在2009年MTV真人秀《真实世界》的第十集中，一群来自美国各地的年轻陌生人一起生活在一个陌生的城市（这次是纽约布鲁克林），演员们的任务是组织一场电影放映，以提高年轻人对“安全性行为”的认识。虽然到2009年，这类任务已经成为《真实世界》节目模式的一个不起眼的特点，它们的作用是在室友之间煽动压力，引发冲突，并支持节目对年轻观众的某种教育意义，但《真实世界：布鲁克林》这一集值得注意的是，它打破了该节目一贯拒绝承认自己作为电视节目的地位。显然，这个节目的整个前提是，演员们聚集在一起是为了制作一个电视节目。然而，在广播文本中，制作手段——摄像机操作员、音响技师、制片人、跑步者、灯光、吊杆麦克风等等——通常都小心翼翼地保持在框架之外。演员们被明确指示忽略镜头，表现得好像他们不在电视上一样（Winick 2000）。2009年的第十集颠覆了这个逻辑，室友们被要求放映的电影是佩德罗，一部关于佩德罗·萨莫拉的传记片，他是一位公开的同性恋者，古巴裔美国人，艾滋病活动家，1994年的《真实世界：旧金山》的明星。萨莫拉在1994年这一季的出现，因为提高了公众对艾滋病的认识而广受赞誉，并努力巩固《真实世界》以进步的方式处理棘手的社会问题的受欢迎声誉
In Episode Ten of the 2009 series of The Real World, the MTV reality show in which a group of young strangers from across the USA lived together in an unfamiliar city (this time Brooklyn, New York), the cast were tasked to organise a film screening to raise awareness about ‘safe sex’practices among young people. Whilst these kinds of tasks had, by 2009, become an unremarkable feature of The Real World’s format, functioning to incite stress and generate conflict amongst the roommates, and bolster the show’s claims to some kind of pedagogical address to youth viewers, what was notable about this episode of The Real World: Brooklyn was how it broke the show’s usual refusal to acknowledge its own status as a TV show. Obviously, the whole premise of the programme was that the cast had been brought together for the express purpose of creating a television programme. Yet, within the broadcast texts, the means of production—camera operators, sound technicians, producers, runners, lights, boom microphones and so on—usually remained scrupulously outside the frame. Cast-members were explicitly instructed to ignore the camera, to act like they were not on TV (Winick 2000). Episode Ten of the 2009 season inverted this logic as the film the roommates were asked to screen was Pedro, a biopic about Pedro Zamora, the openly gay, Cuban-American AIDS activist and star of The Real World: San Francisco in 1994. Zamora’s presence in the 1994 season has been widely celebrated for advancing public awareness of AIDS, and worked to cement The Real World’s popular reputation for dealing with difficult social issues through progressive
