Robbie Williams recently told GQ magazine, “I never watch shows in which actors appear. Only reality shows.” Is he on his own or do others agree that the drama of ordinary people is more gripping than that dreamt up by scriptwriters?
Reality TV isn’t anything new. There have always been talent shows and in the 1990’s concepts like Big Brother burst onto screens around the world. Then came the many competitions starring celebrities, where they learnt to dance or sing or bake. But in the past few years, British television has been flooded by new shows following the trials and tribulations of groups of friends in various parts of the country.
They come with the warning that parts have been ‘set up purely for your entertainment’. However such editorial tweaking hasn’t stopped millions becoming addicted to the antics of Essex girls and posh Chelsea boys. The shows feature everything from the mundane manicure to explosive love triangles. Although the characters are somewhat manipulated by the producers, it’s easy to become attached to individuals, knowing that they are in fact real people, not the invention of an author.
But can reality shows replace actors and the dramas they star in? There is no denying that the scripted elements of the reality shows can be painful to watch. They lack slick delivery and often end up feeling much more false than a purely fictional scenario. There is none of the powerful, memorable dialogue that defines many TV series. And the fact that the ‘characters’ appear only to further their own careers, means that the shows are without direction or conclusion. It really is just a bunch of people living, on camera.
If you’re primarily interested in watching people do what you do, with the addition of money or funny accents, then reality shows are perfect. However there isn’t yet any reason for actors and actresses to worry about being made redundant by these shows. In my opinion, there is plenty of room on air for escapist, epic drama that takes you far from your own experience and plunges you into the world of the White House or Downton Abbey. (But, who knows, maybe the next reality show will be ‘The Obamas at home’!)

Do you agree with Robbie? Would you rather watch real people or actors on TV? You can read more about Reality TV here.

  4. I think actors also follow a script, also remain a fact of everyday life, they fuck experiences that have happened not only to them but also to people who are not necessarily actors, only these people who lead these papers have little more experience for action.

    I think we can get to be false, because it is something that by its multiple events (Discussions, Romances, alliances) achieve that viewers are excited to see more of this and followed the program this to gain audience.
    Apart are a waste for every person who sees this, because instead of reading a book, or see something like a cultural thing and having a content, wasting your time watching this kind of stuff.

  16. I think that is partly true, yet lie, because there are shows that appear to be something they are not and it is remarkable, but in other cases it is seen that they are people who do not have a script and if you really get everything in show.

    Similarly, what matters is how the audience reacts to events and problems and according to the direction of the program that has been altered or simply take it out of the tv.

  17. I agree with people who participate in reality shows are manipulated or conditioned people to be exaggerated, and conflicts and thus have a better rating. people who watch these programs and are part of them perhaps are the conflicting and perhaps more so the producers play with the integrity of individuals.

  18. I think the TV can now occur around a bit and that actors or actresses play a role that can be asked which you want to represent something real, everyday or some fiction or misleading for the public likes and to upload your "raitin" as output.

  21. I think reality shows are manipulated for the government so that the programs be entertained to wash the head of the people with the estupid things that broadcast in television, so it is better to be in a cinema or a theater watching things worthwhile

  25. In my opinion, I think the reality shows are made to create controversy and dislikes among participants, as this increases the rating that viewers will see a lot of attention these discussions, which sometimes can be hurtful and painful to another person, either by personality or physical defects, although the program is sold with a picture to prove who is the better or higher in some capacity, but it shows the lack of education of some participants.

  28. my personal opinion, I think the TV reality shows are a bit unpleasant, because they see many things that are not very nice, nose and can be provided to participate in something like that, but I can not deny that it's fun to see this kind programs, but they are not to my liking.
    Regarding robbie, I'd rather see actors as something less real, and not hurt so that may affect your emotions.

  33. I think that reality shows are useless, and directors ever control what people that "are no famous do. They ever are acting , faking and crying , so that viewers lose their time. I would rather to see actors that simply do their work.

  34. I wouldn´t like to watch shows where actors appear, neither novels by scriptwriters, because its in most of cases we will know the end of the story and the gripping will be lost,but in the cases of real people like for example in the dancing competitions we never are going to know what is going to happen?, what will they dance?, who will be eliminated?, and things like that, or in the shows of lost weight we never will know how many pounds they will lost?

  37. I think reality shows are a complete farce, deceiving viewers and making money thanks to the ingenuity of the spectators, giving more money to the already rich enough, is a clear example of our tv Protagonists had a most high ranking, but finally it was all a farce, none was needed, the relationships were just fighting and performances and other shows were written. In conclusion while losing time looking puden farces are programs that actually look worthwhile.

  38. I think reality shows are generating that society is consumed each time more and more on television, which is locked in a world of violence and farce. I think if someone wants to achieve his dreams must do it yourself and not through a program that displays only what suits him. It would be important to see things on television logical and educational. Daniela Martinez 1103

  45. in my opinion, I agree with Robbie Williams since television will always want to influence people. in some cases the actors must follow a strict script that does not allow them to express themselves freely.
    what we try to do is help them so they can fulfill their dream of becoming actors.
    through a talent show based on romance, action, emotion, drama, among others.

  48. I think reality shows are a way to harm national TV, and we show that these inappropriate attitudes, which can disrupt a child's ideas to develop your mind. Sell ​​an idea is damaged and twisted like seeing things in establishing a dialogue and coexistence, and this creates an image of how we should behave with other people, it means a lot to a person who is easily influenced by your favorite artist, I think that the channel should take time to show something educational family where people have fun and learn.

  49. I think that all these programs are full of curiosity and more than a show is a type of program at all is good television is very bad and I think if possible it is better to change this type of program is as large as brothers live people and big brother because realistically no fighting no big brother.

  55. I agree with robin williams , some TV actors always follow a strict script which does not allow them to express themselves freely . although it must be stressed that always show the reality of what we are experiencing today. on the other hand, I believe that the in Realitis people can be authentic and demonstrate their talent and passion for art.
    ie in the tv always show the same entertainment programs but with different topics or programming.
