6. Reality TV Supports Bad Acting
Let’s face it. The cast members on most reality TV shows could use some work when it comes to acting. They don’t exactly have a script, but the producers tell them what the storyline of each episode will be, and they’re forced to act surprised, angry or congenial depending on the episode. Obviously, it’s all staged. Who wakes up each morning with a full face of makeup on? It’s also true that when you know a camera is on you, you’re bound to do a few things that are out of character, whether you’re overly nervous and don’t talk much, or have the urge to show off. Either way, it’s terrible acting, and people who have actually studied the craft have to work even harder now to get your attention.
