Essential Reality TV Tropes: Analyzing How TV Built Its Own "Reality"
Reality TV has become a genre unto itself 30 years after the first season of The Real World debuted as a “social experiment,” with character types, stock stories, and cliches that rival the laziest detective dramas. There’s the bald-faced lies, the knock-down, drag-out fights, the apology ritual, the alliances, villains and hot messes; and, of course, the drama. Here’s our list of the most essential tropes and characters in reality TV, and why some of them are just so played out that we wish they’d pack their bags.
