what makes it so interesting
i know the how the saying goes " don't judge a book by its cover ", but i'm still wondering what is it about 'reality' shows that make them so popular. i don't really see anything so special about them whatsoever. im a guy, and i even hear other guys talking about tv shows like its the latest gossip or something. i really don't have time to watch any tv though... ive asked around and everyone always says " because of the drama ", shows like laguna beach, the oc, etc. is that all there is too it or is there more? thanks, will rate.

Conflict makes most reality shows hits. Fights, harm, death, humiliation, stuff out of the normal is what people want to see.
Also notice many people on some reality shows are very attractive.....
Mostly, though....I find that people like to watch people who are...well, different from them. Richy-rich people, people with problems, people who hook up and have sex 24 hours a day, people who fight constantly.
Anything out of the ordinary.

well mostly it is because of the drama, i think otehr people like to watch reality shows to see what other people have to put up with. there really is nothing more to it.well some people just watch it because they think that person is hot or stuff like that. but other than that its not a big deal

theyre popular because they're the bulk of what network tv offers these days. this is because they dont have to pay writers/actors for every episode, they just need to make it like a gameshow where one contestant wins at the end of the show/season.
Also, its attractive to people because its almost like theyre watching other peoples lives, which most people (nosy people) like to do.
aside from that, theres not much to it.

Personally, I hate reality TV (and most of everything else on TV as well) and a big deal of it is because of the situations and drama the people are put in and take part of. I also don't like the gossip surrounding it and how people set a priority in their life to watching the lives of others through hardship, triumph, and a whole host of other assorted things. I find it unnescessary and annoying to hear people constantly talk about their favorite reality show and what is happening in it. This is just my opinion.
I agree with yours.

Alot of it is the drama. But I think another part of it is watching people make complete idiots out of themselves. On shows like "The Real World" the houseguests are given alcohol all the time. It's entertaining to watch people get plastered and end up in a fist fight. But not all reality tv shows are like "The Real World" Some are contests, like "Survivor". Personally I never have watched The OC, and the times I have watched Laguna Beach I felt the kids on the show were acting for the cameras a lot of the time.

The drama .. ya thats a huge part for most people. But.. i alos like to see the other things .. like experiences and things. Like in Laguna Beach Trey's orginaization AYA .. i even went to the website and learned how to be involved. And also in season 1 when LC orginized the fashion show for the landslide victims.. i like it because it shows that SOME rich people arent like most people think.. stuck up and bitchy. But yea.. i also like drama.. i must admit.

Well I like reality shows because of the drama but it makes it even more dramatic just knowing that it is real life, there is no acting.

♥ pretty much it's just for people to get entertainment out of.
♥ honestly, some of them shouldn't even be called 'reality' shows, because sometimes they just create fake things for a dramatic effect.
♥ i don't really know if that answered your question or helped you at all. but i don't really know what else you want me to tell you about them, if you have any other questions just reply to it.
