Reality TV – love it or leave it

The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in
1997. Half the population of the country watched the final episode and a new kind of TV programme was
born. Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a fantastic success
and the final programme was watched by 15 million people. There are now more than20 countries around
the world which have Big Brother or Survivor (Expedition Robinson) on their TV screens. The ordinary
people who take part in the programmes are known by millions of people in theirown countries and reality
TV has become big, big business.

For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream come true because many of the programmes cost nothing to
make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the programme – to vote or to apply to
take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular
shows is Pop Idol (the programme is called different things in different countries). In the show, a group of
attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favourite person on the show. The
winner makes a record, his or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines, millions of copies of
the record are sold and then….they are quickly forgotten. But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In
Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble becausethey showed too much of the private lives of the people
in the shows. In France, reality TV is called ‘rubbish TV’ and the studios of Loft Story (Big Brother) were
attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as ‘an insult to human rights and
civilization’. But, despite the problems, reality TV continues to do well in most countries and it will be here
for some time to come.
