How to speak reality: "Bachelor" came up with "journey" to simplify feelings
"The Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss wanted to use "journey" from the get-go so that contestants and the show's host wouldn't have trouble expressing themselves. As the Wall Street Journal notes, reality producers "must heavily coach their charges to get an often inarticulate public to explain their emotions in simple phrases audiences understand. All this prodding has given way to a lingua franca of reality television. The talk in part evolved from gritty daytime talk shows like 'Ricki Lake' and 'Sally Jessy Raphael' that thrived on getting guests to spill their innermost thoughts in succinct sound bites, producers say."
