	Reality Programming
		Reality programming expresses social or moral dilemmas in emotional terms; and it is the emotional affectivity of a programme which acts as the key support for its "truthfulness" or credibility.
		Reality programs are generally sold on a "cash-plus-barter" basis, meaning that in addition to receiving cash for license fees, syndicators reserve the right to sell one or two minutes of national advertising time while local stations sell the remaining minutes themselves.
		Audiences for reality shows tend to fit conventional expectations with regard to the gender of viewers; men 18-49 are the predominant viewers of the crime and rescue sub-genre, and women 18-49 comprise the audience for the tabloid shows.

	Playahata.com - Sex, Shock, Surreal: Reality TV, A Quick Observation - August 2005
		It's no coincidence that in reality show competitions many of the contestants have all had breast implants, or are attractive former models or porn star rejects.
		Often times the characters that partake in reality TV are just as shocked to see the final finished version of a show as the regular viewers.
		African American female contestants have been some of the most outspoken with complaints about Reality TV and they are probably correct in saying they have been misrepresented but I doubt very seriously that they are so mad that they would not do a reality TV show again.

		The combo series get criticism from every direction, whether it's PETA objecting to the spearing of a pig on "Survivor" or the complaints that are likely to greet "The Amazing Race," which appears to depict Americans driving in an unsafe manner in foreign countries.
		CBS was probably in no real danger of that happening when a contestant on "Big Brother 2" playfully put a knife to the throat of another player, but CBS dismissed the knife wielder from the show just in case.
		Grushow said a first-year reality show is still cheaper than a first-year drama (about $800,000 to $1 million for each episode of a reality show vs. $1.1 million to $1.5 million for a scripted drama), but those other factors are making them less enticing than they once were.

	Floridian: Changing reality TV
		Changing reality TV Last year's ratings sensations have cooled since Sept. 11, and viewers and producers are more aware of the line between edgy and offensive.
		If the reality genre has changed at all in recent months, it may be that producers are warier of the line between edgy entertainment and offending viewers.
		Reality TV is still strong at CBS; despite disappointing ratings for the global competition The Amazing Race, the network has ordered a second version.

	'Manhunt': Straightness is the main issue in male model contest
		The first lesson of Bravo's reality show "Manhunt: The Search for America's Most Gorgeous Male Model" is that men who want to be models are less stable than women who want to be models.
		One intones darkly about portents, another seems institionalizably paranoid, a third says sunnily, "Since the day I took a breath on this earth, I wanted to be a male model." When the guys, who have manly names like Tate and Blake, talk, their conversation is about how definitely not gay they are.
		When induced to strip to their underwear and skydive, each with a male instructor strapped to his back, they get very serious in their complaining that everyone would rather be skydiving with a girl.

		Melding the self-help ethic of daytime TV with the drama of reality TV, the show has been dubbed a "soapra." But viewing three episodes of Starting Over, I had the nagging sense that whenever participants' needs conflicted with the series' needs, producers chose to serve the show.
		Tonight's installment, How Real is Real, revisits incidents such as Liza Minnelli's aborted VH1 reality show, allegations of producer meddling on CBS's Survivor and Joe Millionaire runnerup Sarah Kozer's objections to editing that implied she had sex with the bachelor (including onscreen subtitles for sound effects such as "gulp!" and "slurp").

		Reacting to the final cut of her ongoing MTV reality series with husband Nick Lachey, pop star Jessica Simpson told Entertainment Weekly that content she believed would be suitable to show their children one day had somehow morphed into material deserving a PG-13 movie rating just because of the way it was edited.
		One trick for turning multi-dimensional human beings into paper-thin caricatures (stereotypes are a commodity reality industry types crave) is to edit genuine expressions and reactions out of sequence.

		``Lost Room'' has such a tenuous hold on logic and reality (all good sci fi-fantasy needs to be tethered to the real world in some form) that it's almost impossible to describe the story line.
		But though bad can be campy, shows with real camp appeal just aren't this bad; there's simply not enough fun here that you'll want to invest the time.
		What's really worth noting, though, is that the installment was directed by filmmaker Harold Ramis (``Groundhog Day,'' ``The Ice Harvest'').

''Reckless formats seem inappropriate in such an anxious era,'' says Matthew Felling of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Media and Public Affairs, noting that MTV's ''Jackass'' had called it quits in August.
