Most reality shows that are popular show anything but ordinary, every day lives of your average person or family. Their struggles aren't what most people have to deal with, and their lives are all and all very different. I think that's what attracts viewers to these shows, be it because they are watching out of envy and want to live like the characters or because they feel empathy for the characters in the show. When watching The Real Housewives of Orange County, I believe viewers are enticed by their lifestyle and the drama that goes own (whether it is 'real' or not) and thats what keeps them fascinated. However, there are some pretty 'real' reality TV shows out there, surprisingly on MTV. MTV's True Life and I Used To Be Fat are both prime examples of reality TV shows where the audiences can really connect with the characters and relate to them on a deeper level.
