Reality television is on nearly every major television station. Reality Television, defined as a show without actors and scripts, attempts to film regular everyday people go about their daily lives. And it's difficult for anyone to say they've never seen a reality tv show. American Idol, Big Brother, Survivor, Project Greenlight, The Amazing Race, and Fear Factor are just a few of the major ones.

A major question that surfaces is this: Are the participants of Reality TV shows really acting like themselves? How can they not notice the 30+ cameras constantly filming their every move. Do the Survivors on the island not realize there are cameras hidden in trees? Did they forget about the mini mics that were planted on them before the day began? Maybe the term Reality TV is the wrong phrase for Reality TV. It's not real, and many other quality television show slots are being overrun by these shows. TV is just not as interesting as it use to be.

I'm not advocating that everyone boycott Reality TV. But rather to just be aware that the show isn't really reality, like the name dictates. And even I must admit that shows like American Idol is a funny show (I love watching and laughing at horrible singers!).
