Funny what a difference it makes when you have people at work that have similar common interests than you do. Not to shit on people who love reality TV, but hearing that kind of stuff day in, day out in the office is enough for me to put my headphones in and drown the noise out with whatever genre I want for the day.
Change the topic to videogames and sure enough 30 minutes goes by in a blink (to which I’m sure those who want to talk about reality TV are then chucking headphones in themselves haha).
Oooh spill!
I watched a couple of seasons with Mum as she preferred FTA to streaming or arr’ed, peaced out for the ball cupping one and we tuned in again last year when Olivia went Olivia.
Producers encouraged infidelity, if sparks didn’t fly from the start. If sparks did fly, the couples would be ‘tested’ a bit more to create tension.
Most groups scenes heavily edited to paint certain people as ‘villains’.
About 50% of the participants only signed up to create drama.
Producers would spread fake rumours and see how people reacted, then they’d try to make the rumours reality if it looked like shit was going to get juicy.

I would rather soap operas, at least soaps talk about social issues , reality tv is just nasty
Most (if not all) reality tv is still ‘scripted’ in a way. Produces guide the outcomes and create drama for views.
