4.0

Honestly this is a very good and engaging history of reality TV for anyone who is really new to the idea of taking it seriously as a genre with a history and impact on culture, but I'm not really sure that it added anything new to the conversation? I'm certainly not an ~expert~ on reality TV academia, and it's not like I didn't finish it! But I also don't think I really learned anything new here that I hadn't already picked up from podcasts and other books I've read in the past.
