Question
Question 3 10
When one hears the term "reality" applied to a show, one
might expect that the events portrayed occurred naturally or,
at the least, were not scripted. This is not always the case.
Many reality shows occur in unreal environments, like rented
mansions occupied by film crews. Such living environments do
not reflect what most people understand to be "reality."
Worse, there have been accusations that events not captured
on film were later restaged by producers. Worse still, some
involved in the production of "reality" television claim that the
participants were urged to act out story lines premeditated by
producers. With such accusations floating around, it's no
wonder many people take reality TV to be about as real as the
sitcom.
