This article deals with the experience of ordinary people involved in tv programmesbased on personal emotions, confessions, games, and talks. The aim is to examine thereasons why ordinary people perform their selves when their participation is requestedin reality shows, docu-soaps, infotainment etc. Applying Roland Barthes' concept ofSpectrum to these types of tv programmes, we suggest that it is necessary to take intoaccount a third actor, in addition to the traditional figures of broadcaster and audience.The functions and role of this actor are investigated through interviews with talk show participants and game show contestants. It was found that ordinary people are not simple devices used by the broadcaster to package his messages; they can also obtain emotional, cognitive, relational resources by participating in such programmes. In conclusion, the use made by ordinary people of the tv medium produces a sort of diffused ethnographic representation of everyday life, which adds itself to scholars' ethnography as a plausible interpretation of the world.
