The only way is Essex

I have been a fan of the only way is Essex since the series started so I have decided to write about it this week. The only way is Essex is a reality TV series following the lives of around 10 boys and girls that live in Essex. It is shown on ITV2 Sunday and Wednesday when the series is aired. Although it states that is a reality TV show I do know and believe that most if not all of the show is scripted and each scene is set up to happen. The main characters of the show consisted of Mark Wright, Lauren Goodger, James Argent ‘Arg’, Amy, Sam, Lydia, Kirk, Joey and a few more. The first series aired 10^th October 2010 and was a huge hit straight away, because the first series was a hit the second series then started again 20^th march this year and has recently just finished. I personally find the show very amusing, I do not take it seriously and I believe that this is how most of its viewers feel also. Each episode there is an event that happens and there is some kind of drama. One of the main storylines that is going on at the moment is the marriage of Lauren and Mark, the big dilemma of will they or wont they get married.

The researcher for this show would have to get to know each character and make sure that they are interesting enough to go on the show. The girls of the show are very much known as being simple and the boys are seen as either very big headed or ‘dumb’. To fit the mould of being on the show each character that enters will have to be either of these. The researcher like on any other show would make sure that each of the individuals is at the right place and the right time for each scene. Also they would need to make sure that the director is informed if any changes happen.
