And here Avery falls into the same trap as actual “reality TV” directors. Reality turns out to be too boring, so they enhance it so much that it’s basically fiction, but still still with much worse production values than scripted fiction. (No, I’m not a fan of “reality TV”; how did you guess?)
My former step kids used to watch a lot of “reality TV” back when it was defined by MTV series like “Road Rules”, which involved stuffing a lot of young adults into an RV and traveling the open road together. It all seemed to involve placing a lot of attractive but emotional people together in a small setting to maximize the drama. the main difference was that the conflicts were often about small things that few writers would imagine using in a TV script.
Any attempt to make a series of my “real” life would end with the discovery that 50 something bachelors lead very dull lives, and we’re ok with that.

My mom watches a lot of TLC, and from it, I learned that reality is even more formulaic.
