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.
