 * Claudius ** : Hey Hamlet my nephew or should I say my new son.


 * Hamlet ** : You’re not my dad so stop calling me your son.


 * Claudius ** : Hamlet why are you always so moody?


 * Hamlet ** : I’m not moody gosh just leave me alone.


 * Gertrude ** : Hamlet you need to stop mopping around, your father is gone and he isn’t coming back. You must accept the fact that he has passed away it happens to people all the time.


 * Hamlet ** : I know it does mom.


 * Gertrude ** : Well then why are you acting like you are the only one to have experienced this before?


 * Hamlet ** : Ok mom, just because I act like I’m upset all the time and you don’t like all my black clothes it doesn’t give you the right to judge. I’m acting this way because my father just passed away and you only see what I show of my grief. Really mom you don’t understand me! I’m going through a lot right now.


 * Claudius ** : Hamlet it’s nice that you miss your father but he’s never coming back and there is nothing you can do about it. You can’t waste your life mourning your father, it happens to everybody and you aren’t acting manly about it. Now stop thinking about your father because you have me to be your new dad and you’ll respect me like you would your biological father. I need you to stay with me to help me rule the country and sit on my court, you are in fact the next in line for the throne.


 * Gertrude ** : Please Hamlet stay with us, I want us to be a family and you’re the only thing I have left to remind me of my life before your dad passed away.


 * Hamlet ** : Ok mom I will stay for you.


 * Claudius ** : Oh Hamlet I’m so glad you’re choosing to stay with your mom and I in Denmark. Let’s go celebrate Gertrude I want to have a drink to toast Hamlet staying with us so we can be a family.

// Gertrude and Claudius exit //


 * Hamlet ** : Oh god, please help me my life is pointless without my father. I can’t believe my mom already remarried and my dad hasn’t been dead even two months. He was such a better King to this country and he protected and loved my mom better than Claudius ever could. It wasn’t even a month after my father died and my mom was broken that she married my uncle Claudius. Women don’t make any sense at all, Claudius is the complete opposite of my dad and there is no way she could like him at all. I just have to keep my anger to myself because she won’t listen to me at all.

*Posted by Jaclyn Campbell* || If I was going to make a reality TV show them I would recreate a season of the bachelorette. Gertrude would be the bachelorette looking for love and two of the male contestants would be King Hamlet and Claudius. It won’t be until they get on the show that they realize their brother is one of the 30 males trying to win over this one woman’s heart. Conflict will rise as the brothers try to ignore the fact that they are related around the other contestants. We will start off the season with more of a sneak peek before we go into the first episode. This sneak peek will cover everything that happened behind the scene from the moment the contestants arrive till they are about to meet our bachelorette. The main focus will be on the two brothers and how they react when they realize they’re there together and then later once they’ve decided to keep it a secret from the other contestants. The first episode will begin with Gertrude introducing herself and trying to get an idea of who these gentlemen are. The boys will each have 5 minutes alone with her just talking and leaving that first impression that might make or break whether they stay to find true love. After about 15 guys through, it’s Claudius’s turn to meet Gertrude. Claudius is a very intelligent young man who is well spoken with a bit of bad boy to him. His total image seems to have captured not only Gertrude’s eye but the American eye as well. Right away he makes her smile and the connection between them is electric. Five minutes will tick away perfectly until Claudius decides he’s going to undermine his brother. Gertrude is now faced with this perfect guy who seems to have confidence issues leading him to undermine others for his own sake. After Claudius is King Hamlet. As he comes around the corner he notices she is sitting there with a confused and hopeless look on her face. The sibling battle has begun. Hamlet uses his smart sophisticated personality to show Gertrude who he really was. He didn’t shy away from failure almost knowing that he wasn’t going to fail. By the end of the 5 minutes they didn't go over why they were here, or past experiences like every other conversation went. Instead Hamlet focused on interests and her personality by showing her his. The very short 5 minutes left Gertrude full of hope and feelings she's never experienced before. Gertrude has found what she has been looking for her whole life in Hamlet over 5 simple minutes. Later within the first episode Claudius continues to bash his brother and create lies that will leave Gertrude lost and questioning her feelings for him. The first episode creates a plot line of deceit and lies that create heartache and pain for everyone there. We can form our own ideas about the boys and fall in love with them from our couch. Everyone begins to pick their favorite and who they want her to pick in the end. The events in the first episode created a plot with unfinished answers and missing lines that will hopefully make the viewer’s continue watching. I chose Gertrude, King Hamlet and Claudius because as we know from the play Hamlet, a brother has murdered this brother (The King) and then marries his wife. I wanted to create the moment where love and passion is visible to try and better understand the beginning of the play. By: Kourtney Woodhouse ||
 * Reality TV is far from the true reality of things. People once performing for a camera begin to act different and say things or do things that they wouldn't normally do. They follow a script that the channel has provided and are put in specific situations. Yet knowing all this, we still can’t stop watching and falling in love with these shows whether it be about a specific family, group of friends or love.
