The thing that's been bugging me about this new trend of show is that it suggests that TV executives are losing their grip on what constitutes reality.

A bunch of people stranded on an island with cameras following them around isn't reality TV, it's a game show.
A bunch of people locked in a house with cameras everywhere except the room with the psychiatrist in isn't reality TV, it's a game show.
