reality tv popularity, list of reality tv shows Most people have a guilty pleasure of watching one of the long list of reality TV shows all over basic and premium cable. Some of the stories are down right fascinating, some are down right mind numbing (all the match me up with a perfect mate from a pool of crazies) and a few show what life is like for interesting career choices. Reality TV popularity has gotten so out of control it can be hard to decipher what is real and what was scripted. I think reality TV writers do so when their brains can no longer come up with something fresh. I’m not talking about the writers who narrate a show or explain what is happening. I’m talking about the reality TV show contestants, guest judges and all those other people who pop in any given episode who say the right or wrong thing. There is no way some of what these people say is right off the top of their dome.

I think it would be fun to be this kind of writer. It is a mixed bag of creating fact and fiction sort of like what James Frey did with A Million Little Pieces. The writer’s have a lot to do with reality TV popularity. They create the characters we love, hate and all the insanity that seems to follow. These are the facts about reality television.
