The entire population of television viewers seem to be hooked in the fresh fad that is branded as reality show. In the eyes of the producers, it is amazing how this show genre has managed to garner a massive following. It astounds them as the relatively low budget reality shows ironically bring in a net profit surpassing that of drama, sitcoms and other show genres which require a high budgeted production.
But, what is really with reality shows that makes it extremely popular? Read on and be enlightened why viewers just can't get enough of the various reality shows taking their lead on the television.
Viewers Can Relate Themselves
To start off, reality shows portray how things really unfold in real life. Unlike in drama shows and sitcoms, reality shows give a more honest presentation of various life situations everyone can relate to. The mixture of adventure, travel, drama, comedy, just to name a few elements, are reasons enough why reality shows are embedded in the hearts of the viewers.
Viewers Are Challenged For Solutions
Reality shows allow viewers to feel as if they are also an integral part of the show. Because the adventure in reality shows usually involve solving puzzles and looking for solutions to ordeals, it also stimulates the audience to think and figure out ways to come up with the solutions. To say the least, reality shows have a way to sharpen the minds of the audience.
Viewers Feel Important
Reality shows make people feel that what they have to say is important. Even if there is a panel of judges, the viewers are given the power to vote who they want to stay in the competition and in some cases, who they want to leave it. Some reality shows also allow viewers to cast their votes ten times at most. The audience can vote through a phone call or even through the Internet.
Viewers Can Interact
Other shows, especially those that are getting decent ratings, are not necessarily good shows. No one really cares about the blog posts of the critics. With reality shows, the audience can speak out their minds about the way things go in the show and if the show is still providing the adventure, travel, comedy or drama it promises to deliver. Reality shows are more interactive and people obviously love that element.
Viewers Love The Romance
The romance. Oh yes, people are hopeless romantics who believes that constant dealing creates emotions. That is one of the reasons why the audience clings on to every episode. They want to see as a romance blossoms between two persons and if what they will have be taken to the higher and more beautiful level.
Viewers Can Relate With The Contestants
Another reason for watching the reality show is that many of the contestants are just like any other ordinary and "regular folk" who seeks after the adventure, travel and comedy a reality show offers. Being in the show gives the contestant an instant ticket to fame and makes the audience to believe that they too, can have their own moment in the limelight. It makes their hope alive that they can also be popular, even if it's just that so-called "fifteen minutes of fame".
Now, it has become understandable why reality shows become a phenomena everyone loves.
