[color=sky blue]Do these reality TV creators actualy think that their shows are based off real life situations? I mean, the kinds of things these so-called "reality TV" shows have on them are so NOT reality. Why are they called reality?[/color]

"Reality TV" is probably just the latest entertainment buzzword, and you know the entertainment industry, always after ratings and the bottom dollar. The "real" probably just comes from the supposedly ordinary Joes that they hire to be on them. I can't find another so-called real thing about them. I might have a different perspective if I actually bothered watching them, however... That's my theory anyway.

I don't even see why they have to keep up the pretense, really. Everybody knows that people act differently in the presence of a camera.

yeah...I guess if they really wanted to call it reality they could get hidden cameras to record all of the daily stuff people went through, but that would probobly be illegal not to tell, and why would someone wasnt to wathch something that they do anyway? hehe

Can't we blame Survivor for this hideous outbreak of "reality" shows?

*murders all the Survivor people*

Heeeeeey! Now THAT would be fun to watch...a Survivor Deathmatch! To see who the REAL survivor is.

I blame Big Brother.
We take 12, day time presenter wannabes equip them with grenades, rocket launches and flamethrowers and let them hunt each other down.
All British reality tv has led to a revival for people we do not need Tony Blackburn, tara parmer tompkinson, les dennis, brian dowling and rhona camron.

Exactly. I hate Britain anyway, are they trying to upset me? Are they DELIBERATELY giving me more reason to detest this place?

Reality TV shows got old and boring after about 14 minutes. I mean, why do I want to watch a bunch of people - people I don't like - sit around being bored? If I want that I'll stick a pair of binoculars out of my window and spy on the neighbours.

I think survivor had the biggest to do with the shall we call the reality T.V. boom, The only one I ever really got into was the Big Brother 2, that was a good one.
