Reality TV

Reality TV is a genre of television programming that documents unscripted real-life situations and features ordinary people or celebrities in various scenarios, often competing for a prize or displaying aspects of their personal lives. Unlike traditional scripted shows, reality TV relies on real-life interactions and events, capturing genuine emotions and reactions. The format can include game shows, talent competitions, dating shows, and lifestyle series, with a focus on entertainment rather than fictional storytelling. Reality TV often blurs the lines between actual events and produced content, as it may involve contrived situations and editing to enhance drama and viewership. It has gained significant popularity since the late 1990s and early 2000s, influencing cultural trends and viewer engagement in the television landscape.
