This quote immediately made me think of Khloe Kardashian\u2019s fairly new show called Revenge Body. The premise is that she helps people get their life back, getting \u201crevenge\u201d on either a specific person or their life when they were overweight and presumably, from the show\u2019s eyes, unhappy. The last part of the episode there is a big reveal, where they had a whole \u201cglam squad\u201d come in I think this speaks so much to the class discrepancy that the quote discusses, in that if we have the mentality that we\u2019re just helping \u201cthese people\u201d we\u2019re not viewing them as our equal. It\u2019s still very much the mentality that a celebrity, someone way higher up on the socioeconomic hierarchy, is helping this lowly normal person. I chose this photo from google images, because I think it really embodies how much goes make-up and process goes into making someone look like they do \u201cevery-day\u201d for their reality TV show. This is what the Kardashians go through every morning before they start filming their show. The sound-byte that I\u2019ve included shows a contestant on Khloe\u2019s show saying, \u201cKnowing that I was going to be getting what Khloe gets, and by them, is insane.\u201d There\u2019s still such a sense of the rich giving to the poor, which just perpetuates the classist issue that is shown in reality TV show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
