Reality television is genre of television programming which, it is claimed), presents unscripted dramatic
or humorous situation, documents actual events, and features ordinary rather than professional actors. It
could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened” documentary. Although the genre has existed in
some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from
around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz shows
which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a
modern example is Gaki no Tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused productions such as Big Brother.
Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modifies and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic location or abnormal
situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen
manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.
Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
traveling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its
participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name “reality television" is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor,
and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format of the
show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in
which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality" to
describe his shows; he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama."
