How Real Are Reality TV Shows?
Reality TV shows have become hugely popular in the past couple of years. There’s a reality TV show for almost anything you could ever imagine: becoming a top model, surviving an island, finding a spouse, building a house, pulling pranks on people and a billion other situations. It’s as if television is becoming life itself. Are reality TV shows an accurate portrayal of real life? It’s hard to imagine how it could not be. It’s not like you can make up footage of real people doing and saying real things. These are real life situations that are happening in front of our eyes. At the same time, the situations depicted in reality TV shows aren’t always so realistic.
