Reality TV shows are some of Australia’s highest rating programs – with many contestants thrust into the spotlight, some for all the wrong reasons. So, what happens when the show’s done and dusted? Do people know what they’re getting in to? Should they? Michelle Rimmer from SBS VICELAND’s The Feed, meets former contestants, who share their experience, and what they call the reality of “reality TV”.
It screens from 10 – 10:30pm tonight on SBS while a shorter segment will replay in The Feed on Thursday.
