Are reality shows on television not so reality?

The reasons why i ask this is because it seems to me that epopel live a certain way without having company or camera taping them. Once the video taping starts, I ffel the actions aren't so genuine and real. When reality shows first hit the air waves, I was pretty excited due to thought of getting a look into other people's lives to see real life situations. was sort of wrong. The actions seem to be created based on the mood of the day or based on an event of the day. I also want to point out that it seems if the show is not full of drama, it's not considered good. Let's admit to the desires of wanting to watch people have screaming matches, throwing and breaking things, cheating and lying on each other. These types of situations seems to draw attention. Although it keeps us interested, it's really sad to watch people going through situations while were on the other end of the television thinking, well you could of should of did this or that then you wouldnt be in that situation. Thank goodness they eventually work through them without anyone getting killed. To me I think when a cast member makes a situation worse than what it already is by not thinking rationally about other person's feelings. the parties involved see to throw more oil to the fire by doing the unexpected. i feel this is not so reality because the audience is not getting the real responses from these people. It seems like they are trying to entertain more than give the audience a look into their life. The cast members try to give what the audience wants 90% of the time. Usually, at the end of a reality show season, there's a reunion special show where they all sit on a sofa to discuss past events and situations of the shows and I noticed one main thing about all of them and that is that each once are all accused of not being themselves during taping. All the cast members have gotten their feelings hurt once or more times. Too much un-needed drama. Broken families, friendships. I"m not saying all reality shows should be happy go lucky ones or that they should try to be happier but stay true to yourselves, stay loyal to family and friends you have known for years. keep situations fair that may arrise because in the ned, those cast members ight have a nice lup sum but was it really worth loosing the people closests to me while exposing your family?
