“f I remember right, MTV’s “Real World” was the first “Reality TV” show.”

Many people watch these shows including members of my family. I think they don’t see things that we see.

I still watch Survivor, barely.. but it has become so bad, it is unbearable to most 'normal' (meaning not queer) people, and it has become a tad bit heavy on CRT stuff too.

It is very far from what it started at 20 years ago. Even eveningstar (RIP) would be very disappointed.

Nope—that came out in 1992. The first aired in 1973 on PBS, An American Family, featuring the Loud family, parents and several children. It was the first reality show, and also featured the first gay teenager coming out to his family, Lance Loud. The show made him an early "gay icon." He also became a meth addict, and would eventually die of hepatitis and AIDS at age 50.
