For Real: The Story of Reality TV

S01E06 Shock and Awe

Host Andy Cohen explores how provocative television can both shock and appall audiences through programs such as Bad Girls Club, Mama June: From Not to Hot, and Fear Factor. He also highlights how these shows can educate viewers, like Botched does, and uplift previously marginalized communities, as seen in I am Jazz and RuPaul's Drag Race.
