A TV show that actually has very little to do with reality, so named just because corporate dumbfucks needed a buzzword to attract attention and they couldn't think of a term that actually fit.
Dumping grounds for the dregs of television ideas; these shows represent the stupidity of not only television but the persons who watch them enough to keep them on the air. Each successive show is a crappy knockoff of another before it.
Jill: So what exactly do you do for a living?
Michael: I'm a Reality Show Writer.
Jill: Wow, that sounds very interesting.
Michael: Well, it's actually quite boring, if you must know.
