VH1 has a lot of interesting realty TV shows, this one in particular is one that i have watched on and off. Real Chance of Love is about these Two brothers one named Real and the other named Chance who are looking for love. They have a bunch of girls they don't know come on the show to prove they really want to be with them. They go threw challenges and a variety of dates with the brother they feel most interested in and of course, they are trying their best to impress these guys by putting on the persona that will best connect them.I really have no idea were they find these girls! The majority of them are strippers and actresses, and many of them are only on the show to get publicity. At the beginning of the season Real and Chance gives nick names to the girls in order to better remember them. I find this to be very degrading because of the type of names they choose. For example the 5 girls that were left on the show were (3 Real Girls) Sassy, Doll, Pocahontas, (2 Chance Girls) Hot Wings and Mamacita. The girls are not allowed to make up their own names.
The episode that i watched for this project was the season finale of season 2. (They had a season 2 because obviously the girls they chose from season 1 weren't REALLY into them, what a surprise!!!) While watching the episode i kept thinking GENDER, GENDER, GENDER. What things do i see on the show that have to do with gender because as we all know gender is everywhere, its just a little difficult to see at times due to societies norms and what we accept to be our norms. The first thing that really stands out on this show is the girls that are fighting for these men that they barley even know. One of the things noticed are the way in which they dress themselves. They are disclosing everything, tits exposed, booty hanging out of skirts, legs bear, heals as high as could get! Its unbelievable some of the things they wear. There were constant images of them doing their hair and make up because we all know women should be put together at all times! its what is expected.
During the show you are also able to notice the way the brothers speak in comparison to the way the women speak. The women, because they are trying to impress the men, act very seductive and needy. Sassy in particular puts her hands over her mouth when she laughs and always has her head tilted slightly downward. The girls in the show are constantly crying and showing their emotions to the men. For example in this episode Real commented to Doll that he wants likes "to see" his women "shed some tears" so that he could "confert her". Another example from the episode was when Chance is talking to Mamacita about relationships and what a girlfriend should do. Mamacita says that she is capable of staying home and being a serious girlfriend and that she wants a real man. Chance in return tells her that he wants a good women, and that he would not want to be home while shes out drinking and partying. so theres a criteria for what a good women is, basically a house wife. That the women every man wants is someone who is constantly there and who's sole concern is him, making the man more important that the women.
In general the women on shows such as this one really degrade themselves and the female gender!!! its pretty sad if you pay attention to the gender themes that go on. Yes it is pretty entertaining to watch and i will continue to watch shows such as this one .... maybe you can call me a hypocrite!!!
