“Reality shows"

A “reality show” is a television program based on real life. Always with ordinary people and not actors, there are no scripts. But in my opinion, it’s a very modified and influenced form of reality, because participants are placed in an abnormal place and situations.

In Portugal the most famous reality show was probably “Big Brother”, a group of people living together in a house, trying to make some tasks and being voted, by the audience, to leave every week.

I don’t like this kind of shows very much, but I guess people like it because they can relate to the situations and we never now what will happen.
