In actuality they consider this television show to be based on reality. My Life as Liz.

Bringing Truth to Reality TV. I am an avid reality television watcher. It is an addiction I am willing to embrace.

Well, maybe not that deep after all. I like reality television because it is entertaining. Bottom line. This does not change the fact that. These “reality” shows are not authentic in any shape of the word. You are commenting...

Bringing Truth to Reality TV. Okay Not like, “oh man, this show rules! Even though it probably does. What I am about to suggest are the ratings. Reality television shows should define for the various levels of authenticity. Similar to ratings of movies getting four stars…this rating system will get Reality Checks.

Bringing Truth to Reality TV. Reality Bites Kitchen Nightmares. Kitchen Nightmares is hosted by the infamous Gordon Ramsay, who visits restaurants who need extra help and he helps them fix the problems. Most of the time this means eating awful food and cleaning dirty kitchens before he can really help out. While, I assumed this show was filled with exaggeration and lies, I was disappointed to finally admit the truth. As a fan, I didn’t want to believe it. 8220;I would never-ever-ever dream of setting any...

Project RunWrong | Reality Check
https://realitytelevisioncheck.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/project-runwrong
Bringing Truth to Reality TV. Is one of my favorite reality television shows. There is something about Tim Gunn. That makes my heart melt. Something about the way he says, “make it work,”. Or his sassy comments about the contestants designs. Last year’s finale of Project Runway showed the contestants stepping out at Bryant Park and saying thank you before showing their collection.
