I don't enjoy reality TV because the concept is meant to imply spontaneity but it's clear that there are storylines and contrived drama, and people are picked for their willingness to NOT act realistically. Maybe in the earliest days of it there was some randomness but like any medium, it is going to be refined as producers figure out what works and fill the shows with that. We're at a point where there are strict formulas that have to be followed, and they're followed so strictly that each episode is pretty much the same. Even reality 'fixer upper' shows, which I used to enjoy, got annoying after a while because you could see them following the script. The "surprises" were no longer surprising and the drama goes flat.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
