Reality TV

Reality TV refers to a genre of television programming that documents real-life situations and features unscripted content, often focusing on the lives and experiences of individuals or groups. Unlike scripted shows, reality TV presents events as they occur in real time, providing viewers with an unfiltered look at the participants’ interactions and decisions. Common formats include competitions, social experiments, and personal stories, showcasing varied themes such as relationships, talent showcases, or survival challenges. The genre aims to entertain through the authenticity of raw human experiences, though it may sometimes be edited or manipulated for dramatic effect. Reality TV has gained significant popularity since the late 1990s and includes a wide range of shows that appeal to diverse audiences.
