Reality TV, short for reality television, refers to a genre of television programming that documents purportedly unscripted real-life situations and often features unknown individuals rather than professional actors. The format typically involves filming the personal lives of participants, showcasing their interactions, challenges, and experiences, all while aiming to engage viewers through entertainment, drama, or competition. Reality TV can encompass a variety of sub-genres, including talent competitions, dating shows, lifestyle programs, and socio-economic experiments, often blending elements of humor, suspense, and conflict. The genre gained significant popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with shows like “Survivor,” “Big Brother,” and “The Real World,” which set the stage for numerous formats that followed. Reality TV often blurs the line between actual events and entertainment, raising discussions around authenticity, privacy, and the impact of media representation on real lives.
