This course examines the content and impact of reality television dating shows like The Bachelor, Love is Blind, and Perfect Match. In it, we define and trace the development of reality tv as a genre, discuss reality television ethics, and analyze the messages we receive as viewers of reality tv dating shows. The course helps us grapple with questions about media production and presentation of love, heteronormativity, and gender, and the social impact of reality television.
