Reality TV is a television genre where individuals interact, as their real selves, in situations believed to be dramatic enough to be entertaining, without a script.[1][2]

In 2001, after noting that scholars find reality TV hard to define, George Bagley offered the following definition in the Journal of Film and Video[1][2]:

‘‘As a presentation of non-actors in legitimately natural settings and situations working without a script, reality TV stakes its claim with viewers to regard its depictions as unadorned and spontaneous truthful documentation of natural reality’’.[1][2]
