Do you like reality TV shows?

Love it or hate it, reality TV is hugely popular. Why do you think it’s so popular? I personally have never seen a reality tv show. I sometimes think they exploit the people they put on reality tv and I definitely think it's somewhat scripted. Do you like reality? Which ones?

I think it's partly because everyone secretly always wanted to be a fly on the wall, and reality TV sort of lets us be that. I personally don't watch many of them. Of course, I hardly watch any TV at all.

In the early days of the genre when it was member sof the public on them they were interesting but now it's all scripted wannabes looking for fame

No, I don’t watch reality shows. I used to watch The Challenge about ten years ago on MYV, but I don’t like mean spirited programming, and that kind of behavior started to make me feel sick to my stomach.

I watched two or three shows of Big Brother and then shut the television off. I told Pretty at the time that nobody acts like that in real life so the show had to be scripted. We stopped watching any television after that. We don't even have a television that is hooked up to watch anything except movies we've bought over the years.

I like the home makeover, Fear Factor, and sometimes amazing race.

I do like reality shows and have probably watched almost all the ones in your picture. Probably my favorite is Survivor

I'm a closet reality show junkie. I only watch 90 Day Fiance at the present time. I used to watch a lot more.
