Reality television

Reality television shows are programs that show people doing things and having fun (or sometimes fighting!) in the real world. People who watch reality TV get to see celebrities or ordinary people doing ordinary things like cooking, competing in challenges, shopping, singing, and more! Some shows follow the same group of people over time, so you get to know them and see how their lives change. Reality TV is a great way to escape from the everyday world and have some fun!
