Begin your summary as follows:


Reality television, dominating the tube right now, is about the real antics of people in environments. It shows people getting insulted or humiliated. Ironically, these shows are unreal as key moments are staged. Like sport. Reality shows are profitable as it is cheap to produce. Popular with viewers as people are voyeurs. These shows erase the boundaries between the public and the private. It is a great and new way of telling a story as it is unpredictable. Audience can identify the theme of the show. Reality shows will always have a place on television. However the prospects are dim. The reputations of the network are ruin. Producers will soon run out of ideas and viewers will get bored. Last but not least, the competition from other forms of programming.
