Do you think reality TV gets unfairly dismissed as “not real entertainment”? I’ve worked in both scripted and unscripted, and honestly, the hours and skills required are just as intense. Sometimes it's even more chaotic in unscripted because there’s no script to fall back on. Yet I’ve had people roll their eyes when I say I work in reality, like it’s not “serious” or worthy of respect. For some, it’s just a stepping stone, but for others it’s a full career path.

Reality is what keeps half the industry alive, it pays the bills when prestige projects flop. Dismissing it is pure snobbery.

A lot of undue bias against people working on reality TV. It has some dark sides. People, both on and off screen not being treated fairly. That aside, it’s just as much work as anything else out here.
