Exceeding Reality
Have you run across the TV show called The Great British Bake Off? Multiple amateur contestants try to impress the judges with their creations. Anything from cake that looks like a beaver to pastries that look like fruit, to whatever else. There’s other shows that do the same thing – always a contest of some sort – with varying degrees of success. For those who are still too amateurish to get onto a show like this, they will often post their attempts to recreate something from one of these shows and usually in the form of a before and after picture – an “expectation” picture versus the “reality” of what they created. Usually, the reality is far from the expectation.
