Basis of popularity of the Reality TV Shows

Final Countdown has begun as MTV Roadies is in its final stages. Palak and Noman are the only 2 roadies, who would fight against each other in Sydney ..

Other day I was watching another reality TV show on Dance and I feel that there are different basis for the popularity of the reality TV show.

Firstly, contestants go over the top with their act. Everyone wants to prove themselves better than the other and can go to any extent to make sure that they are on the top . The main aim is to get the maximum votes from the public. This reality show had the contestants, who were doing all the stunts, starting from performing different & difficult dance styles till the jumping from the first floor.

All these stunts need lots of courage to perform. You got to see to believe it that one contestant actually broke his hand while performing the heart shaking stunt.

While watching this show the another thing that comes to my mind is that its actually the emotional side of the show that makes the reality TV shows so popular. Every time the contestent is eliminated he not only makes sentimental comments but makes everyone shed tears. All of his best moments are replayed again and these moments build such an ambience that both, the audience and the judges also couldnot control their emotions .

We as audience are always keen and excited to see the contestant's private life. Their fights, romance, family and all gossip make us connected to them. The show, which has more fights, more drama , more romance between the contestents would be the most popular with the highest TRP.

Media like newspapers , radio makes reality TV show more popular as through out the day, the RJ's would keep talking about the shows which builds up the stimulation around the show. Everyone in office, in school , in home discuss the show round the clock and eagerly waits for weekend to catch-up with the latest happenings on the show.

These are the few thoughts that i beleive makes the reality TV show popular.

I am sure that you must be having lots of stories . Please share your views as well about the reality show..

So which reality show are you watching these days?? I would keep updating you about the reality TV shows..Till then Happy watching Reality TV shows
