

First off no you are wrong, unless you want to cite specific case study and law, and I am damn sure if you can't articulate it yourself, not a copy pasted link you really aren't going to be able to argue it, but luckily I don't need to and I can.

Prostitution is illegal almost everywhere in the United States, now I don't know if you live in the United States but in this country human beings have the right to freedom of expression. Which is why selling sex directly is mostly illegal, but posing as a model in a adult film or pornographic material is not.

And that is far more fucking serious than students who signed a contract to study on fucking camera. Who by the way have to be legal adults.


As for reality stars most don't get free college and most wouldn't have the access to the kind of exposure I am talking about. I am not talking about professionals the question is asking YOU (generically) being whatever. In a hypothetical.

However considering your suggestion of having to sell out, I am going to go ahead and assume you think this is beneath you, well ok. Most however that don't care about your morality, who would like access to free education in exchange for being recorded 24/7.

That is a hell of a lot easier than stripping, dropping chicken nuggets in the deep fryer and having to do girls gone wild or any of that other shit. It's college, and the concept would be to capture as much reality as possible. Which in reality is actually more interesting to others when it's authentic.

Absolutely. Have at it.

Perhaps you are unaware of the Observer Effect.

Yeah but that is the only reason why it would be produced and have a crew, to keep that kind of thing from happening. This would NOT be The Real World.

[Scottyjscizzle]

Why not, as long as the shits free. Not like its going to show me doing anything interesting. It would be like watching episodes of cops were they leave in the people who are pulled over for failure to signal and they don't plant any drugs.

[Evil Midnight Bomber]

You can't stop it from happening. People are going to behave differently when they know every single thing they say or do is being recorded.

You don't need to control it to direct it and manage it, it will happen, but within the scope of reason and it should be nothing but transparent.

[Evil Midnight Bomber]

Attempting to direct and manage it is exactly what makes it fake.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Not unless you do it with intent, to manipulate the situation to produce an unnatural effect. You are spot on though, I mean it will be touchy but, as the bugs get smoothed out, and people get the general idea either from watching it or participating, it will become part of reality and thus pretty much making you correct.

However, again that can't be controlled only directed and managed to make sure it's organic as possible.
