The format includes various subgenres such as competition (e.g., talent shows, survival contests), dating shows, documentaries, and lifestyle programming. Reality TV often emphasizes personal drama, conflict, and emotional moments, making it popular for its perceived authenticity and relatability. The genre has become a significant part of popular culture, influencing trends and media consumption.
