Abstract/Summary

The video starts out with an introduction of a filmmaker about his documentary on a new reality television show. He investigates the reality of the said television show. Then, he presents the cast of the reality show and the trailer of the program. The teaser contains the concept of the show and each character is stereotyped as the bitch, the jock, the kikay girl, the outcast, etc. The teaser will also show some of the engaging stories that the audience can look forward to.

After the show is aired the filmmaker interviews the cast. The cast complains about how they were misrepresented. To avoid being one-sided, he also interviews the producer and the rest of the crew. As the documentary progresses it becomes apparent that the housemates and the production team present contradicting stories. The video leaves the viewers to decide which reality to choose.
