The fascination with reality TV continues unabated. This brilliant spectacle is turning nobodies into overnight celebrities. Is it a public fascination with quick stardom? It seems as as a show's popularity rises, its casting and scripting becomes similarly increases in complexity, thereby reducing the 'reality' of the show. I'd be willing to bet that nearly every single reality show participant has an agent.
Here, you'll find a number of reality TV innovations, from funny "Wife Swap" moments to drama from "The Bachelor" and politically-charged faux newscasts.
