Blumenfeld wants to capitalize on this recent craze and add a whole new element to reality-based entertainment. UW sophomore Lauren Berk thinks the idea will take off. I think it s a really cool experience, Berk said. UW students are a great representation of college students nationwide. Not only will audiences read and click on what they want to know about the individuals, they can also interact with them.
Technologies using web cameras and interactive chat rooms enable audiences to take an active role.
These five individuals, when picked, must be willing to share their personal lives with the country. The students, Blumenfeld said, must not hold anything back, even their personal life. In addition to partaking in this project, the five students will get paid. They will be given a portion of the advertising revenue from their Starfields, where more hits on their website means more money. The deadline for all applicants is Wednesday, March 7th.
