How real is reality television? The perception of reality TV is that it's suppose to be real, people being followed around by cameras living normal life. Take the real world for example, like Chuck Klosterman used in his story. There is 7 strangers chosen to live in a house together for the summer, how real can you be? I don't believe reality TV, I enjoy watching it and unfortunately totally addicted to it but I still don't think its real. In reality TV we are always expecting someone to be the villain. There's always the bluntly honest and disrespectful person. There is always a black person, and there is always an emotional gay guy. That is what we expect from reality TV. Oh as well as DRAMA and SEX!! There is your typical reality show!
