One of the biggest trends in television in recent years has been the rise of “Reality TV”.

These shows, in which ordinary people are placed in unusual situations and then filmed

without a script, have become some of the highest rating shows on television. Early

programs of this genre, including

Big Brother

(from the Netherlands) and

Survivor

(from

the United States), have led to dozens of copycat programs in many different countries. A

common element to many of these programs is that a number of contestants are placed in

a closed environment in

which

they are filmed 24 hours a day, and every week

contestants are thrown off the show. What is it about these shows that makes them so

popular? Perhaps it is because viewers enjoy watching ordinary people with real

emotions being placed in extraordinary, situations. Or perhaps it is that people are really

voyeurs - they enjoy being a spy, looking secretly into other people’s lives.
