What I mean is, is that the drama is real in Reality shows. Still not convinced? Okay, well, another reason why reality television shows are so trendy is the characteristics of so many of the characters. Characters in regular television shows may be too perfect. A bit too much like the Cinderella story? Too unrealistic? Yes! Reality shows claim to have no acting! (Though we all have our thoughts on that subject!) When people don't act, they shows their real characteristics, that's why people like reality shows so much! Though this may be ambiguous to you, think about it, why do you watch Reality television?
