The conducted interviews show that despite the stress of the workroom, nobody quits their workplace. Loggers and copilots keep their jobs, despite the pressure, because they want to \u201covercome the challenge\u201d and to \u201cleave their comfort zone\u201d. These lines strongly resemble the lines used by producers to describe contestants in the shows. The lowest hierarchal level job in reality TV shows (such as Big Brother or The Farm) is for workers to compete among themselves in describing the most \u201cinteresting\u201d scenes which should not be overlooked. Our research shows, that these reality TV workrooms overflow with competition between ready-made stereotypical expectations of \u201cinteresting\u201d interactions between contestants and unexpected \u201cmore interesting\u201d occurrences. I attempt to answer the question: What messages in TV entertainment come from the relationships between video surveillance workers? One of the research results points, that people\u2019s desire to have symbolic power over others, to establish the ideas of what is \u201cinteresting\u201d, is the reason why this descriptive job has not yet been delegated to software solutions but instead people\u2019s senses are used as mechanical appliances.<br \/>\n<em>Keywords:<\/em> media, television, popular culture, entertainment, invisible workers<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/azbuki.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/philosophy_3s_24_zhana-popova.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open the full text<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zhana Popova Sofia University \u201cSt. Kliment Ohridski\u201d https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53656\/phil2024-03S-12 Abstract.
