TV NOTEBOOK
‘Teresa’ exploits
family struggles
Giudice legal
problems explored
in ‘Housewives’
spin-off
By SHIR AVINADAV
Daily Arts Writer
Whether
from
shock,
or
pure interest, I could not peel
my eyes away from 14-year-old
Gia Giudice’s heavily made-up
face as she was interviewed on
the latest episode of the three-
part series “Teresa Checks In.”
The eldest of four daughters to
Teresa and Joe Giudice — who
were recently sentenced to jail
for bankruptcy fraud — is put
in the spotlight alongside her
father and siblings in lieu of her
mother, who has only contrib-
uted to the show through phone
calls. In a thinly veiled effort to
exploit this, has Bravo officially
crossed the boundaries of real-
ity television? Or has this been
a long time coming for the Giu-
dices?
“The Real Housewives of New
Jersey” has followed the Giudice
family, in addition to the family’s
multiple other cast mates for the
last five years — digging deep into
their personal lives, extravagant
lifestyle, ludicrous spending hab-
its and most of all, family drama.
Though much of this content is
edited and even scripted by the
show’s producers, the couple’s
legal issues began long before
the show. Manipulating these
circumstances to make for more
emotional television would have
been just plain tacky. Yet, as with
the show’s nature, the “House-
wives” franchise has become
successful doing just that – using
emotional situations to entertain
audiences and create TV perso-
nas with large fan bases. “Teresa
Checks In” is just a test of her fan
base, whose support she needs
now more than ever.
What’s especially ironic is that
the very show that put the spot-
light on the Giudices during their
grapple with their legal issues, is
now the primary media source
redeeming them from their
negative public image. Accord-
ing to Joe, “being in the public
didn’t help,” yet it is being in the
public eye that propelled Tere-
sa’s cookbooks, haircare line
and other businesses, garnering
millions of fans. However, these
fans seem to be lacking with the
recent premiere of the show,
which follows the family during
Teresa’s absence. Just 1.2 mil-
lion viewers tuned in to the first
episode. Teresa’s attempt to sal-
vage her fame and regenerate
her and Joe’s lost fortune over-
estimates the loyalty fans have
to the superficial figures cre-
ated through Bravo’s depraved
formula for reality television.
This
formula
(essentially,
wealth + scripted television =
exorbitant antics) is the source
of success behind various other
shows that draw millions of
viewers, such as those who
follow the “Real Housewives”
series. “Keeping Up with the
Kardashians” is one such exam-
ple. Most of the show’s 18 to
34-year-old audience, including
myself, have been keeping up
with the family since the show’s
early
episodes,
which
pre-
miered in 2007. As the audience
has aged, so has the show’s cast,
making it feel as though they
are a part of the family’s lives.
We’ve accepted two divorces,
three kids, a few lip injections
and a gender transition as much
a part of our lives as theirs. The
reality on screen has become
our own — online, in newspa-
pers and magazines, in books
and so on. It’s even second
nature for us to refer to them as
if we know them personally.
As far as this goes for Tere-
sa, her fame — which shed an
undesirable spotlight on her
and her husband’s financial
indiscretions — has had reper-
cussions not only on her and
her family, but also on viewers
everywhere. When a convicted
white collar criminal contin-
ues to receive fame and money
after being held responsible for
their actions, it sends a perplex-
ing message to the millions of
people who observe this. Once
sentenced, most criminals do
not have the luxury of mending
their public image and making
money by means of carefully
composed
reality
television.
In fact, this got Teresa into
some trouble, when she asked
her daughter Gia to tweet on
her behalf and thank her fans
for their “support.” Given her
experiences, Teresa may have
been knocked down a notch or
two, but she doesn’t seem to
fully grasp the extent to which
she must take responsibility
for her actions. And her fans
seem to agree. Though “Teresa
Checks In” presents only a sliv-
er of her current reality, it is a
shoddy attempt at reshaping the
family’s image and extorting
whatever publicity it can from
the remains of Teresa’s Bravo
legacy.
The problem with reality
TV, simply put, is that it’s not
real. Whatever the content, it’s
a means by which to distort
perception. Whether it’s paint-
ing the Giudice family as well-
meaning people who are truly
remorseful for taking advantage
of the system to fend off their
growing debt, or the wealth-
fueled antics of the Botox-lad-
en Kardashian clan — reality
programming shapes its view-
ers’ ideas of right and wrong
— what is desirable and what
isn’t and what the appropriate
responses are to inaccurately
fabricated situations. When it
comes to cases as ubiquitous
as “The Real Housewives,” the
monstrous public figures they
have shaped out of affluence and
scripted antics wield an alarm-
ing amount of power over view-
ers. The consequences of this
power: a representation of real-
ity so misconceived that the very
notion of what is acceptable and
what is not has become skewed.
MUSIC NOTEBOOK
Hey, it’s Millennials
and we love Disney
By DANIELLE IMMERMAN
Daily Arts Writer
This
week,
Daily
Music
Writers are looking back on the
first albums they ever loved.
