Psych media type="youtube" key="4kX3m-OLNHE" height="315" width="560" Background Information: Shawn and Gus have entered into the American Duos competition (like American Idol) to be undercover detectives for Nigel (a judge). They have asked Juliet for help in advancing through the competition so that they can stay close to Nigel without seeming suspicious.

1. Juliet is trying to make Shawn and Gus work hard and want to perform well in the American Duos competition. 2. She is addressing Shawn and Gus. 3. Pathos seems most prevalent, as she refers to winning the competition. She appears distressed (emotion), claiming that she can't make them "want this," which refers to desire (emotion), and doesn't use many facts. However, she does use logos when she explains that Emalina is not a concrete suspect, implying that they need to stay in the competition to further investigate. 4. I suppose that the argument is mildly effective. She makes the guys feel bad for not trying, using both pathos and logos to support her argument. I do not believe that any logical fallacies were used. 5. I personally follow the logical side of arguments better, so I believe that her argument would have been more effective if she used more logos and concentrated on the need for them to stay in the competition for the case.
