Most TV reality shows have a competition component
Most TV reality shows have a competition component. For example,
on Survivor, the winner gets one million dollars. On American Idol,
the winner gets a contract to produce an album. One of my favourite
reality television shows is the Bachelor. The Bachelor is about a
very successful man whos looking for a wife. The show chronicles
his journey to find love. The show starts with 30 single women and
the man picks women off until he is left with just one woman. At
the end of the show, he gets down on one knee and proposes marriage
to the one woman left.
However not all reality television shows have a competition
component, some shows simply follow the lives of people for some
period of time, then the video footage is edited to create story
lines. Some popular reality shows that have no competition
component are Keeping up with the Kardashians, The Osbornes or the
Real World.
Sometimes the line between reality and television is blurred.
For example one extremely popular reality television show on MTV,
The Hills revealed that it was not real at all but heavily edited
with characters who were told what to say and how to act.
