Is reality TV naturally exploitative? Or do participants deserve the highs and lows of what they sign up for?

In this episode of #ShareYourScreen, Nicky Reardon and Coco Mocoe create a slideshow about the history and trends that we see in reality TV programming. This is at the heels of two preemptive lawsuits against Netflix (from Love is Blind cast members) and NBC + Bravo (from various reality stars on their network, including Bethenny Frankel)

We talk about various shows, including; Vanderpump Rules, Real Housewives, Love is Blind, Perfect Match, Big Brother and more.

This is all based on opinion! We encourage you to look up facts and form your own opinions. Feel free to comment what you think down below. No right or wrong takes.
