1. The "truth" of reality shows. Communication theory believes that one of the main ways for people to understand the world is through various information spread through the media, and everyone has the rationality to pursue truth and truth. The "real people" in reality shows weaken the performance and are in line with the audience's pursuit of "truth".

2. The "show" in reality shows. Communication theory believes that mass media has the function of providing entertainment, and audiences hope to relax physically and mentally through the entertainment content of the media. The "show" in reality shows, that is, the performance part, goes beyond the real life of ordinary people, and the later editing also makes the reality show more enjoyable to watch.

The above two points are the main reasons for the popularity of reality shows.
