I fully don’t get why people like that. It looks mean and dull and it’s not even reality. The sexy ones also look like a shit stand-in for actual porn, too.
I like one category of reality tv and even then only a small subsection of them: Game Shows. The subsection in particular seems to be Japanese game shows subbed in English, the only ones I know so far tbh are Sasuke and Takeshi’s Castle. As to why, Sasuke is just cool and Makoto Nagano rules, plus it’s fun with the silly competitors. Takeshi’s Castle is just plain hilarious. Conversely I hate basically all american versions, American Ninja Warrior was ass and Wipeout was too, yet both were just stolen rebrandings of their Japanese counterparts with all the whimsy and fun sucked out.
And I’m mainly posting this to solicit recommendations for more Japanese game shows like that which I can pirate.
I would put those in a completely separate category, actually. They’re both older and more real than the “engineered compilation of random unscripted moments” type of thing.
I figure if Survivor counts (and people say it does) than those would too, but I feel you lol. I’ll check it out, thanks! The older the better tbh! Takeshi’s Castle was what like 1986ish?
they actively hire models, or attractive people on purpose. and many of them post show career, ends up as mlm, or worst on trumps administration, and of course porn too, sometimes they are pornstars before.

I have no recommendations, unfortunately, haha.
Well people consider Survivor reality tv, so idk I figured it was towards that genre. But whatever we consider it, I like it haha.
Haha okay I love Japanese game shows but I almost can’t call them reality. :P I recommend Silent Library. An older show but great.
