The Masterminds of Reality TV

Reality TV is now the primary source of must-see weekly entertainment. Shows like 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives', 'Love Island', and 'Survivor' are sparking conversations about social issues. Vulture's Reality TV Masterminds list highlights the individuals driving this genre. The list includes on-screen talent, industry executives, and others who have made significant contributions. Ariana Madix, for example, has emerged as a battle-hardened icon after her scandal on 'Vanderpump Rules'. She has since starred on Broadway and landed a scripted role on 'St. Denis Medical'. The list demonstrates how reality TV has evolved into a platform where people can make and sustain careers.
