You're on a Big Brother forum though.
Of course we're going to back Big Brother.

But if this question was asked on the 2011 Census [LOL how epic would that be] then I can promise you The X Factor would win by a mile.

Which is a disgrace.

agreed. i find ex-factor has become increasingly annoying. 2011 was going to be a bad year for uk reality tv in my opinion until bb was announced.

Reality TV:
Big Brother, CBB, I'm a Celeb, The Real World, The Only Way is Essex

Talent shows:
XF, BGT, Got to Dance, Strictly, Dancing on Ice

Other shows that often get dragged into the same arena:
The Apprentice, Masterchef, Come Dine With Me

I think to classify as 'reality' television you have to depict the characters or contestants living out day-to-day normal routines, whether that be social interaction or whatever. You don't really get that with the X Factor, ignoring tabloid rumours of what goes on at the House.

So I guess my favourite reality TV show would be Big Brother. I also liked Playing it Straight

No. They are still classed as Reality TV shows by most people.

BB by several dozen country miles, it's the only reality show that I regularly watch for myself rather than because the girlfriend / family / a friend puts it on and the only one I make sure I see. The rest I can either take or leave or would rather stick pins in my penis than watch (TRW)

who cares?

even in the intro it admits that some scenes are created for entertainment. You can't just randomly film people and hope for some entertaining bits to happen. And for a storyline to emerge. These shows need a structure so need to be somewhat manipulated.

[ILoveTRW]

The Real World, you can never beat the original.

[GypsyGoth]

Big Brother.

[ILoveTRW]

This is the break down

True Reality TV:
The Real World, Bad Girls Club and Jersey Shore

Competitive Reality TV:
Big Brother, The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, I'm a Celeb and Survivor

Partly Scripted Reality TV:
Only way is Essex and The Hills

Talent shows:
X Factor, Britains Got Talent and Strictly Come Dancing
