Are the reality shows real? This is the question I want to quote here. These shows sometimes seems to be real but at certain stage it seems that they are very well organised. It means they are very well planned. So what is real in them? Do the mare presence of real celebrities makes it a reality show ? Just check it out !

hey buddy i don't like so many reality shows. their is only one reality show which i i like to watch every Saturday online and that one is so you think you an dance. But here i exactly can say, Reality shows are real only with in 70%-80% extent. these are not completely in Real, because before performance every character of reality show has been prepared by someone{who organized that reality show} for incoming performance. http://so-you-think-you-can-dance.download-tvshows.com/

Some Reality TV may not be quite as reas as we may like to thing. Take the case of the hated apprentice contender Omarosa for example. According to a Time magazine article, she may have been the victim of reality TV editors. Some reality TV shows are edited to be dramatic and some quotes may actually be manufactured. Clashes and ugly feuds between the reality stars may b e constructed and some parts of the shows may also be completely edited and cut out so they don't make the final show that people see on TV. Some critics acutally charge that reality TV is not so real and that these shows may be far more manipulative than we think.

HI! I think reality shows are completely fake. There is no real reality show in the whole wide world! everything is fake, just to make more viewers and more money! For an example the Big brother show- everything is so fake and commercial, that you must be the biggest idiot on the world to think that it is real! or some other shows like it! There are so many!

I think a lot of those reality shows have some elements of realism but are skewed in a certain way. Maybe not out and out scripted, but they are arranged for certain things to happen. Basically, it is only slightly more real than everything else on television. Somewhere between completely scripted and complete reality, is where I think reality shows fall. Leaning further towards the scripted end of the spectrum but still real enough.

I think some parts of a reality show are completely impromptu, while other parts are set up or have been prepared at an earlier time. I'm pretty sure they do this so that they can get their ratings up because if the show was boring then no one would bother watching it.

I think they are fake. They all just act. It sometimes depends on what shows you're watching.

They may be real, like "keeping up with the Kardashians." But can you really act normal, the way you usually do when you see a camara crew in your living room? They may even tell them when to start talking, what to do, to a certain extent. So in that way, I don't think they're 100% real.

No I don't think The reality shows are real as my sisters daughter went to a channels reality show's audition and from there I came to know that the reality show will give the script's and that will have to be said in the show.It was about a comedy show in which the peoples compete with each other in telling jokes and this was the seen,so from that point my point of view changed towards the reality shows.

Honestly i don't really think if reality shows is really a truly real show. But however, it seems has almost 50 percents of reality. However a tv show is not that simple to take the picture. So i believe even a reality show also has it's own scenario. But the producer will make it as real as the real life. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I don't think all of them are real like the hills but I think alot are..some of the things are just so good you can't write it. Like the jersey shore reality show the best reality show ever you know it's real because the people who fought on the show are still getting charges pressed against them because it was on the news and a couple on there is still together today! For longer than 4 months so that's cool. Most reality shows like for the love of Ray j they pick someone and the couple never stays together

I don't think all the reality shows are real as I get a feeling that the script is written from the moment it starts and it becomes quiet predictable.And in some shows I think they are real but in real sense no one knows whats the actual reality.
