'Reality TV' is a thing
- brewdad 5y agoThe most successful ones threw people into situations that were completely unlike real life for 99.999% of the population. Survivor? Real World/Big Brother? An interview/apprenticeship with Trump with completely made-up "challenges" each week? None of these are real in any meaningful sense.