Today,
Danielle
Immerman
remembers
Disney
Channel
greats.
I don’t believe in favoritism. I
can barely decide which cookie
I want at Insomnia, so please
don’t ask me to decide what my
first favorite album was. Also,
asking a music lover what her
first favorite album was is kind
of like asking Donald Trump
what his imperfections are —
you won’t get an answer.
Seeing that I don’t believe in
favoritism, I decided to ask all
four of my friends here at the
University of Michigan what
tickled their fancies early on in
life.
My
dear
friend
Mallory
Robbins,
an
LSA
freshman
and proud srat sister of Alpha
Delta Pi, proclaimed that the
2006 hit Hannah Montana is
the first album she fell in love
with. According to my Mal pal,
“Hannah Montana is my idol
— she’s amazing and really had
the best of both worlds. Her
wig was phenomenal and just
changed my life.” Too true, Mal.
Hannah Montana did indeed
change all of our lives.
LSA freshman Natalie Gray, a
salty resident of Bursley and the
most exuberant member of the
Delta Phi Epsilon sisterhood,
took me for a walk down
memory lane. Hilary Duff’s
Metamorphosis is her first fave
album. Nat Gray backs up this
confession by saying Duff “was
a real day one that spoke true
words.” Well, Nat Gray, if we’re
being completely transparent
here, I would probably have to
agree with you.
Emily
Cornelius,
another
LSA freshman (because those
are the only people willing to
talk to me), divulged that her
first love is none other than Mr.
Lupe Fiasco. Lasers is number
one on E Corn’s list because
back when she was a youngster,
“Lupe just really got me.” (Fun
fact, when I pronounced Lupe
wrong, Mal Pal bitched me
out by saying “Jesus, Dan, you
can’t pronounce it like that; it’s
disrespectful to Mr. Fiasco.”)
LSA
freshman
Catherine
Karns, a fellow Donald Trump
hater, can’t seem to shake the
memory of The Cheetah Girls
from her mind. Cat watched
them
open
for
Hannah
Montana back in the day and
elaborated profusely about this
experience by saying “it was
lit.” I asked Cat why she loves
The Cheetah Girls so much and
she responded, “I honestly don’t
know. They were just boss-ass
bitches before I even knew what
that meant.” Truth, Cat, truth.
As you can see by this
massive survey I conducted,
there is very little variation in
millenials first favorite albums.
Basically, if it wasn’t on the
Disney Channel, I doubt any of
us would dub it our favorite first
album (unless you actually knew
what shitty music sounded like
when you were eight years old).
In conclusion, I would like to
thank my gaggle of friends for
taking thirty seconds of your
life to answer my pivotal earth-
shattering questions. You are all
true day-ones, but Hilary Duff
is still better than you.

CONCERT REVIEW
Halloween at The
Ark with Wild Child
By AMRUTHA SIVAKUMAR
Daily Arts Writer
I hadn’t heard a lot of Wild
Child before Saturday. But one
look at the audience, and I knew
exactly where I was. There was
a comfort, a cheerful warmth
at
The
Ark,
Ann
Arbor’s
staple folk venue, on Saturday
night. What started as sweet
serendipity
quickly
turned
into one of the best indie folk
experiences of my life.
Clad in Halloween costumes
ranging from simple mustaches
to the “Ann” of Ann Arbor,
the Austin-based, seven-piece
band wove every sad story on
their discography into a saga of
forgiving and moving on.
“Victim to Charm,” from
Wild
Child’s
2011
release
The Runaways, harmoniously
blended vocalists Kelsey Wil-
son and Alexander Beggins
with a powerful mix of vio-
lin and cello. In seconds, the
venue was glued to every word.
The strings echoed just long
enough after every verse ended
to keep everyone feeling privy
to the magic shared on The
Ark stage. “Break Bones,” from
Fools, the group’s latest album,
darkening lyrics were almost
inappropriately masked in an
infectious piano-backed melo-
dy, which made me take until
the end of the song to question
how I was feeling.
It didn’t take long for the
entire venue to catch on to
the familial joy being thrown
around stage. For “Cocaine
Hurricane,” not a single person
shied away from trying to
catch all the childish syllables
of the song in a single breath.
As “Crazy Bird” ‘s familiar
introductory riff hit cellist
Sadie Wolfe’s bass strings, the
crowd was visibly awakened.
Lead vocalist Kelsey Wilson
has the ability to bring peace to
sadness and weave melancholia
into just another memory. The
rather
unusual
harmonies
between ukulele, cello and
violin — held together by
Wilson’s salient vocal — spread
to every corner of the Ark,
making it impossible to not
share joy with every other fan
in the sold-out venue.
“You feel like you’re together
in something — like you’re
experiencing the whole thing
together. It’s a family therapy
with a lot of dancing,” Wilson
said of her music on the band’s
website.
Therapy is right. Two hours
later, I felt refreshed. Maybe,
I felt, this is what music was
created to be. An outlet for all
the weight we feel on a day-to-
day basis. A place where secrets
become just another story, and
struggles become something to
be cherished and learned from.
