Reality television is a genre of television programming which presents dramatic or humorous situations without any pre-written script, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be described as a form of “heightened” documentary, in which the camera captures everything as it happens, whether the show takes place in a real setting with real people, is shot in front of a live studio audience that participates in the program, or uses hidden surveillance (监控). Reality TV covers a wide range of formats, from game or quiz shows to productions that focus on careful observation of the participants. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity started in the beginning of this century. Critics comment that the term “reality television” is something of a misnomer. Such programs do not actually present reality as it is, but rather show a modified and highly influenced form of reality. The participants are often put in exotic locations or unusual situations, and sometimes even coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers. The events on screen are also manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques. Part of reality television’s appeal lies in its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For example, in one popular adventure game show, several teams race around the world, solving challenges to discover the next destination of their journey. They deduce clues, navigate in foreign streets, interact with locals, and travel by airplane, boat, taxi, and other modes of transport on a limited budget. Reality television also gives ordinary people opportunities to show their talent and achieve their dreams of performing on stage, especially in talent and performance programs. Some critics have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several styles of program included in the genre because the producers and editors have a lot of say in what happens on the show. In competition-based programs and other special-living-environment shows, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment. These types of shows create a completely fabricated (虚构的) world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events and settings to encourage particular behaviors and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, agrees with this comment and avoids the word “reality” to describe his shows. He once said, “I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.”【缺少答案,请补充】
