Ответ:

The writer mentions three main changes in talent shows:

1. They have become much larger, attracting millions of viewers worldwide, and offer substantial prizes like million-pound recording contracts, leading to serious careers for successful contestants, unlike the brief fame and small prizes of older shows.

2. They have spread beyond traditional television, utilizing website channels and gaining extensive coverage from newspaper editors.

3. They now focus on and publicize contestants' private lives and conflicts among judges, becoming a significant part of popular culture and a "way of life" that generates weekly headlines.

Автор упоминает три основных изменения в шоу талантов:

1. Они стали гораздо масштабнее, привлекая миллионы зрителей по всему миру, и предлагают значительные призы, такие как контракты на запись на миллион фунтов, что приводит к серьезным карьерам для успешных участников, в отличие от кратковременной славы и небольших призов старых шоу.

2. Они вышли за рамки традиционного телевидения, используя веб-каналы и получая широкое освещение от редакторов газет.

3. Теперь они сосредоточены на частной жизни участников и конфликтах между судьями, публично освещая их, становясь значительной частью популярной культуры и "образом жизни", который генерирует еженедельные заголовки.
