Reality TV is like throwing a bunch of overly dramatic people into a human-sized blender, hitting “pulse,” and filming whatever sloshes out. It’s where ordinary folks suddenly transform into professional backstabbers, love experts, and emotional wrecks—all while maintaining impeccable contouring.

Meanwhile, producers lurk just off-camera, whispering sweet, manipulative nothings to keep the drama simmering. Every conversation sounds like it was written by a soap opera AI, and yet you can’t stop watching because somewhere deep down, you know that you, too, would love to be part of it.
