It seems the term "reality TV" (not just for WL, but in general use)

Yay, I've been lumped in with the masses!

Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have used Millionaire as an example of a 'reality TV' show. But what do you call that genre of gameshows (Millionaire, Dog Eat Dog, etc.)? Whatever they are, I still can't stand them.

As for 'Reality TV', I can't stand the idea behind it simply because it isn't reality, and hasn't been since the first season of "The Real World" (if even then) - the 'participants' don't act normally, they pander to the cameras to get more air time or to not get voted off, or whatever is applicable for the show in question.

The closest you can come to 'reality' television is Oblivious (a gameshow that's shot in public, contestants don't know they're on television until after they've answered their questions) or Trigger Happy TV if you want to stretch the definition even more (random acts of British humor in public).
