Reality TV

Reality TV is a television genre where individuals interact, as their real selves, in situations believed to be dramatic enough to be entertaining, without a script.^[1]^[2]

In 2001, after noting that scholars find reality TV hard to define, George Bagley offered the following definition in the Journal of Film and Video^[1]^[2]:

‘‘As a presentation of non-actors in legitimately natural settings and situations working without a script, reality TV stakes its claim with viewers to regard its depictions as unadorned and spontaneous truthful documentation of natural reality’’.^[1]^[2]
