RTV:
I never really thought about what RTV actually is. I think it is because i never really thought i was watching RTV when i watched Dirty Jobs or Man vs Wild. I personally think that RTV is specifically unpredictable events being filmed. By this definition, I guess sporting events and game shows are RTV because you never know EXACTLY what is going to happen.

This is a very concise definition of RTV, and I completely agree with your "unpredictable"-ness of RTV. Isn't the guy that host Man vs Wild been caught staying in a hotel room? If so I wouldn't consider it reality.
In a way you do hit on a point of RTV. Also... John, you mentioned that about Bear Gryllz getting caught in a hotel room... well something I would like to note is that the viewers of his show. People who just watch that show wouldn't know that. So what we as people watch is almost like what we believe is happening. In reality since it IS tv, things are portrayed however they want it to, and we gobble it up anyways.
