Reality TV

Reality TV refers to a genre of television programming that portrays unscripted real-life situations, often featuring ordinary people rather than professional actors. Programs in this genre typically document everyday activities, competitions, or personal dramas, aiming to entertain viewers with authentic experiences, albeit often manipulated for dramatic effect. Reality TV can include various formats such as talent shows, dating competitions, lifestyle series, and docuseries. The appeal of reality TV often lies in its ability to showcase relatable scenarios while also highlighting extraordinary aspects of life, leading to viewer engagement through voyeurism and emotional investment in the participants’ journeys.
