Now a days there is a lot more buzz around Reality TV shows. Most of us really like to watch them with deep interests, but do they know the reality of reality shows??
Read on...
In simple language a Reality show is a series of TV program, which records and present the original, unscripted actual events and situations, usually by ordinary people. Well I am not agree with the definition. As you should have observed, recently in almost all reality shows, celebrities and professional actors are participating. Currently Big Boss 4 is being aired (and I see that people around me are mad for that :)) and who are participants?.. Shiney Ahuja, Chunky Pandey, Sara Khan, Manoj Tiwari and many more. (Its a bad news for Big Boss lovers that Pamela Anderson denied for show.)
So coming back to flash back, first reality show was Allen Funt's Candid Camera, that was aired in 1948. Till then numerous species of reality shows have evolved, like game show, talk show, fear show, adventure show, talent show, competition show, laughter shows etc. etc....
If we talk our India, the fashion here is, if something is hit, you will get the carbon copies of that instantly (that even in bulk). From past 2-3 years I am observing that all news channels are broadcasting comedy reality shows. There is a host, a few participants and 3-4 Judges. The Judges praise almost every participant, laugh boisterously on every performance and it looks like you are watching repeat show (however its better than watching Sas-Bahu serials..Oops.. sorry ladies).
People are crazy for reality shows. They think this is one of the fastest ways of getting instant fame.. I agree a bit, but can you guess the ratio of person who shine to who apply. Hits are on finger tips while you can't hold the rest crazy crowd in both of your arms. If you want to read how reality shows fool us, read this article from times magazine.
So In my opinion most reality shows are full drama that is served to us based on the concept of "Jo dikhta hai, vahi Bikta hai"... What do you think?? Please share in comments, and also tell which reality show you like / hate the most.
