A very good example of how easy it is to keep people in today's world entertained. It's always about a group of 20 or so, very retarded people competing in stupid shit and rambling some of the stupidest things ever said. C'mon people, how can watching a bunch of people living inside a house while having their every move recorded be good TV?

The shittiest thing to happen to the U.S. since George W. Bush.

Person 1: Are you going to watch that new reality tv show about 2 monkeys scratching their balls for an hour?
Person 2: No, I'm going to watch the one about people inventing really stupid shit.

Bringing YouTube to the big screen since 2005. Most reality TV shows are just dignifed YouTube stuff all packed together in a half hour or hour.
Also the sign that America is losing it's creativity and intelligence.
I am watching a reality TV show about little bratty kid. Shit, that is on YouTube all the time.

The crack cocaine of television.
In re Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth vs. Ereka Vetrini the court decides that both parties are sentenced to a life on reality tv without possibility of parole

Well this is a type of television programming favoured by commerical TV stations who rely on generating revenue by advertising. These types of shows appeal to the lowest common denominator which means they dont offer a refined taste or opinion and so by default doesn't turn people off because its not to their particular taste. It also plays on the idea of voyeurism. This in theory means the show attracts a large broad range of viewers as possible which will in turn drive up advertising slot costs and make more money. This is often supplemented by a phone vote feature which generates more money.
In the UK, where the explosion of Digital Terrestrial Television has now given most of the public at least 30 channels to choose from, the big 5 commercial terrestrial channels have employed reality TV as a tactic to maintain large audiences. Most guilty of this is 'itv', nicknamed chavtv whos last two attempts at reality TV were a little too far fetched (celebrity wrestling and celebrity love island) and concequently flopped.
My hope is that this represents a turn in the tide of endless banal reality TV and that the enormous amount of money made off it will be invested into quality TV programming but I think thats unlikely.
o you want to be on a reality TV show?

On the top of the list of American oxymorons, the only aspect of reality that it accurately portrays the American value that you have to be a backstabbing piece of bastard to survive in corporate America just like in shows like Survivor.
Reality TV is the fakest piece of shit ever broadcasted on TV. Except for all the backstabbing and the complete willingness to sacrifice friendships in the name of being self-centered and obsessed with winning something that isn't really worth the price, which is, unfortunately a very real part of our country.

Low-brow television, unscripted material from actual people. People may be suffering or under stress.
Also: most reality TV shows characters contain at least a high majority of white people, one token black person, one token asian person, and one token hispanic person.
Big Brother, Survivor, Joe Millionaire, The Littlest Groom, are examples of reality TV.
