I saw this book in a store the other day and I figured it was a joke. Upon closer inspection, it is at least partially serious. The Reality TV Handbook was written by John Saade, who produced such reality shows as The Bachelor, The Mole and Extreme Makeovers, along with Joe Borgenicht (author of The Action Hero’s Handbook). This book contains actual details on how to send a noteworthy audition tape and nail an interview to get yourself on a reality show. It then proceeds to provide information on every possible reality TV situation you could find yourself in, including but not limited to: how to survive in the wilderness, how to form an alliance, how to “hook up” on camera, how to interpret body language from a bachelor or bachelorette, and how to capitalize on your 15 minutes of fame. Sounds like an essential addition to anyone’s bookshelf.
