Many people have probably watched MTV's "MADE", the show where a kid that falls under one stereotype wants to become the opposite stereotype and so MTV hires them a "MADE" coach that will help them achieve their goal. Most of the time it's something like an emo kid wants to become prom king or a um, semi-socially clueless girl wants to become a cheerleader... something like that. The show's main entertainment factor comes from the selection of people they've picked out, obviously. They're either weird, dorky to the point where it's funny but you're laughing WITH them not at them, or almost pathetic, and what they want to become is so different from what they are now that it just seems impossible for them to reach it. Thus, getting the MADE audience hooked. Some people go from wearing tye-dyed shirts with unicorns on them to beauty queens and fashionistas. No offense, of course, if you like tye-dyed shirts with unicorns on them. Other transformations aren't so drastic but it's enough to think that this MADE coach must have some special superhuman power. In the end, the wonderful MADE coach miraculously manages to help the person obtain the unattainable... or at least come close, changing their life and helping them "learn valuable lessons" from the whole experience. I've always wondered what I'd want to become if I were to be on the show.
If I were on the show, I think I'd want to be made into a cheerleader/dancer or something just to say that I tried something new. I don't really know if I even fit into one stereotype as I am now. So therefore it's hard for me to think of something completely opposite from what I am. I guess dancer/cheerleader fits best. For one, I'm extremely unflexible, so being a cheerleader never really occured to me. I've seen the previous cheerleader episodes and I can't do a handspring or whatever to save my life. I'm more of an athletic type person who'd rather get sweaty and dirty and the like on the softball field. Two, I'm not THAT loud and perky and all that stuff cheerleaders need to be. I'm outgoing ENOUGH but not cheerleader like outgoing if you know what I mean. Three, I don't have the confidence the cheerleader people have. There's some stigma that comes with being a cheerleader, good and bad, yes but it's something whether it's a stereotype that fits or one that doesn't. But it's usually that cheerleaders are popular, pretty and ditzy in some cases. I can do without the last one please. And finally, well, I don't know, I guess my friends would probably think I'd be the last person to be a cheerleader/dancer. Hahaaa.
I don't think I'd make the show though, because they usually pick someone sad enough so that people watch just to see how someone can magically undergo such a drastic transformation. I like being interesting, but not to the point where I'd catch thousands of people's attentions by being on MADE...well, just because it's the show MADE. Seriously.
