• Though this "reality" contest is a unique one, this program shares similar elements with other reality shows such as CBS' Survivor and Big Brother, MTV's The Real World, NBC's Fear Factor, ABC's The Bachelor and many many others. ... Think about them the next time you watch a television program that claims to be "based-in-reality. " Think of these "lessons" as reasons why reality TV is not real.
• Lesson #1: Reality TV is not about reality. ... There is nothing noble about television programs. ...
• Who can get it all? Who can capture both love and money? Who will win? Which person will be greedy enough to sacrifice pride for the prize? Reality TV is about greed.

Candid Camera, The Real World, etc), it is within the last two years that reality television has achieved its greatest success in hits such as the Survivor series, Temptation Island, Big Brother, Fear Factor and so on. ...
• For an explanation as to why reality television is so popular today, we offer an extended quotation:.
• There are several reasons that reality television has become popular today. ... The first catalyst for reality television being popular today is money. ...
• The second reason I believe reality television has become popular today is that of instant fame. Reality television takes ordinary people, sets them up in extraordinary situations on a world stage with other similarly commonplace individuals, and makes them the focus of a nation’s attention on, for example, an hour every Tuesday. ...

• Reality Television .
• Reality-based television is an amorphous collection of syndicated thematic shows and one-time episodes that have one unifying basis: they rely, in some fashion, on real or true events. This reality can take numerous forms, and the television industry has defined the genre broadly to include tabloid news, talk shows, comedic style shows, and crime-based shows. ... But the importance of these shows stems from how they shape "reality," emphasizing some aspects over others and limiting some details to create a "news" story. The phenomenon of reality television first gained momentum in the mid-1980s, and due to its popularity and economical production costs, has proliferated into the late 1990s.
• Tabloid news shows are a less recognized form of reality television, because shows such as A Current Affair and Hard Copy have a format that resembles mainstream broadcast news. ...
• Yet, while news professionals may object to these cross-overs and fight the blurring of these lines, these practices ultimately serve to place tabloid television news more within the broadcast news genre than within the reality television genre.
• Television talk shows also have elements of "reality" within them, as they often feature individuals and families presenting their problems to a host and studio audience. Yet, the shows have more in common with radio talk and call-in shows, and tend to identify themselves more as talk shows than reality shows. ...
• Comedic style reality includes such shows as America's Funniest Home Videos and one-shot specials that rely on audience submitted home videos of their embarrassing moments, funny pets, and precocious children. ...
• Other forms of reality television include shock shows that draw together home video and other amateur video, such as police surveillance footage, on a certain shocking theme. ... According to George Gerbner, a communications professor and scholar who studies violence on television, these shows "exploit the worst fears and nightmares of people. ...
• The most established reality shows are the crime-oriented shows. ... Because of their established position, they are the form of reality television that has received the most attention from other media and media critics, as well as from the television audience. These shows define reality television and provide the best clue as to what reality television reveals about "reality," especially America's beliefs about crime and law and order in the late twentieth century.
• The proliferation of reality crime shows can be explained in part, but only in part, by the ratings that they receive. ... If reality crime shows did not draw viewers, they would not remain on the air. ... According to Mark Fishman, reality crime shows receive below average ratings in the total number of households that watch television. Additionally, they have a mediocre share of the audience that does tune in to television during the time slots that they appear. ...

• As we sit back and watch the latest reality TV show, we often forget that the people involved have to go back to their “real” lives when it’s all over. ... Phil Kural takes a look at both ends of the spectrum and talks to a number of former reality show participants, including Trenyce, Dave Johnson, Alima Ravenscroft, and various Amazing Racers. ...
• Reality television has seen a boom in programming since the beginning of the new millennium. ... However, we can’t help but wonder: What happens after the show is over? Does the experience from being on a reality television program ever end, and what really happens after the cameras leave? Several reality show contestants have returned to lives where their jobs have been affected because of their appearance on a show, yet others have assimilated easily back into the lives that they had led before. Let’s take a look at how being on a reality program takes effect on one’s life – from the simple things like walking down the street to the effect it has on the workplace.
• One of the most common things to worry about when being on reality television show, before it even begins, is to wonder if the experience is really worth it. ...
• Other reality television contestants echo this sentiment. ... ” Josh goes to his job and lives his life just like he did before the race began, and plans to keep doing this while not trying to alter his life just because he was on a reality television show. These are just two of several former reality contestants who do their best not to change their normal everyday lives just because they appeared on television for a short period of time. ...
• The one thing to realize is that sometimes fans feel that they are owed something from those who have been on a reality program. ...
• However, most former reality contestants are more than happy to talk to fans about the show and shed some light on the things that they did not get to see. ...
• Some former reality television contestants have tried to make their brief television stint turn into a full time career by moving to Hollywood and trying to land acting roles, commercial spots, or even hosting other reality programs.

• I realize that the topic heading may make this seem more appropriate for the "television" heading, but since I don't want to critique reality TV per se, but only want to discuss the social implications of its popularity, I thought I should put it here. ...
• This week's Entertainment Weekly quotes several important reality-TV producers as saying that reality TV is the product of an "irreversible change in generational sensibilities. ...
• First, because "reality TV" is not reality at all, in that it only shows one side of humankind: the bad side. Fiction, in a sense, is closer to real life than "reality" TV in that it shows a greater variety of shadings of human character; human beings may turn out to be heroic and generous as well as scheming and self-serving. But reality television is specifically designed to show people at their worst, and I shudder to think of an entire generation growing up with the idea that it offers a truthful depiction of human nature. ...
• Second (and maybe even worse), because these same producers claim that younger audiences are rejecting fictionalized television because "they can no longer relate to it. ... If these producers are right, then fictional programs may gradually be phased out in favor of "reality-based" programs (which, I assert again, are less "realistic" than much fiction). If fiction goes out of style on television, will it soon dwindle and die in the world of film and literature as well? Surely, if young people do not "tune in" to fiction on television, the implication is they can't connect to fiction at all. ...
• First of all, what are reality-TV producers going to say? Of course they are going to defend their product and go to great lengths to explain why their product is better than anyone else's. Second of all, human beings have a built-in need for stories; otherwise, why would we have been telling them since before Homer? We need fiction because it offers us not only an escape from reality, but a forum in which we can imagine the problems that exist in reality might be solved, and the conditions changed. ...
• I think that the saturation of the market is a good thing, because then we will start expecting more quality product (and yes, I DO think there is some good to be had out of reality shows, but it is few and far between like anything else). ... I think the recent upsurgence in reality TV also has a lot to do with the impending strikes, as much as TV producers would like it not to be a factor. ...
• Reality shows are just a form of game show, and game shows have always had their niche but will never take over the entertainment industry because, for 1 thing, most children are bored out of their minds by them. ...
• Fiction allows a writer to give more insight into the reality around us. I forget what author it was but in an interview he said that he considered his fiction to be more reality based than non-fiction because the broader parameters of fiction allowed the author to reconstruct the world we live in with more insight and awareness than non-fiction was capable of communicating. ...
