Do Reality Shows Really Show Reality?

Reality is just a word that most of the shows today use to attract the viewers. They are calling their shows as the reality shows but actually all that they show seems to be a set up. The judges of singing and dancing shows are shouting and getting aggressive in one episode and in another episode all is well. I have never understood this stuff. The participants are crying on one day and another day they are fighting with other participants. All this is not reality for me. I never took these shows as the reality shows but yes for sure I find a lot of entertainment in them or lets say the "Masala".
There are various reality shows we have on television. The quiz shows like KBC (Kaun banega crorepati ) & Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain, the singing talent shows like Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Indian idol, the dance shows like DPL & Dance India dance, the recent other so called reality shows were pati patni aur woh and Swyamvar. The very popular Bigg Boss (the Indian version of big brother) is also a confusion for me ( I always doubt its reality). Not only this even the cool, youth TV channels like MTV are also following the trend of reality shows. The shows like Roadies, Splitsvilla all are youth's favorite. Its a big list, lets now talk about what they are telecasting and how much we viewers are believing in them .
I have seen many reality shows till now but don't know why I never believed in the reality they show. How can I believe that the dancer who is dancing just stopped suddenly because he/she blacked out. I find it very filmy. And then a singer with a bad throat sings so beautifully, in fact more beautifully then the time when he/she was well. Are we dummies or do they feel that we are so much into TV that we believe whatever the TV says ? Last season of Big Boss had an incident where the participants jumped out of the house. What were these people trying to show? Do you think we will believe in this stuff ? The cameras are on , the people who monitor are there, even Big Boss is talking to them and still they were successful in it. Well I can't believe it. And how can I leave the shows like Pati Patni or Woh behind. This show was not at all a reality show for me. I never felt that its a reality show and may be thats why it wasn't that popular. Even the Perfect Bride its also a drama for me. I feel that the participant do as they are asked to do. I agree with Livemint's article , where it says that contestant picked those products which were its sponsors . All reality shows are making money through the sponsors and with the one word REALITY.
OK you tell me- Don't you feel you are being fooled ? The shows ask you to vote through SMS and then ? The contestant who wins is not the one you voted for. The popular and favorite contestants make it to 2nd or 3rd place only. I really feel bad when this happens. The only show where I felt reality was existing is KBC. But then even such quiz shows started making money by calling celebs and these celebs always win a higher amount. Does that show that celebrity are smarter or luckier than common people. Well I don't think so, I don't know what they do with that money. It might be used in charity or something else but the game should be fair. I don't know whether to call such game shows fair or not. I knew it already that Rakhi Sawant is not going to marry the guy who she choose in “Rakhi ka swyamvar” & I guess even you felt the same. And now Rahul Mahajan is ready to do his “Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jaayega”. Lets see whether he gets married to the winner or not.
Well at the end I would like to conclude my opinion by saying that these shows are partially real & scripted. Contestants do get the directions what they should or should not do, shows get edited. I guess most of the people feel same but still watch these shows, at least I do. After all we want entertainment. Please do give your comments below and also vote here : Tezaa
