Reality TV

Reality TV, short for reality television, is a genre of television programming that documents purportedly unscripted real-life situations, often featuring ordinary people or celebrities rather than scripted actors. This type of programming typically showcases various aspects of life, such as relationships, competitions, or challenges, and may include elements like confessionals or interviews where participants share their thoughts and feelings about the events taking place. Reality TV is characterized by its aim to entertain viewers through real-life drama, conflicts, and the exploration of human behavior. The genre has grown in popularity since the late 20th century, spawning various subgenres including competition shows, dating shows, and lifestyle shows.
