Reality TV is what people believe to be exactly like real life but what you can watch but if that were true then they wouldn't be very popular as we would be living as opposed to watching reality tv. These shows cut out a lot of what actually is real and fit it into an hour long slot. Not only that but those who have reality shows are generally people who aren't regular people or have some strange and interesting situation in their lives such as Keeping Up with the Kardashians and 16 and Pregnant. Despite this, it still tricks us into believing that this is what our lives should be like, especially the young and impressionable, so we react to situations differently as our instincts adapt to what society is telling us through these programs almost to believe that what we're doing is the normal thing when it could be very unhealthy such as drinking/smoking or how we behave in romantic relationships. Overall, reality television is tainting the world that we live in.
