Topic

Reality television is a genre of television programming that documents purportedly unscripted real-life situations, often starring ordinary people rather than professional actors. The genre emerged prominently in the early 1990s and achieved global success in the early 2000s with hit franchises like Survivor, Idol, and Big Brother. These shows frequently feature competition, personal drama, and confessional-style interviews.
