reality shows also owe their success to human nature people are by nature nosy they are fascinated by other people's personal lives and like to know what is going on behind closed doors we get a thrill out of seeing a person confess a secret to a friend witnessing someone tell her boyfriend a lie or watching someone offer a ring to his true love
reality TV can also help us feel good about ourselves parents watching the shocking behavior of children on the u.s show nanny 9-1-1 may find themselves reflecting on how relatively well-behaved their own children are a woman who feels her boyfriend isn't quite smart and sophisticated enough might feel differently after watching an episode of the japanese reality show Ainori (love bus)the obnoxious behavior of some of those men may make her realize that her boyfriend is prince charming after all
