Reality shows have become an inalienable part of TV pro-grammes. However, while lots of people admire them glued to their TV screens, there are more sceptical viewers who doubt the quality of these shows.
On the one hand, reality TV is great fun and it is one of the best ways of entertainment, which helps people to unwind after a long day at school or at work. Another reason for its success is in-teractivity. Most people enjoy reality shows because they have an opportunity to participate so they feel in control of the partici¬pants' destiny. Finally, we can watch how contestants react under pressure thus imagining how we would behave under the same cir-cumstances. It can be really instructive.
On the other hand, not all of these programmes are made in good taste. It seems like TV producers are running but of ideas be-cause all of them are exactly the same. What is more, many of them are actually a fake because participants are made to rehearse their performance so we cannot trust them. Finally, people who win shows like X Factor or Pop Idol are not real celebrities because they become famous for a little while and then disappear.
In conclusion, I can say that no matter whether we like reality TV or hate it, it is here to stay and it reflects our life. Personally, I think it is a good way to relax and a wonderful opportunity for people to boost their careers.
