The reality of "reality shows" is like Gogar said, cheap, easy, no SAG residuals, low production costs.
Watch a one hour drama on a major network and count the number of producer credits, sometimes 11-13 producers on one show. At one time an episode cost of "ER" was around $13 million, multiply that into a 22 episode season and your spending some big $$.
Also, the advertising dollars are no longer there so Dancing w/ the Stars, Biggest Loser, Wife Swap and other shows are a bargain.
C'mon, you know you can't wait for the next episode of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians"
