Reality TV includes talk shows, home renovations, self-improvement, dating shows, and hidden camera shows. Talk shows discuss current events, while home makeovers and self-improvement focus on improving homes and people. Dating shows follow people on dates, and hidden camera shows film people’s reactions to certain situations.
Some of the different types of reality TV are talk shows, home renovations and self-improvement, and dating shows. Talk shows are very common and are often named after the person speaking. Home makeovers and self-improvement are relatively self-explanatory and focus on decorating, physical appearance, and sometimes mental health. Dating shows are sometimes like game shows and usually follow two or more people trying to find a life partner. Also, there are hidden camera shows where one or more people are unaware that they are being filmed.
Talk shows are reality television programs that usually have a main person who talks about current events, people’s life stories, or other points of interest. These shows might focus on family issues, political events, or other niches. Some reality television shows are made for comedy, drama, or news. Successful talk shows can run for decades, sometimes every day of the week.
Home makeovers or self-improvement reality shows focus on improving a home or a person, respectively. Home makeovers might consist of the entire house, one room, or the front or back yard. They are often given to people on low incomes or to people who have poorly furnished homes, if not randomly distributed. Self-improvement shows usually focus on improving a person’s appearance, but sometimes the stars of the show try to help people with hoarding tendencies or other mental or physical issues.
Many reality shows follow a person on dates to witness the drama, embarrassment, or success of the event. Some dating shows are essentially games where contestants try to win the heart of the current star. The person who wins gets to continue dating the star, and then the show moves on to the next star. Losers usually only get a few minutes on television, but are sometimes paid a small amount of money.
Hidden camera shows are a kind of reality TV where most people don’t know they are being filmed. These programs often focus on trying to scare people, point out prejudices, or make fun of people’s lack of knowledge about a topic. For example, a hidden camera show might film people’s reactions to a car being stolen. The show allows several actors of different races to “steal” the car with a lot of spectators. If viewers react differently to certain races that might steal a car, the hidden camera show might reveal their presence and ask about the reaction.
