A common theme that has emerged in relationship literature is the effect that TV reality shows have on determining one's perception and engagement in intimacy. For instance, the introduction of technology has shifted the way we participate in courtship practices. Now, individuals use mediums, such as dating apps, to find a partner and engage in intimacy. However, this discussion has ignored other mediums, such as TV shows, that center intimacy and relationships. In this article, we explore how the emergence of dating reality TV shows has shaped the way we perceive intimacy and engage in dating behaviours, answering the question: how are dating reality TV shows affecting relationships?
