Reality TV Blog

‘Reality TV? No, I prefer more serious programmes.’ That’s what a lot of people say.
But a survey by OnePoll showed that one in four people in the UK watch a reality
show. Perhaps that’s not surprising when you think that there are hundreds of different
shows to choose from. Some popular examples have people singing, dancing or
cooking. But recently there have been more unusual programmes – a competition
between men trying to grow the longest beard (Whisker Wars), celebrities competing
in challenges in the Australian jungle (I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!), or a
group of 40 kids who lived together for 40 days without adults (Kid Nation).

2
But just how real are the people in reality TV shows? It depends. Some shows actuallyy
use professional actors. Others use ordinaryy members of the public – they’re much
cheaper than actors. But even when the people are real, the situations are often
carefully written and planned. And even when real people are talking about true
situations, it’s easy to edit their words and make them say something different. In sp
pite
of this, the above surveyy discovered that 42% of people in the UK between the ages of
25 and 34 believe that reality shows are 100% real!

What about talent shows, one of the most popular types of reality show? Did you know
that it is often the producers of the show, not the judg
ges, who decide who leaves the
competition? Talent is often a lot less important than other factors. The producers
need contestants who attract more viewers, for example, by starting arguments. In
fact, some producers create drama and tension between the competitors on purpose.

4
Does it matter that reality shows aren’t real? In some documentaries, they say they
are in one place when in fact they are filming in a different location. In other shows,
they ‘surprise’ the contestants with things that they knew about already. And in most
shows they give a false idea of time. An activity which really takes hours, days or weeks
happens in just 50 minutes.

5
One of the saddest things is that reality shows can give us unrealistic ideas about
what we can do. Things aren’t as fast as they look on the screen, and they’re usually
slightly more complicated. Reality shows can make us confused because we can’t tell
the difference between what’s real and what isn’t. The scariest thing is that they can
make us stop believing everything we see on TV, including the news. People think it’s
all manippulation. Perhaps the best thing is to stop watching reality TV for a while and
rediscover the real world. It’s just as amazing and inspiring as anything that you can
see on a screen.
