Reality TV Reality television is the basic idea of taking every day people and putting them in a situation or a game where a camera follows them around and records almost every move. Reality TV plays a big part in the psychology department, especially social psychology. But let’s start with a brief history of how it all started. A new genre was introduced to television when entrepreneur Mark Burnett stepped over a boundary that nobody had before. He developed the “unscripted” drama series Eco-Challenge which made it’s debut in 1995. This program was a video taped race where teams of contestants compete to be the first to complete a journey through a strenuous course that covers several difficult terrains. This show was a huge success as television audiences became hooked on the suspense of the competition and grew fond of the contestants. The success of Eco-Challenge led Burnett to produce reality TV’s highest rated series, Survivor. Today, more than ever, reality TV shows have been popping up everywhere. Over 71 reality TV programs have been produced, and plans are being made for the production of many more. Almost every network airs some form of reality TV show. reality, tv, people, show, shows, one, because, just, social, contestants, been, psychology, every, together, things, real, person, time, through, part, new, live, line, experiment, conformity, being, television, put, it’s, group, good, animal, always, world
