Reality shows, a popular genre of television, still have a number of subgenres within it. With some hit shows like “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “American Idol” and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which has been running for a decade, reality TV has expanded a lot. Reality shows have been around for a long time, and now it is impossible to decide which show to watch.

Although people love reality TV, some of the shows don’t quite follow the definition of it.

Many shows are scripted and fabricated.

Contestants having body doubles for stunts, creating fake affairs and relationships, and producers eliminating contestants are a few of the secrets about reality TV that viewers aren’t aware of.

Hope Solo, a soccer goalkeeper and former contestant of the show “Dancing with the Stars,” wrote, “I started out thinking I was in a competition, but the longer I lasted, the more I realized that it wasn’t really a competition.”

Reality shows were intended to show real people’s everyday life, but now it’s more about gaining viewers. This is done by adding fake twists and scenes to make it more dramatic.

Some reality  shows do have a bitter truth, but it is not the same for all reality shows. Despite all these facts, I think reality TV is worth watching because it has been a great source of entertainment for a huge number of people.

Whether it is a real, fabricated show or some mix of the two, it is providing a daily dose of enjoyment. Some people use reality tv to connect with other people by watching the same shows they watch, while most others watch just because they find the show interesting.

There are reality shows that encourage people in many ways and help them mentally and physically. For example, Ellen from “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” has encouraged thousands of people to be kind and helpful to each other and has changed people’s lives with her kindness. The reality talk show has been running for fifteen years. Ellen was also awarded The Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. Likewise, there are many other shows that motivate viewers to work toward positive health or social change.

Most of the reality TV viewers are of ages 18 to 34. There are some reality shows that made ordinary people, with little or no talent, stars in television, or shows with unrealistic lifestyles.

These kinds of shows do have some bad influence on society, and it affects teenagers.

But, every show has some positive message to deliver to its viewers, and it gives life lessons to us. There are many talented artists who get inspired by reality shows and make their dreams come true.

Having its negative impact, reality TV has made viewers laugh, inspired them, made them forget about their bad day, satisfied them and, most importantly, entertained them, which is why it is the most popular television genre.
