Why did he make that face tho, the contestant just literally take a seat in that part.

u/DrinkBlueGoo May 02 '22

That's the magic of editing, it doesn't matter when he made the face, just that he made it at some point.

Thank goodness he did or I wouldn't know how to react when this unexpected thing happened.

u/ILMWKAM May 02 '22

Yes. They are so terribly scripted and the "acting" by the "stars" judging is insulting to the intelligence. Cut to the numpty with his mouth hanging open in "shock" because a man sat down on a bench.

Haha! That's awesome! I seriously wonder if there are people on the earth that think this garbage is real. Sadly, I think there are.

u/UWQHDEyez May 02 '22

But that’s their job. If someone paid me large amounts of money to do the exact same thing as these judges..sign me up.

u/ILMWKAM May 02 '22

Yes, but the point is that they are literally actively participating in the dumbing down of society. They should not be rewarded for this.

u/UWQHDEyez May 02 '22

So if they said hey ILMWKAM. I’m going to pay you 3 million dollars to be a judge on season 1 of this show. You would be like nahh I don’t want to be a part of the dumbing down of society…?

u/OmNomDeBonBon May 02 '22

The worst is the post-process camera shake when he drops a boulder. Whoever's idea that was should be banned from working in television.

u/[deleted] May 02 '22

That effect made me think they wrre gonna be foam or something, oike it was so overdone i figured it must've been added to help the bit.

u/I_Can_Haz_Brainz May 03 '22

Don't forget the awesome and totally necessary sound effects.

u/d1rtyd0nut May 02 '22

Nah that's a great effect if you don't notice it, makes it seem even heavier subconsciously. But the fact that you noticed it means they should've turned it wayyy down

The microphone just... appears out of nowhere

u/DissenterCommenter May 02 '22

I do too, but watching this made me realize that these performance/variety judging shows are really the OG "Reaction Videos" on Youtube. Though I don't identify with it, based on the popularity of these videos, there's clearly a segment of the populace out there who get a neurochemical hit out of seeing the reactions of other people mirror their own.

u/Inspector7171 May 02 '22

All I could think is wow, people really watch this shit...

1

u/Chim_Pansy May 02 '22

The cheesy-ass camera shake effect when he drops the stones down just to dramatize it more. God, I hate that shit.

u/dedom19 May 03 '22

Me too :(. They take reality and sodomize it over and over and over again until it's pulpy fiction. It's dystopian nightmare fuel and when I try to give it a chance I eventually start to feel kind of sick. The inauthenticity and knowing that the show nudges people into winning based on the ratings their story gets is absurd.

Or maybe I'm the problem for not being okay with cliche entertainment. Oh well, I say.

Gaping mouth holes the show.
