The Arguments and Audience of Reality TV

1) I’m tired and I do not feel like writing this right now.
2) Both the argument and audience of reality TV shows cannot be generalized for the entirety of all reality TV. Instead, the argument and the audience depend upon the basis of individual reality shows. For instance, programs such as “The Hills,” “Laguna Beach,” “The Real World,” or any other reality show on MTV target audiences of high school-aged adolescents and college students. In contrast, programs such as “American Idol,” “Super Nanny,” and “Trading Spaces” attract families as their viewers. In addition, reality shows such as “The Amazing Race,” “Fear Factor,” and “Survivor” draw an adventurous and athletic audience. Thus, reality shows attract different viewers based on the viewers’ activities, interests, and age-appropriate content.
Similarly to how different varieties of reality TV have varying audiences, the message that each genre conveys also varies. For example, the reality shows on MTV reveal that supposedly everyday people possess drama filled lives of nothing but social activities. Family-oriented reality TV shows, such as “American Idol,” show that normal people can become famous singers. Furthermore, reality shows like “Super Nanny,” and “Trading Spaces,” illustrate that families are not perfect because they need help from professionals in order to control their children or decorate their house. Likewise, adventurous reality shows like “The Amazing Race,” “Fear Factor,” and “Survivor” prove that everyday people can physically push themselves while participating in athletically challenging tasks. Thus, reality shows focus on everyday people; however, each reality show focuses on different aspects of normal people’s lives.
