One of the conclusions reached in many of the studies conducted on impoliteness is that the nature and degree of impolite behaviour are closely linked to the contexts in which it takes place, whether private or institutional. With regard to the latter, for example, attention has been paid to certain kinds of discourse in which verbal aggressiveness and impoliteness are part of the interactional behaviour that is expected of participants, as occurs in political debates that take place in parliament and at election time (Martín Rojo 2000; Fernández 2000; Harris 2001; Pérez de Ayala 2001; Bolivar 2005; Blas Arroyo 2011) or in television programmes about military training (Culpeper 1996; Bousfield 2008), to mention but a few. In recent years there has been a growing interest in analysing impoliteness in different media genres, especially from television. Of course, in other (not-so-distant) times it was difficult to find many such programmes. Along with pseudo-debates and talk shows of different kinds (Grindstaff 2002; Patrona 2006; Brenes 2007; Lorenzo-Dus 2007, 2009a; Hutchby 2008; Garcés-Conejos Blitvich 2009, 2013; Garcés-Conejos Blitvich et al. 2010; Fuentes 2013), researchers have recently found reality shows to be an important source of material for studying impoliteness (see, e.g., Culpeper, Bousfield & Wichmann 2003; Culpeper 2005; Lorenzo-Dus 2008, 2009b; Blas Arroyo 2010a, 2010b).
