Introduction The broadcast media, particularly, television and its varied programs, is now considered a big part of everybody’s life. Everyday, almost every hour, people of all ages, sizes and/or gender can be seen glued to the TV watching their favorite program. Indeed, TV has become a detrimental part of everybody’s life which is why TV producers and/or networks make sure that they will be providing some thing new or something different to the viewers. It is in this aspect why reality shows came into prominence. Reality TV shows, as the name implies, are TV programs which highlight real life dramas. The characters or the ‘stars’ of such programs are common individuals (ordinary members of the society) who are either invited or auditioned themselves for the said programs. Reality programs/shows are normally aired everyday, or of not, every particular day of the week. Some of the highly known reality shows we have nowadays are Big Brother, Survivor, Amazing Race, Top Chef, among others. This paper will focus on one particular reality show, Big Brother, as this has been a very famous program which various countries around the world (such as the US, UK, and in some parts of Asia) had their own version.

The director and the program producers totally rely on the characters on how the ‘story’ will evolve. What they need to do is to find certain display of various humanistic emotions in which they think the viewers can certainly relate to. Directors and program producers will also need to think day-to-day activities that they will be asking the ‘characters’ to do so that every night of every show, there is something new to watch for by the viewers. Such activities also serve as tests or challenges for the ‘characters’ which will, sometimes, in turn push them to their limits forcing them to be evicted out of the Big Brother house or of whatever reality show it is. Below is the summarized version of their responses to interview questions:  1. How long have you been watching reality shows like Big Brother? The members of the family are one in saying that they have been watching Big Brother since it was introduced in TV. In fact, they subscribed to cable so that they will be able to watch other country’s version of Big Brother too.  1. Are you giving enough attention to the way the show is aired: the characterization, the script, and the message it imparts to viewers like you? What do you notice? The older members of the family (both parents and the 16-year old daughter) revealed that they are very particular with the characters and how the directors and program producers conceptualize activities for such characters. They would find it amusing if in some parts, the ‘characters’ could not p
