Fake Or Real? Which Of These Reality Television Shows Have We Made Up?
I'm certainly not the first person to make fun of the gleaming travesty that constitutes reality television and I hopefully, excluding the increasing possibility of civilisation being destroyed by some disastrous thermonuclear conflict, won't be the last.
It must seem incredibly frustrating for makers of intensely produced and budget-heavy shows, who've poured months, if not years, of work and passion into a project, to see its ratings utterly pale in comparison to something like Celebs Go Dating, a show where the adult male Joey Essex tries to seduce and ultimately impregnate any living organism within a 30-mile radius of his home.
That said though, they're pretty amazing. Given that each reality show needs to have a unique hook, television companies have thrown a lot of crap at the wall over the years to see what might stick. As such, we've compiled a list of some pretty mental reality television shows, some of which are real, some of which are fake. See if you can guess which ones actually exist.
