Scripted Reality is a genre of television programming that combines elements of reality TV and scripted drama. In these shows, real people are placed in situations that are often planned or guided by producers, leading to scripted interactions and outcomes. While the participants may be real, the scenarios they face are typically designed to create drama or entertainment. This format allows for a blend of authenticity and storytelling, appealing to audiences who enjoy the spontaneity of reality TV but also appreciate the narrative structure found in traditional scripted shows. Popular examples of Scripted Reality include series like The Hills and Jersey Shore.
